Demonrats are the worst. What I find today is that they just mindlessly regurgitate talking points from the propaganda media, and most of those are just outright lies that make no logical sense. They lack critical thinking skills and do no research on anything for themselves. And lately they can’t even articulate anything meaningful and just resort to cursing and disrespectful outbursts. With a significant portion of our country on antidepressants, it seems to align with these Demonrat numbers. The truth of the matter is their lives are their punishment, as they’re usually broke, depending on the government, on drugs, immoral, unethical, perverted… which bears out in their party disintegrating and being rejected by the rest of the nation. And we’re a neo-pagan nation, so that is telling of just how far left they have swung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With national approval ratings for Democrats at an all-time low, the party is searching for solutions. Wyoming Democrats attending a \u201cGather For Good\u201d rally opposing Rep. Hageman on Wednesday offered few clear answers as to how their party should move forward.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A group of Democrats gathered Wednesday at the Albany County Courthouse along Grand Avenue in Laramie, Wyoming, on Wednesday to protest President Donald Trump and his policies. The group then walked to the Laramie Plains Civic Center to become part of a raucus crowd for a town hall held by U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman.

LARAMIE \u2014 National approval ratings for the Democratic Party are at an all-time low<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wyoming Democrats attending a \u201cGather For Good\u201d rally<\/a> opposing President Donald Trump and U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman on Wednesday offered few clear answers as to how their party should move forward, beyond speaking out against the administration and Republicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s one of the things in the Democratic Party are trying to grapple with,\u201d said Wyoming Democratic Party National Committeeman Lucas Fralick, who\u2019s running for state party chair this summer. \u201cI do think in the Wyoming party, one of the things that we\u2019re definitely looking towards is to show up more, be present where people are going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanner Ewalt, communications director of the Wyoming Democratic Caucus, said it\u2019s understandable that some Democrats feel frustrated with their party right now, but the answer moving forward is to make their voices heard and let Republicans, who control the executive branch and hold majorities in the U.S. Senate and House, know how they feel about issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although most Democrats aren\u2019t happy with President Donald Trump\u2019s policies, it hasn\u2019t led the party to coalesce around its own leaders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In new polls released by NBC News <\/u><\/a>and CNN<\/u><\/a> this week, the Democratic Party has reached its lowest approval rating ever recorded: 27% and 29%, respectively. In both cases, these declines came about because many Democrats now say they disapprove of their own leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s not much positivity to point to in the Democratic Party these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three living Democratic ex-presidents and former Vice President Kamala Harris have been mostly quiet since Trump took office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congressional leadership hasn\u2019t been inspiring either, with many Democrats mad at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer\u2019s decision to acquiesce to Republicans\u2019 recent government funding bill<\/u><\/a> to avoid a shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scene Of The Rally<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the Wednesday rally that started at the Albany County Courthouse and ended at the Laramie Civic Center where Hageman was holding a town hall later that night<\/u><\/a> was to engage people about what\u2019s going on around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s where the Democrats need to get back to,\u201d said David Wilhelms, organizer of the rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilhelms, who participated in his first political campaign in 1968, compared the current state of the Democratic Party to where it was in the 1980s under former presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fralick said one of the Democrats\u2019 biggest downfalls in Wyoming is that they’re non-existent at times. Showing up for Hageman\u2019s rally, he said, was incredibly critical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to be there,\u201d he said. \u201cEvents like this, we\u2019re here, we\u2019re not going away. That\u2019s going to be a big step for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Leaderless\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Donal O\u2019Toole said he\u2019ll get a better idea about what the party should do when he attends a \u201cWhere We Go From Here\u201d with Bernie Sanders event in Denver on Friday, featuring U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think at the moment, in terms of leadership in Washington, pretty leaderless,\u201d O\u2019Toole said. \u201cIn terms of events like this, it\u2019s going to come from the grassroots and how we need to respond to this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mikhail Shevelenko, who considers himself an independent, voted for the first time last November. He believes the Democrats aren\u2019t effective because they don\u2019t have a consistent issue to rally around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have no core base that you can rely on anymore, and then you leave and those people that really depend on you feel abandoned and mistrust on a national level,\u201d he said, \u201cand don\u2019t want to give you your vote and don\u2019t want to have you be their voice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Path Forward<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Justin Attebury had a different perspective and argued that the recent budget debacle was exactly what Democrats needed to reinvigorate themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo that overall, it gives them a little bit more energy to do the right thing,\u201d he said. \u201cEven if that opposition isn\u2019t accepted, if it isn\u2019t practiced and it isn\u2019t energized, then it doesn\u2019t have a chance to become more than what it is right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the protest signs at the rally compared Trump to Adolf Hitler and called him a fascist. For Andi Berry, a Republican, this isn\u2019t necessarily the approach she believes will make the Democratic Party successful again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d like us to be working more in the center,\u201d she said. \u201cWe need to remember that we\u2019re all neighbors and all love each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jillian Walford agrees and said she wants to see both parties work together rather than the current status quo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
