Scoop: Jeffries faces growing threat of 2027 rebellion

23. That's not necessarily true.

There are Democrats whom I disapprove of, in some cases at a very high level of disapproval, but I still wouldn't vote Republican and I wouldn't stay home.

The worst Democrat out there is better than any Republican, with few exceptions. And in a rare case, say if John Fetterman was on the ballot, I'd either write in my own name or leave it blank.

If I were asked about my "approval" or "disapproval" of Democrats as a whole right now, I would say that I disapprove. I'm disappointed that those in Congress aren't being as aggresive as Republicans were when they were in the minority the first two years of the Obama Administration, when they blocked most everything he wanted to do. I am disappointed that some Democrats still think "bipartisan" is a positive word leading to acccomplishment of their agenda. I'm especially disappointed that when they did have the chance to do something, be aggressive and put an end to this crap, between 2021 and 2023, when we had both houses and the White House, the old heads said, "Nah, too extreme, it would look too political."
There's too much nest feathering and fund raising and PAC money and too little attention being paid to the kind of effort it will take to pry the jackass out of the White House and land him in prison.

But that doesn't mean I would ever vote Republican.

If Democrats don't learn from and respond to the disappointment they've created, and the mistakes they are making, and don't want to hear the criticism, then this crap is going to go on forever. I'm only interested in a politician who is willing to sacrifice the comfy six fugure salaried job in Congress for the good of his or her constituents, instead of refusing to do something for which there might be a political cost. And we have several of those in office right now.
