Rx for the Democrats

[Independent thinker]

This is getting a little fucking silly. Now, everywhere I look, I see article titles like "Dems Searching for Answers After Electoral Catastrophe"

Really?

This should be very easy. Now that the party is lying in a steaming puddle of goo, it has nowhere to go but up. And all it will take is two (2) steps:

Step One
Drop the whole destructive Political Correctness/Identity Politics fiasco NOW. Stop dividing Americans into little pieces and pitting them against each other. Stop screaming and intimidating and punishing people for saying what they think. Stop ruining family businesses for refusing to bake a fucking CAKE. Stop deplatforming conservative voices on college campuses. Stop pretending there are 58 (or whatever the number is now) genders. Stop having flamboyant transsexuals read books to parents' young children in class. Apologize for terms like "Toxic Masculinity" and "Cultural Appropriation". You blew it. This was stupid from the start. Fucking DROP IT.

Step Two
Focus like a fucking laser beam on the Middle Class (assuming it isn't too late, and it may be). No, not the Black Middle Class or the Brown Middle Class or the Purple Middle Class or the Gay Middle Class. The AMERICAN MIddle Class. Drop the fucking hyphenations. Come up with some NEW IDEAS that fit a rapidly changing and more competitive global economy. Modify and streamline existing ideas like Unions, Vocational Schools and Retirement Plans. I swear it wouldn't be that difficult.

Anyone who was here before 2016 knows that I was considered evil by the LEFTIES here because I was screaming this every fucking day. I had "Political Correctness Derangement Syndrome". I was called every name in the book and squabbled with every lefty on the board over it. Turns out I was right.

Shell-Shocked Democrats Stumbling For Answers After Loss To Donald Trump

The finger-pointing among Democrats intensified Thursday, with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) accusing the party of abandoning the working class.

They aren't capable of doing that. Orange man bad.

Well, he kind of is, after all.

Would you even want Donald Trump as the principal of your kids' school?

Probably. Why wouldn't I? I sure as hell don't want the leftists teaching my kids.

Any piece of shit, over any leftist, then.

I like the moments of honesty.

You're in a cult.

The cult is those who let boys use girls bathrooms, play girl's sports, and change in front of girls in locker rooms, have drag queens read books to kindergartners, refuse to tell parents that their kids are transgenders, etc.

Yes, that happens all the time, I keep seeing it... said nobody. This is the con. This is how the GOP gets you to vote against your own, economic self interests. New year, new boogeyman. Same general con for 40+ years.

Mac is seeing more clearly than he has ever seen…

I haven't changed my position on anything.

I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog.

Well, 2026 and 2028 will be easier because it is now the GOP that has to get things done. Every bit of bad news is their fault now.

Step One
Drop the whole destructive Political Correctness/Identity Politics fiasco NOW. Stop dividing Americans into little pieces and pitting them against each other. Stop screaming and intimidating and punishing people for saying what they think. Stop ruining family businesses for refusing to bake a fucking CAKE.

If I could ask you a question.... Are you talking about just for the purpose of winning elections or fundamentally changing? I can see the dems doing the former. The latter? Well...

What "little pieces" were pitted against each other by the democrats in this election?

Step Two
Focus like a fucking laser beam on the Middle Class (assuming it isn't too late, and it may be). No, not the Black Middle Class or the Brown Middle Class or the Purple Middle Class or the Gay Middle Class. The AMERICAN MIddle Class. Drop the fucking hyphenations.

Seriously....the first time I ever heard words like "black middle class" and "brown middle class" and "gay middle class" is in your post right here. If the Dems were tossing those phrases around, I must have missed it.

Come up with some NEW IDEAS that fit a rapidly changing and more competitive global economy.

Sure...no problem. Oh you mean like embracing globalization? Yeah...that is a non-starter. The blob convinced mutt and jeff that globalization is out to get them when The biggest beneficiary to globalization is the middle income American consumer (who is presumably gay, straight, white, brown or black). I am sending a care package to an old friend of mine in Tennessee this weekend. She lives alone now due to a divorce and isn't used to it. So I put together come cocoa, a mug, some peppermint sticks, coffees, BBW lotions, etc... I think I spent $7 total outside of the BBW items. Why? A mug made in some chinese ghetto was on the shelf at a dollar general by my condo. If you have some other ideas, I'm sure you can post them here.

Modify and streamline existing ideas like Unions, Vocational Schools and Retirement Plans. I swear it wouldn't be that difficult.

The Vocational school ideas is great. They need to stop pretending that everyone is college material much less university material.

One Idea I think could fly is the one I've brought up time and again about getting rid of the student loan system and replacing it with a reverse-social security system.

I laid it out here:

Debt-free college: Where the 2020 presidential candidates stand

Get out and do what? On 35 grand a year it would be tough. If they live at home for a few years they can save and not go into debt. I have several tenants that make much less than 35K a year, and they are doing just fine. Going out on your own teaches you responsibility. After all, your...

Its a non-starter with the MAGA folks though. Too democratic.

No actually far from it. You were correct about some things though.

 

[Moonglow]

Democrats cannot do any of that. I predict that they will slide even more to the progressive left. Get ready for the loons to try their damnedest to out loony each other.

An orange guy with dyed hair is not looney enough?

How many D's voted against their self interests and why?

Decoding Trump's 2024 election success: 6 key factors behind his victory

Trump’s campaign recognized and capitalized on a growing frustration with what many Americans viewed as the excesses of the 'woke' movement. Spending more than $65 million on anti-transgender ads, Trump successfully positioned himself as the candidate opposing extreme identity politics. Issues like transgender rights, including access to bathrooms based on gender identity and participation in gender-specific sports, alienated some moderate voters. Even among Democrats, there was a sense that the party had swung too far left on cultural issues. Trump’s instincts on this matter proved to be spot on, resonating deeply with a segment of the electorate who were tired of what they saw as excessive political correctness.

If there is any political "cult", it is the belief in this so-called "two party system". The mystery is that either of the twins is respected by voters.

 

[P@triot]

I haven't changed my position on anything.

I didn’t say anything about “changing your position”. You’re still a leftist. You were just seeing more clearly than usual the other day

You tell us.

They aren't. Have you watched approval ratings for the last 25 years? Same for congress.

The voters make what they see as a binary choice.

 

[Delldude]

You tell us.

That's ok, I'll let them tell you.

Oh look, an irrelevant video you never watched.

I like your honesty ...

You're basically suggesting that the Democrats might do anything to win (without actually saying it) ...
Even lie about their intentions and ignore the voice of the People that gets them elected ...
If they can just get the Power and then pursue an alternate Agenda.

Republicans proved that is a winning formula a few days ago
