Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as “people of faith,” responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The “people of faith” label is given to those who identify with a recognized religion, such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism or Islam.
The study found that approximately 104 million people under the “people of faith” umbrella are not expected to vote this election, including 41 million born-again Christians and 32 million who regularly go to church.
Agreed on some points, but again, the details are important. Most dems do consistently vote for more beneficial policies, stronger social support structures, against tax cuts, etc. It needs to be understood exactly how our legislation gets passed, how a filibuster works, etc though. You cannot simply say “well, dems were in charge, so why wasn’t everything fixed?” without going into the details of what sorts of tools obstructionists have at their disposal. Details are critical if one wants to accurately understand, you can’t just stay at a big-picture view regardless of how tempting it is.
I do think the answer is grassroots, but try to remember, in a right-leaning society people won’t care as much about Palestinian children. That’s not a right-leaning position. The right-leaning position is to shrug your shoulders and callously go “not my people”. So it’s important to think about how to frame things in a way that will convince typical Americans, while acknowledging their biases.
My opinion of Democrat politicians was formed by observing the consequences of Clinton’s repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act (i.e. the 2008 Crash), who and how Barack Obama helped in the aftermath of that crash (major asset owners and financiers, unconditionally and by taking money away from the many which resulted in a decade were inequality in the US exploded and social mobility crashed to Latin America levels) and how Hilary Clinton sold herself very overtly to Finance (for example, being paid a cool half a million to give a speech to a handful of Goldman Sachs’ employees, which she did just at the start of her electoral campaign against Trump and almost certainly caused her to lose the election).
I’m sure some Democrat voters aren’t greedy sociopath assholes, almost certainly most of them, maybe even an overwhelming majority of them, but Democrat Politicians are mainly slippery sold-out sociopath snakes (with a few notable exceptions) who when it comes to anything but Moral Liberalism are almost as Rightwing as the Republicans and far to the Right of the rest of the World and as the Israeli Genocide is making painfully clear, even in the domain of Moral Liberalism for all their playacting of anti-racists who just want equal treatment for all, they’re de facto racist that support extreme violence if committed by those they see as a “western” (read: white) race against those they see as “lesser” races (Muslims, which is so fashionable do discriminate against these days in the West), same as the Republicans.
As shown by what they chose to do when the Republicans can’t actually block them, the Democrats claiming it’s the Republicans blocking them is often scapegoating the other side for they themselves not wanting to do something.
The Democrats do however have a much slicker and more heavily hypocrite Propaganda than the “modern” Republicans, which reminds me very much of the polished deceiver and hypocrite style of the Rightwing (not just New Labour but also the Tories) in the UK and even of the Upper Class there in general (in the real world the English Gentleman is not somebody who does the right thing, it’s somebody who projects the right appearance whilst doing what’s best for themselves without caring about the consequences for others - it’s a learned skillset for image management and deceiving others, not a moral compass)
