Democrats and Greenland

There has been some gnashing of teeth on social media of polling that indicates that, despite mayhem in America, Democrat's favourability polling is quite low - lower than Republicans!:

 

But - surely that reflects dissatisfaction within Democrat voters with the loss of obvious and strong leadership in the party.  (It is really surprising that no one has risen from within Congress to be the obvious charismatic face of the party, above the current oldsters who feel worn out.)

So, what's more important is actual voting intention, and that looks better:

 

And polling on Greenland is not looking good at all:

WASHINGTON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Just 17% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's efforts to acquire Greenland, and substantial majorities of Democrats and Republicans oppose using military force to annex the island, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The two-day poll, which concluded on Tuesday, showed widespread concerns over Trump's threats to NATO ally Denmark over Greenland, which has been a Danish territory for centuries.

So, why don't the Democrats organise themselves to announce this:   "There is no point in Donald Trump forcing a takeover of Greenland militarily.   Such a step would be repulsive to the vast majority of the American public, and the world.   Democrats, on regaining power, would immediately repudiate it, and completely reverse the move.   So why waste your time even threatening it.  Act in accordance with the will of the American people and international law, and simply negotiate if you want additional bases or facilities on Greenland.  That has always been the sensible way to address any security concerns."
