Majority of Democrats Turn on Party Leaders Amid Mounting Discontent: Poll

Nearly two-thirds of Democratic voters say their party needs new leaders as frustration grows over its priorities and plummeting approval ratings, a new poll shows.

Sixty-two percent of Democrats say that the party's leaders "should be replaced with new people," compared with just 30 percent of Republicans who said the same about their party leaders, according to the Reuters/Ipsos survey published Thursday.
 
Nearly half of Democrats—49 percent—are "unsatisfied" with party leaders, while 41 percent say they are "satisfied" and 10 percent are unsure, the poll found.

The poll was released on the same day that news broke of intraparty backlash against Democratic National Committee chairman Ken Martin, with DNC members telling Politico that Martin is "weak," "whiny," and "invisible." Earlier this week, powerful American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten quit her DNC role in protest of the party's direction under Martin, leading Rep. Mark Pocan (D., Wis.) to tweet that he would "love to have a day go by" without the DNC doing "something embarrassing & off message."

So what?  What the members of the party want is immaterial to the leadership!

I'll reckon the "new people" will be comprised largely of young'uns reared up and conditioned to be even more communist than the geezers they're replacing...

Actually, their best political move would be to embrace the likes of Fetterman, and return to the old 'blue dog' Democrat concept. I'm not so sure that their large contingent of mentally ill anti-white racists would go along with that, though, and it would cause a split in the Party. On one side the relatively reasonable blue dogs, on the other, the raving lunatic contingent. I don't see their 'big tent' surviving much longer. Self destructive hate for everyone else is not an enduring basis on which to build a coalition.
