I've found the opposite. People in a hurry to tell everyone why he's terrible and they won't vote for him, unsolicited.
Personally, I'm just cheering any D who is fighting. Newsom, Pritzker, Mamdani, AOC, Bernie, TX D's. To encourage other Ds (many of whom are silent) to do the same.

Mamadani won NYC mayor Dem primary & Jeffries & Schumer won’t endorse him.
Omar Fateh won the Minneapolis mayor Dem primary & Tim Walz won’t endorse him.
Bowman & Bush were Dem incumbents & the Party let AIPAC primary them.
"vote blue no matter who"🙄
Any wonder the party has 26% approval rating?

The boomers' eternal grip on US politics has warped people's sense of age and politics but Clinton was two years younger than Mamdani when he got elected as governor or Arkansas. Relatively young people used to get elected to this level of office all the time!

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
