Zone1 Democrats: What Is Going Well For You?

[SweetSue92]

I've noticed the same thing playing out for years now. The Right—flawed as it may be—usually focuses on issues: jobs, inflation, border security, etc. Meanwhile, a lot of the Left’s energy still seems aimed at Trump himself, like he's some kind of political solar eclipse they can’t stop staring at.

But here’s the problem: regular people care more about rent, groceries, and paychecks than about whether Trump said something spicy on Truth Social. When the focus is always on Trump instead of real-world issues, it starts to sound like you’ve got nothing else to offer—and that’s how people start tuning you out.

If the Left wants to win people over, it’s got to stop making everything about Trump and start showing folks how their policies help everyday Americans. You don’t win hearts and minds by shouting about the orange guy—you win by proving you care about the person struggling to fill their gas tank.

It's the last gasp of Woke, and many liberals just cannot give it up. The superiority is too alluring. First we were all -ists and -phobes, etc. Then Trump came on the scene and he is the embodiment of both Satan and Hitler, and anyone who voted for him is also an evil cult member.

That's it, that's all they have.

Threads like this prove it.

(What's really a generational killer for them is that youth HATE the Dems right now. They are fundamentally uncool and finally the kids see it!)

Trump's unthinking hateful actions on those issues generates the hate.

If your only contribution is "Trump bad," then I’m not sure you’re here to discuss the issues—just to vent.

Totally your call, but this thread was about what the Left has going for it, not what Trump has going against him. If all roads lead back to Trump, it kind of proves the point: the conversation stops being about policy and starts sounding more like a grudge.

At some point, folks are gonna want more than a one-liner. They’re gonna want a plan.

I understand it's too complex for you, so you are free to think anything you want.

Ah, there it is—the drive-by insult. Always the fallback when substance runs low.

If it’s too “complex” to ask what your side is offering the American people, then I’m guessing I’ve already got my answer.

But hey—if that’s all you’ve got, I’ll let you get the last word. It seems pretty important to you.

On one hand, this works for me. If the dems are completely broken, this increases the chances of MAGA winning the next two elections (mid terms and 2028) which I think are needed to really force deep the changes we want to make to America.

On the other hand, the dems are the other party. They are part of America, and them being completely fucked up, is America being partially fucked up.


I guess ideally, the dems stay completely dysfunctional for 3-5 years, long enough for us to literally MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,


and then start to come to their senses and start giving... reasoned and who knows, maybe someday, once again, LOYAL OPPOSITION.

Here, I'll give you an example:

The Trump administration has brought illegal border crossings almost to zero, and it deporting criminal illegals and others who are here fraudulently. I wish the Republicans would work with him to make sure businesses don't hire illegals as well. Also, Trump wants birthright citizenship to end.

Your ideas on immigration here, and how the Democrats will sell it:

I would also like to see Republicans codify an immigration policy in which no asylum will be granted at our border, for any reason. All asylum and refugee requests must come from a US Embassy in any other country but the United States.

We've seen that abuse of asylum charity occurs when there is a lack of Statutory authority to control who enters this country and under what conditions.

Democrat voters have been suckered into backing the hatred harbored by their leaders, hatred for Democracy getting the way of the DNC's true globalist agenda. It's not even the DNC. It's the New World Order, which every president since Bush Sr has endorsed except Trump. That's like refusing to swear allegiance to a mafia crime family. The rest will demonize you and put hits out on you in any way they can. And anyone who wants to stay "good" with the family is required to echo the hate.

I think it's time for this too.

Oh.

So you think it's moral for illegal immigrants to bust into our nation, taking services due to POOR AMERICANS and their children?

If you have a case for that, make it, rather than erroneously quoting the Bible. Note: you're not Jesus, so are not the one who separates sheeps and goats.

NOTE TO THE BOARD:

One Democrat cited Trump and then called me foul names. The other one apparently thinks she's Jesus and we're all -ists and -phobes.

Any other Democrats? What you got

She wasn't trying to start a discussion on immigration, she was giving you an example on how to post something that is "going well for you".


And of course, you failed to get that, or at least pretended to fail to get it.

Don't worry, Trump can't run in 2028. Either Vance or Rubio will become the next "worse than Hitler" nominee.

Republicans will pay a price in 2026
Whoever runs in 2028 will be another Trump

Trump always screws up …..this will be no different

Dems are sitting back and allowing Trump to be Trump

Holding a ruling party accountable for their actions is a time honored means to take power



So far, so good

Now you are being willfully obtuse.

This is three now, three Democrats who can articulate NOTHING other than "BUT TRUMP!"

Man, this is a generational loss for you....
