  • While more Americans have negative than positive views of both the Democratic and Republican parties, net favorability is higher for the Republican Party than for the Democratic Party (-17 vs. -26)
  • Republican Party favorability has been higher than the Democratic Party's since soon after the 2024 election; for the seven years before then, the Democratic Party generally was viewed more favorably than the Republican Party

A lot more Democrats that currently hate their party than Republicans who hate theirs.

There's definitely something to that.  My hatred of the Democrats is almost as much as my hatred for the Republicans, for entirely different reasons (Republicans for the buttfucking they're giving the Republic, and Democrats for standing by and letting them do it).  But I'll vote for Dems 100% of the time these days.  I never used to be a straight ticket voter.  But then, until the last decade or so, one party had never gone down the "be full authoritarian and end the Republic" road, so...there's that.

They're acting like controlled opposition, it's infuriating

I like this tactic. It has the imprimatur of an official hearing by a government in exile. Yeah, it shows they don't have the power to hold hearings while showing what they could do *if* they had power. It's kind of striking and, dare I say, subversive.

Maybe it's just stupid and performative. I dunno. It kinda works for me.

It's obviously performative, but that's a substantial part of the job. This is good stuff and they should do more of it.

My congresscritter, yay! She's pretty good on this stuff and doesn't take a lot of shit - that said, you'd be hard-pressed to find a safer seat, which does make it easier. Glad she's doing this. "Shadow Government" is a good definition and one common in parliamentary systems.
