that and the democrats constant belittling of their voter base
How did Harris or Biden constantly belittle the base?
that and the democrats constant belittling of their voter base
This is the only thread I've made since the election. Nobody forced you to click.
Bullshit
Aaand that's why maga is a real political force now... It's just not a realistic stance. As it stands right now there's real possibility that maga could to make it legally impossible to get reparations for that much...do you really believe that black Americans as the ONLY GROUP seeking settlement to the tune of 20 trillion will somehow garner empathy/sympathy support for that much money exclusively for us? Again what percentage of black Americans actually demand it?which is why we'll either sit out and vote republican/independent again in 2028
Democrats need to stop the weirdo shit like pushing transgenderism and stop letting the country be flooded by millions of illegals. Stop the sanctuary city bullshit. Just get back to common sense policies that all Americans can agree on.
Lol u wanna garner sympathy and plead. MLK tried that...it doesn't workAaand that's why maga is a real political force now... It's just not a realistic stance.

This is interesting:
The reason Republicans are winning over so many young people is because the right invests hours and hours, everyday, every month, every year in audience-building among its influencer class. We can't compete by sticking our candidates on an episode one time in October of an election year. Democrats need to embrace YEAR-ROUND progressive media (either directly political or political-adjacent) if we want to compete.
Post another thread I have made since the election and I will send you $50.
Or tell us who forced you to click and we will tell you how to free yourself from being that man’s bitch.
What MLK did got you your voting rights.Lol u wanna garner sympathy and plead. MLK tried that...it doesn't work
Maybe you could make a case against Biden's handling of the border but what did they say or do with regard to transgender people to bring this on?
But what specifically did they do wrong and what specifically should the next candidate do differently?
This is exactly the kind of modern Democratic response that will keep them out of the White House for quite some time now.It’s crazy that people respond with things like “Stop it with the gay agenda crap!”
That’s just something you care about, that’s not why they lost to Trump.
The question is not “what would make the Democratic Party perfect for you?” The question is what do they need to change to WIN.
Two circus acts that nobody should take serious outside of a freak show.Not pander to LGBTQRSTUV by giving them cabinet positions?

Have Democrats learned their lesson? There’s reason for hope.
By Katrina vanden Heuvel
November 7, 2017
In the run-up to the 2016 election, Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) dismissed the possibility that Donald Trump's popularity with rural and working-class voters spelled trouble for the Democratic ticket. "For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia," he proclaimed, reflecting the prevailing attitude within the party establishment. "And you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin."
One year after the election, it's not clear that Democrats have learned their lesson. Many have deluded themselves into believing that Russian interference, and not the party's abysmal failure to win over the working class, was the primary culprit in Hillary Clinton's crushing defeat. Clinton herself has pointed fingers at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former FBI director James B. Comey, while mocking former vice president Joe Biden's suggestion that her campaign did not offer a vision for the middle class. But even as Democratic leaders have cleared the wreckage and begun to rebuild, there has not been a full and honest reckoning with what actually happened in 2016 or how the party can avoid the same outcome in the 2018 midterms.
In the absence of an official inquiry, a group of Democratic and progressive activists last week published "Autopsy: The Democratic Party in Crisis." While the 33-page report covers a range of issues, it offers a particularly harsh indictment of the party's self-defeating attempts to simultaneously please its billionaire backers and the working-class voters who make up the Democratic base. "Corporate domination over the party's agenda — and, perhaps more importantly, the perception of corporate control over the party's agenda — rendered the Democrats' messaging on economic issues ideologically rudderless and resulted in a decline in support among working-class people across racial lines," the autopsy states. "We live in a time of unrest and justified cynicism towards those in power; Democrats will not win if they continue to bring a wonk knife to a populist gunfight." ...
If they hope to avoid a repeat of the bludgeoning they suffered in 2016, Democrats will have to work harder to establish a clear, compelling vision of what they are for beyond opposition to Trump. They have to build and expand a cross-class, cross-racial coalition of voters in every part of the country. They have to demonstrate, through action, that they care more about defending the interests of workers than rewarding big donors or winning over supposedly moderate Republicans who have burned them in the past. Trump’s plutocratic agenda is a massive betrayal of the working-class voters who once believed he would fight for them. But it would be a tragic mistake for Democrats to assume, as they did a year ago, that Trump’s shortcomings alone will carry them to victory.
Democrats did not change and history repeated itself.
What needs to change now?

You know when you vote republican or independent you have every right and SHOULD BE demanding the same things from them that you demand from the Democrats. That's the whole point of voting right?which is why we'll either sit out and vote republican/independent again in 2028
The democrats never thought they could beat the republicans. The democratic constituencies wanted a tax cut and so does the political spine of the Republican Party. The muscle of the Republican Party wants economic gains only for them. Do you see the dissonance? Your economic gains are at the expense of the economic elite. White people will always be convinced that someone picked their pockets. They’re dumb. What we have to do is act like we aren’t.They are too arrogant to get a new strategy. They figured Biden would easily defeat any Republican outside of Trump.
They didn’t think Trump would run again so they had no incentive to actually do anything the last four years.
Since Trump can’t run in 2028 they not gonna change , they’ll just chalk it up to a bad matchup and keep it moving.
we looked to the people who labeled us 3/5 differently than the folks who gave us the 13,14,15th amendment. They’re the same people working towards the same goal: Cheap fucking labor.This is absolutely correct. Democrats invented the damn internet but Republicans have owned it. How many spaces online are littered with red pillers, incels, the Andrew Tates and Joe Rogans of the world. It’s everywhere. They invested time into the medium to get their messaging out. Democrats have to figure out how to do the same.
Who gave them the label Hispanic? Are they okay with it? If you can bow to imaginary lines and concepts, you will bow to the real world pressures.A Hispanic would say this.

They’re real to you. They aren’t real to people with power. Those lines are just bars like the ones in prison.The "imaginary lines" are real bruh.

So when a man says he’s a woman, I’m not going to argue with that. What he feels is real to him.
How many folks booked their tickets out of here? How many folks left the country 6 months before the 2016 election?
Folks won’t leave because they need to be physically close to power.
The fear of the unknown and the narrative that God wouldn’t give anything we can’t handle are a good pair of things to believe in.Everyone draws lines.
People Won't leave because the fear the unknown and it's hard to leave the comforts of your current situation.
