    Maybe citizens shouldn’t have to register to vote, eh? But we can’t have that, it would be democratic.

  2. Democrats are a centrist party in an age of hyper partisanship. It sucks because the formula of heavily regulated capitalism works really well, we just don’t seem to have enough people interested in it.

    …caused by Republican politicians that try to make it as difficult, inconvenient, and discouraging as possible to register to vote.

  4. Honestly, I’m not sure if I would advise fresh registrations to choose a party if they are only voting in the main election (and not the primaries). It’d be slightly (and I mean *slightly*) harder for a regime (not pointing fingers) to algorithmically block voters of the opposing party if they go into every election undeclared/independent.

    The Democrats will likely splinter into two parties, one led Mamdani/AOC and the other led by Newsom/Pritzker. See what happened today in the Minneapolis mayor’s race.

  6. Corporate democrats take money from United Health just as much as corporate Republicans. They break laws and support dirty cops just like Republicans do. People are just now seeing that the establishment democrats aren’t much better than the republicans. . The NYC mayors race will be interesting.

  7. It turns out that standing for nothing except grifting billions of dollars in donations is not in fact a good strategy for a political apparatus.

    If I remember, the general gist of this article is just complaining that the Democrats aren’t paying anybody as much money as Charlie Kirk is being paid to get people registered. The thing is that the majority of people who are registered to vote aren’t registered through a party.

  9. I really wish they told us the rate of new registrations since the election. Doesn’t the way the data is grouped (e.g. current totals since 2020) mostly tell us a lot of people signed up to vote for Trump in 2024? If so that has already been widely discussed.

    I may be missing some nuance there – but feels like they have the answer to “who has registered more new voters since Jan 2025” and chose not to include it.

    People don’t want to register as democrats because they fear becoming targets of the fascist regime.

  11. If I recall correctly, there are something like 15 million more registered Democrats than Republicans. If all of them voted, I assume they would always have the majority.

    Democratic party, I’m not aware of such a thing. Perhaps you were referring to the near unopposed Christo-fascism party currently in power. Or perhaps you were referring to the Corporate pandering party that claims to oppose them. Either way, there’s not many parties that actually represent “democratic” voters.

  13. Is this being reported through reputable news organizations? Or just glorified GOP propaganda outlets? Until this has been verified by a trustworthy source, I’m just going to assume it’s all made up.

    It’s not a Democratic “voter registration crisis”, that’s absolute bullshit.

    It’s the Republican Party engaging in *rampant* voter suppression, which they’ve been doing for *decades*.

    Let’s identify the problem correctly, and blame the guilty party here — the GOP/MAGA.
