Democrats amp up infighting and 'unhinged petulance' as approval rating plummets | Opinion
Opinion by Ingrid Jacques, USA TODAY • 2h

Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman recently observed the following about the state of his Democratic Party: “A sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance. It only makes Trump look more presidential and restrained. We’re becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to − and it may not be the winning message.”
 

Fetterman posted that message on social media after Democrats’ embarrassing show of “resistance” during President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress this month.

It’s a stinging rebuke to make about one’s own party, but Fetterman is absolutely right. Democrats have struggled to move forward as a unified party with a unified vision ever since Trump’s win in November.

Americans have noticed Democrats' lack of unity and a coherent party platform. Two polls released over the weekend carry a major warning for Democrats – if they choose to listen.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
