Democrats? Hello?

[LordBrownTrout]

It's not going to happen because third parties are always fringe weirdos.

The reason why the two major parties endure is that they are effective coalitions of interest groups.

If the Democrats want to prosper, they need to pry off some constituency groups from the GOP. Rural voters, who are just as poor as urban voters in many cases, would probably be a good place to start.

The two parties really are quite worthless. Both have put this nation in debt and war after after war. Pathetic.

Tick, tick, tick.

Democrats are failing against Trump. We need a new generation in 2026

"It’s why the absence of true oppositional leadership has been deafening. After spending an entire campaign cycle naming Trump as an existential threat to our democracy and rule of law – which he is – the party’s leadership has folded at the first chance to wield the power they have, revealing hypocrisy and cowardice."

I'm no expert on this, but I'd imagine that a clear message needs to emerge in the next few months, and I see no signs of that. And isn't hoping for "a new generation" this close to the mid terms a little wishful thinking?

When your party selects David Hogg as Vice chair and Baby Crockett to deliver their racist garbage it’s “Houston, we have a problem.”

yep...you would think with the horrible approval ratings they both have they would keep their fucking mouths shut....

As James Carville said, "It's the economy stupid.". If the economy keeps improving, the commiecrats are going to have one hell of an up hill climb.

The economy is declining.

The MAGAs are creating a truly rich environment for the Democrats to run on. I am sure that will develop.

The answer to the OP is Democrats are getting rich under Republican policies ... and Republicans getting rich under Democrat policies ...

The Democrats probably figure they don't have to do much except let Trump flounder around. Midterms almost always break for the out-of-power party.... i.e., 2022, 2018, 2014, 2010, 2006.

This seems to be what they are counting on (Trump floundering and/or failing). But that leaves them with nothing at all if voters end up being pretty happy with Trump's initiatives. So, it's a risky strategy to have there own success dependent on Trump failing - rather than playing offense.

If the Democrats want to prosper, they need to pry off some constituency groups from the GOP. Rural voters, who are just as poor as urban voters in many cases, would probably be a good place to start.

They would also need to regain important groups where they lost significant and very important ground - like the youth vote.

The economy is declining.

And you hope that continues.
Right?

 

[Mac1958]

What else you think they should be doing?

Truth be told, I don't know. I did see Pete and AOC/Bernie, and it's good they're staying in the public eye. But the vibe I'm getting -- and this is just me -- is that the party really doesn't have an identity right now.

The public has the attention span of a gnat, so it seems to me the smartest thing to do is to come up (as a group) with two or three clear and focused ideas that they pound away on everytime there's a microphone in their face.

The Dems have hurt themselves with the border and cultural issues, the public probably blames them for the inflation, and I don't know if that gets turned around quickly. Yes, their biggest strength is probably Trump, but I wouldn't want to lean on that.

It looks like the Dems are trying to move away from the old guard and replace them with a young group.

The question is whether the new young group seems TOO young.

 

[candycorn]

Yes. And by the midterms it will be better than ever. In the midterms the only message the democraps will have is
1) Trump is a racist
2) Trump is a Nazi
3) Trump eats newborn pandas

Good luck with that. It didn't work for the 2024 election. And Trump isn't running in the midterms.

Ok where will the DJIA be?

Perhaps you retards on the demented LEFT should drop the Marxist stupidity and renounce COMMUNISM.

I DARE YOU TO.

Perhaps you magaturd populist scum should stop lying 24/7.

It is YOU Marxist contaminated fools that are liars.
Marxists LIE like normal people BREATHE.

The days are going by here, the mid terms (usually a good time for the opposing party) are inching closer, and I don't know if I've ever seen one of the "major" parties this shy, meek and quiet. I'm seeing absolutely no clear, strong, focused message coming from the party.

Is the Democratic Party 2026 strategy going to be to point at the GQP and hope that's enough? I really don't think that's a great idea. What's going on?

I know that at least 75% of the responses to this question will be trolling from the Right, but if anyone has anything constructive to identify, that would be appreciated.

Until the disaster administration 2.0 gets booted into obscurity, there's no serious candidate I can see for democrats.

That said, a reckoning needs to take place to restore decorum, whether by policy or blood.

It's a lot easier to lower standards than to raise them.

I'd love to be wrong, but we sure seem like we're headed in one direction. If I thought for a moment that we had a populace that cared, I'd feel differently.

I envision a whole slew of investigations and laws starting in 2026, and enforcement of existing laws.

The question is whether the new young group seems TOO young.

There are many younger people who are not ideological radicals. If the two I mentioned are their leaders then the Democrats have a serious problem. Younger people tend to be more rigid and demanding of acceptance of their ideology and philosophy thinking that everything they could ever know they already know and they are right on all issues and everyone else should agree.

OTOH, Schumer, Pelosi, and others are way too old now and need to go. But who do they have? People like Buttigied, another entitlement-minded gay person? Newson who ruined California? Hakeem Jeffries the racist? Swalwell? Schiff?

The way I see it is that your party has veered way far left towards Marxism and Communism because younger people bought into the lies of those belief systems where if they taxed the "rich" enough and embraced all cultures who are poor and uneducated and of all sexual persuasions they would be holier than all and can bask in the glory of leisure, diversity, equity, and inclusion which by the way is copying Christianity and using the same fear and guilt tactics. In short, The Democrats have become a cult.

But "we" elected him. He's a symptom. A result.

What does that say about "us"?
