unruffled

Democrats have struggled to answer basic questions about their policies because to do so would expose the fact that the party is deeply out of step with its base. Indeed, the Democratic Party line continues to be unequivocal support for Israel, despite the fact that a recent Quinnipiac University poll found that a whopping 77 percent of Democrats believe it is committing genocide in Gaza. The Democrats also still seem deeply uncomfortable criticizing America’s billionaire class, despite the fact that another recent poll found that 54 percent of liberal Democrats don’t believe billionaires should even exist. A recent poll of registered Dems found that a vast majority view Bernie Sanders favorably (he is more popular than AOC, Chuck Schumer, and Gavin Newsom and, according to another poll, second only to the Pope and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in national popularity) but, as far as can be discerned, the Democratic Party leadership views him as a meddlesome pariah to be diverted and quashed at every turn.
