No, I'm not wishing for it......I believe we need two strong pro-American parties.....but the Democrats don't seem able to get out of their own way. They can't decide what their agenda is, what parts caused them the the Trump landslide.
They simply double down on losing.
1. "This is electoral death for Democrats. As they rage about Donald Trump, they’re doing nothing when it comes to rebuilding the party, not that I’m complaining.
2. They’ve lost the middle and working classes, which was already a death blow, as those voter blocs were the backbone of the Democratic Party for generations. Liberals opted to discard these people, who number in the tens of millions, for a smaller, more ideologically rigid, and wealthier sect that isn’t big enough to win elections.
3. What else could go wrong? How about immigrant citizens who are very much on the MAGA train? The shift has been seismic, and it’ll leave Democratic operatives shell-shocked. CNN’s Harry Enten broke down the numbers, and it’s astounding [emphasis mine]:
In 2020, foreign born Americans favored Democrats by 32%
In 2024/2025 they now favore Republicans by 8%
A 40 point swing against the Dems.
4. in 2020. David Shor, a self-described leftist, warned Democrats to stick with health care and not double down in immigration lunacy; there’s no wiggle room there. Support for amnesty and a pathway for citizenship among Hispanics has never really been popular."
5. A major problem for the party is the internal battle of whether to admit that they are Boshevik.
But Biden was there because the Democrat establishment didn't want to admit that the party is Communist/Socialist....so they had to hide Bernie.
"...cascading crisis around Biden — his infirmity, the crisis of confidence in the party it caused, his saddling of the party with a weak successor, his final, fatal extraction from her to promise not to break from him — wasn’t really Biden’s decision to run again. It had been the Democratic establishment’s desperation to stop Bernie Sanders and his movement from taking over the party in 2020, something they could only do by saddling themselves with a man whose political abilities many of them had little faith in."

For the longest time, the socialist backbone of the party will, I suspect, now become dominant. Remember when Bernie Sanders, Socialist/Communist won enough votes to get the nomination and establishment Democrats who don't want to be known as commies, gave extra votes to certain delegates and stole Bernie's nomination and gave it to Hillary? I belive that won't happen again.
