“You guys have run this car straight into a wall,” he said of party leaders. “Sit down, shut up, and actually you have a moment to learn something. And stop telling people how to live their lives because you don’t know squat and nobody’s had the balls to tell you that, and I just did.”

Perfect.

Pretty pitiful when Emanuel can see this and the rest of them can't or won't. Who knows- perhaps this will be the kick of courage others need to help right their sinking ship.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Emmanuel is completely right.

You Progs got to back, sit down, and talk to the center of the party.

 

[leftwinger]

Emmanuel is completely right.

You Progs got to back, sit down, and talk to the center of the party.

Yet you're all in on all of it from mass murder to torture to non-stop rioting. You dont have a clue you sick mangy fly infested leftist maggot.

It's possible that Emanuel has quit drinking the blue kool aid.

We can hope it's catchy, but that's probably wishful thinking. Seems like everytime the democrats make a move, it's farther into the loony left stratosphere.

Yeah, and we just had Newsom trying to convince everyone he's a changed man into being a moderate. Then the LA riots have proven that he's a lying piece of shit and hasn't changed one bit. I'm rooting for Emanuel though. So far he seems serious.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Like anyone considers anything thing he says above as worthwhile.

 

[Mac1958]

So he's telling him to drop the Identity Politics crap.

 

[bendog]

The dems went from the big tent party in 2020 to being for open borders. And they seem to have done it between the election and Biden's inauguration. lol

I sincerely hope for a change back to reality for all of them- though that seems an enormous dream, lol. But it would help if just the most visible ones and/or the ones in power would see the light and spread the word.

But I have no hope for the more out there ones like Newsom, Pelosi and the goon squad. They are gone. Hillary's just evil, but she doesn't really count anymore, thank gawd.

AI Overview

To revitalize the Democratic Party and improve its performance, several key areas require attention. This includes strengthening the party's base by addressing the concerns of working-class voters and addressing internal infighting. Additionally, the party should focus on presenting clear and effective messaging, finding solutions to current challenges like immigration, and ensuring that its policies are implemented effectively.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Reconnecting with the Working Class:

• Addressing Economic Concerns:
  Democrats need to address concerns about the rising cost of living, job security, and access to affordable housing.
  
  
• Strengthening Labor Relations:
  The party can strengthen its ties with labor unions by supporting policies that benefit working-class families.
  
  
• Refocusing Messaging:
  Democrats need to tailor their messaging to resonate with working-class voters, highlighting the economic benefits of their policies.
  

2. Addressing Internal Divisions:

• Promoting Unity:
  The party needs to find ways to bridge the divide between its progressive and centrist wings.
• Strengthening Leadership:
  The party should focus on developing and promoting strong leaders who can unite the party and inspire voters.
• Improving Communication:
  Open communication and collaboration between different factions within the party are crucial for fostering a sense of unity.
  

3. Enhancing Policy and Implementation:

• Developing Solutions to Current Challenges:
  Democrats need to address the challenges of immigration, economic inequality, and climate change with concrete solutions.
  
  
• Focusing on Delivery:
  Once policies are passed, the party needs to ensure that they are implemented effectively and that programs deliver on their promises.
  
  
• Simplifying Complex Issues:
  Democrats need to communicate their policies in a clear and accessible way, avoiding jargon and complex language.
  

4. Strengthening Party Organization:

• Building a Strong Grassroots Network:
  Democrats can build a stronger party by engaging with local communities and fostering grassroots activism.
• Reaching Out to Underserved Communities:
  The party should focus on engaging with marginalized communities and ensuring that their voices are heard.
• Improving Fundraising and Mobilization:
  A well-funded and organized party can better compete in elections and effectively mobilize its base.
  

By addressing these key areas, the Democratic Party can strengthen its base, unite its ranks, and effectively present a compelling vision for the future.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

To strengthen its base, unite its ranks, and present a compelling vision for the future, the Republican Party in 2025 can focus on the following key areas:

---

1.​

• Engage suburban, minority, and younger voters by tailoring messages that resonate with their economic and social concerns.
• Expand digital and grassroots organizing to reach underrepresented communities
  

2.​

• Emphasize pro-growth economic policies, such as tax incentives, deregulation, and infrastructure investment, which have proven popular in states like Georgia and Montana
  
  
• Offer a clear alternative to Democratic economic plans, focusing on inflation control, energy independence, and job creation.

3.​

• Present a balanced immigration policy that combines strong border enforcement with legal immigration reform.
• Frame the issue around national security and economic fairness, while avoiding rhetoric that alienates moderate voters.

4.​

• Bridge divides between traditional conservatives, populists, and libertarians by focusing on shared values: freedom, opportunity, and national pride.
• Support leadership that can navigate internal factionsand maintain a unified front in Congress and state governments

5.​

• Address cultural concerns around education, parental rights, and free speech in a way that resonates with families and avoids alienating centrists.
• Promote school choice, curriculum transparency, and civic education as unifying issues.

6.​

• Position the GOP as a champion of American innovation, supporting tech entrepreneurship, AI development, and cybersecurity.
• Emphasize data privacy and digital freedom as conservative values.

7.​

• Ensure that new party leaders—such as those emerging in the RNC and RGA—are capable of modernizing the party’s imagewhile staying rooted in conservative principles
• What are examples of successful outreach strategies? How can the party address cultural issues effectively?

I have called myself an Independent for many years. Over the years I have voted for a mix of everyone. Voted for Reagan, H. Bush, Clinton the second time, Gore, Obama the second time. In 2016 I wrote in John Kasich. I wouldn't vote for either Hillary or Trump. In local elections party didn't matter to me. I voted for who I thought was best.

Somwhere in there the democrat party lost all of their marbles and went so extreme to the left that they fell off the edge of the Earth, proving that it is indeed flat. I not only quit voting for any democrats at all but proudly voted for Trump in both 2020 & 2024. I'm rooting for democrats to find their marbles. I like Emanuel and Fetterman. Always liked Joe Manchin. But, I fear their marbles will never be found.

I live in Kentucky and there is a lot of talk about Andy Beshear running in 2028 but he has only been a good blue governor of a red state because Republicans own the legislature who make the laws and override all of his bad decisions. If he was on the blue team with a blue legislature he would go down the woke road.

I've been a registered independent all my voting life. James is a republican. I've voted all over the map as well, but not Gore or Obama.

Some years, it's hard to vote.

No real solid policy there other than party unity stuff

 

[Independent thinker]

I've been a registered independent all my voting life. James is a republican. I've voted all over the map as well, but not Gore or Obama.

Some years, it's hard to vote.

When I was young I was poor and a diehard democrat. Then, at one point, I realized that while democrats seem to always have their hearts in the right place, all of their decisions seemed to always hurt the very people they tried claiming they wanted to help.

Then I switched to Republican during the Reagan/H Bush years. Then I switched to Independent and that's where I have been ever since.

Except, in my state, independents don't have anyone to vote for in the primaries as you can only vote in independenent primaries, which are pretty non-existant. So, even though I'm actually an independent, I registered back as a Republican so I could at least vote in the primaries since I lean more to the right than to the left.

Now over the last few years I absolutely refuse to vote for any nutcase woke progressive democrat socialists until they find their marbles and move back to being moderate. I fear that will be a very long wait. It has gotten to the point where Trump can do just about anything he wants and it's still better than voting for a party who doesn't even know what a woman is.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

well, no one seems to have an idea what either party should be doing to get better
