I've been mockingly using this terminology recently to underscore an important political observation that others are making besides me about the Left. That would be the Democrats are fracturing. They are at War with each other and it could spell disaster for them in the Fall. Rather than a "Blue Wave", they are in the process of cracking up in part because Trump has exposed their Left flank.

This isn't just me...consider the learned opinion of noted Democrat pollster Doug Schoen...long time Democrat opinion maker, and analyst. He sees the same thing, which I've linked to here:
(btw, he does offer some legislative agenda items Democrats could pursue in this piece, but the Left won't allow it...thus the crack up)

excerpt:
"Voters in Democratic primaries are split between staunchly progressive and more moderate factions. In the struggle for leadership of the party, supporters of each faction are potentially fatally weakening the Democrats for November contests, and potentially for the 2020 elections as well. That could pave the way for President Trump to be re-elected".

"the Democrats must advance an agenda that is explicitly different from what party leaders are currently articulating and focus on long-term objectives to create a society of opportunity for all – not guaranteed outcomes achieved through wealth redistribution".

Not the stuff of a "wave election" :confused:

They're finished. They know it. That's why they're so angry. Trump has roasted them like a Turkey on a rotisserie. They're tender and done, ready for consumption in the Fall. Enjoy!

The Democrats are fracturing but the Republicans are too (between pro-Trumpers and anti-Trumpers). In a way this is all to the good. It's kinda silly to think there would be only two POVs anyway. But the problem is that because our rules make it hard for a 3rd party to become viable, we'll probably still only have Dem and GOP to choose from. But the battle within each party should be interesting to see.

You have six posts in this thread. All of them are just copy and paste jobs and none of them address the OP in this thread. You're spamming. Stop it.

You can say that to him in just about every thread on here. If there was better moderation on here, somebody might say something to him. But there’s not, so they won’t.

I don't think this battle will be won in the middle Op2, although some of what you say about Republicans is absolutely correct. However usually...(especially during primaries) it's the party activists who dictate the agenda. Trump's base constituency is anti-Government. The Left's is pro-Government. If that battle is taken to the voters in the fall, I wouldn't be predicting a huge wave vote for more big Government.

Is it possible the Dems, Pelosi and mainstream media could do any more to assure the evaporation of any blue wave? It is absolutely amazing to view the self destruction taking place.

This is what happens when Hate consumes you. You become irrational, incoherent, & maniacal. Enjoy their crackup.

I don’t know what the hell it is, but it’s one of the more crazier things seen in present day politics.
