And the new radical extremes are only the beginning.
A recent poll showed current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who had worked in Cuba with the Marxist Venceremos Brigade trailing Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Only 24% of Los Angeles residents approve of the job that Bass is doing, which included the worst wildfires in the city’s history, while 47% disapprove.If disappointed voters replace Bass with an even more extreme version, that will be in line with what happened in New York City where a widely despised former Mayor Bill de Blasio was, after a one term break to make room for former Mayor Eric Adams, swapped out for Zohran Mamdani, who described him as a role model. Even only 100 days into his term, usually the political ‘honeymoon’ period, Mamdani’s approval rating is at only 43%. And the majority of New Yorkers believe that the city is headed in the wrong direction.
In Chicago, former Mayor Lori Lightfoot, widely hated by voters, was replaced with Mayor Brandon Johnson, who made Lightfoot seem responsible, civil and moderate. Johnson’s approval ratings have recently been in the twenties, but the extremist teachers’ union hack may well be replaced by someone even worse. Possibilities include Alderman Byron Sigcho Lopez who spoke in front of a burned American flag at a pro-terrorist rally, and would move the city even further leftward.
Democrats are in a downward spiral towards further extremes even as their poll ratings sink.
In Maine, Democrats may well find themselves stuck with Graham Platner, a rich kid pretending to be a fisherman, who boasted of being a Communist, had a Nazi tattoo and praised a Hamas attack. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim who called for abolishing ICE and ‘choking out’ political opponents, who claimed that many in Dearborn mourned Iran’s Jihadist leader, and who has been campaigning with Hasan Piker, a social media influencer who celebrated Hamas and mourned the fall of the USSR, is running neck and neck in the Democrat primary.
This is less of a reflection of the state of the country than of a party stuck with a base of extremists that is pushing into adopting wildly unpopular radical positions.
The party bet everything on two prongs, hating Trump and going far leftwards, but there’s no evidence that voters are responding to either one. President Trump’s approval ratings may be low but even CNN polls are showing that Democrats are trailing Republicans in party approval ratings. Democrat election victories remain largely confined to blue areas and special elections.
Meanwhile, Democrats are rapidly mainstreaming calls to abolish ICE and support for Hamas, as if there were any backing for these destructive agendas outside the farthest of the far Left.
Unfortunately that now includes their own party.
Even when Democrats run as moderates, they soon pivot to their extreme agenda items.
In Virginia, newly elected Gov. Abigail Spanberger, chosen by the bedroom communities of Northern Virginia, who won by pretending to be a moderate, had her approval rating sink after she mistook the victory as a mandate for supporting illegal alien criminals, forcing men into women’s locker rooms and gerrymandering the state to eliminate the political opposition.
Zohran Mamdani, hyped as the new leftist face of the party, is already down to a 43% approval rating into the first 100 days of his political ‘honeymoon’ as most residents believe the city is on the wrong track. But Mamdani wasn’t elected by New Yorkers, but a minority coalition between urban leftists and Muslim occupants, while native New Yorkers mostly sat out the election.
That larger trend of voters sitting out elections in places has worsened extremism
Democrats aren’t winning over voters, they’re convincing voters who might otherwise support them that there’s no point in even bothering because there are no good choices anymore. Gerrymandering provides them with political control while eliminating even the illusion of democracy or choice leading to corrupt one-party states and cities in a state of freefall. --->READ MORE HERE
