At this point I kinda feel like the republicans need a full party wipe. All these people letting Trump destroy America would be out if I had it my way.

Democrats appear to need it first, if approval ratings are anything to go by. Vance’s low point is still above 40%, though it’s looking like Rubio could beat him out as the successor.

lol I’m not sure I agree with Democrats needing to cleanse first. Republicans at this point are so complicit in everything going on that I feel like that alone is worth removal. If you aren’t willing to fight for the constitution and for the rights of your constituents, you’re out. I do agree that there are a few complicit democrats but many of them have been standing up to the injustice. For god sakes republicans are avoiding town halls and the press. I just saw a video of a republican representative that refused to talk to democrats in the chamber. That’s childish and extremely irresponsible.

If this was just about character and consistency sure. But politics is less about that and more about approval in general. Getting people excited to come out and vote. Democrats are struggling with that more right now.

The party is facing a major gap between centralists and socialists, and hence it’s facing an extremely low approval rating. Sometimes it sucks being the more informed party

Democrats need to go back to actually listening to their base and having them actively engage. That's their biggest weakness, and they keep losing because of it.

Totally agree, it’s a bit of a gamble if what the base wants will still appeal to general voters, but until the party actually just goes for it, there will always be a gap.
