Democrats criticized for 'quiet part out loud' following alarm over Trump agenda

Those who believe the Democratic Party's voter registration operations were a "partisan scam" from the beginning are criticizing an internal memo that shows alarm within the party over their "nonpartisan" voter registration efforts that could benefit former President Trump.

According to the Washington Post, Democrats nationwide are growing more worried about the support Trump is receiving from traditionally reliable demographics, as Fox News reported.

Response from Donors

Additionally, party donors have been arguing over an internal memo that questions the party's strategy of utilizing nonprofits to register unregistered voters, raising concerns that it could benefit Trump.

"Indeed, if we were to blindly register nonvoters and get them on the rolls, we would be distinctly aiding Trump’s quest for a personal dictatorship," the memo explained.

It also cast doubt on the well-known Democrat voter registration push that is known to have resulted in favorable results in previous elections.

The memo argues that Democrats should focus their registration efforts only in "specific, heavily pro-Biden populations."

The Post Explanation

The Washington Post explained that "the rise in Trump support among nonregistered voters has run up against a long-held Democratic policy priority of growing the voter rolls."

Certain political analysts assert that the Washington Post article demonstrates that certain purportedly non-partisan Democratic registration efforts are, in reality, devoted exclusively to registering Democrats.

"Left-wing strategists accidentally said the quiet part out loud: their ‘non-partisan’ left-wing voter registration efforts have always been highly partisan operations designed to help Democrats," Jason Snead, executive director of Honest Elections Project, told Fox News Digital.

"This admission raises grave questions about other programs the left also claims are 'non-partisan,' including President Biden’s executive order using taxpayers’ money to mobilize liberal voters. The press should take note of and remember this rare moment of honesty from the left the next time they cry ‘voter suppression.'"

"Democrats donors are now getting memos telling them to stop funding voter registration nonprofits because unregistered voters lean towards Trump," investigative researcher Parker Thayer posted on X in response to the report. "It’s all a partisan scam," he added.

Timing of Memo

The memo is being issued at a time when recent polling data indicates that Biden is losing support from key demographic groups that have historically voted for Democrats after registering with the party.

This year's Gallup polling indicates that the Democratic Party has maintained its smallest lead over the Republican Party among Black voters since the polling began in 1999. Furthermore, the Democrats' 12-point advantage over the Republicans among Hispanic voters is at its lowest level since 2011.

Additionally, young adults' support for the Democratic Party is at its lowest level in nearly two decades, according to polling.
