You’re funny. If the Epstein files have shown us anything, it is that forces bigger than blue and red are pulling the strings here. Get rid of Trump and MAGA, great! Democrats may be a little better and should win in 2026 and 2028, but their victories will not be worthy of a big celebration. 🤷♀️ |
Well said. |
THIS ^^^^^ x a million |
I agree she wasn't a good candidate. But she was infinitely better than the alternative. I hope the Democrats have a plan. I hope they support a candidate we can all be proud of. Either way, they have my vote. Even if they nominate Hunter Biden, they have my vote. I will vote for ANYONE who runs against this corrupt, anti-American, racist administration (and the party that has done nothing to stop them!). This adnministration is ruining my children's future and you will never be forgiven, |
You are a good person who thinks of others. This is why you would never survive in politics - even local politics. |
Sorry, I’m no longer accepting the schlock that the mega Dem donors tell me I need to accept because it’s better than Republicans. NO. I want a party that cares about regular people |
Yes, but where are you going to find that? DEFINITELY not by voting for Republicans. That leopard's already shown its spots and is pretty much irredeemable. Dems on the other hand do have many people who actually care about the working class. But their problem is that their coalition, messaging and platform is very fragmented which makes it overall incoherent. That's what the DNC needs to focus on. A platform and collection of pithy sound bites with broad appeal, rather than a loose random collection of fragmented thoughts. |
See above posts about money in politics and compromised ethics needed to survive in politics. “Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good, and use that knowledge, or refrain from using it, as necessity requires.” ― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince |
In other words, you voted against the best interests of yourself, and others, just because of the label "D". Had she won, you'd now be complaining about her ineptitude, policies, and lack of useful accomplishments. |

My understanding is that there is much discussion about the Dems creating their own version of a Contract With America. This would give people a clear guide of what the Dems are running on. The downside is that it gives the GOP a clear guide of what to attack them on.
Despite that, I think it would be a good idea. I don’t recall any Dem candidate in 2024 actually talking about transgender issues, yet everyone seems to think they did. A concrete platform would give firm, clear talking points and not let the other side put words in their mouths. |
Yes this 100%! Are there any Dem strategists out there?? Are you listening? Dems need solid messaging like Affordability and counter-messaging like upholding the constitution is not “radical” etc. Also, fight back on the MAGA propaganda. We should have been louder saying we DON’T want to take all your guns away, we DON’T perform sex changes in elementary schools, we DON’T want wide open borders, we DON’T want to teach our children that white people suck. but we DON’T want to erase history. We DO want human rights, and we DO want affordable healthcare, and we DO want illegal violent criminals deported, etc. Also point out the dementia and absolute narcissism of Trump with his talk of Greenland and Canada, his gold plated East wing and renaming the Kennedy Center like a godamn dictator. We need to be straight up about these things and stop being so professional. Fight fire with fire. |
+1 Getting rid of Trump and ending the MAGA era will obviously be a step in the right direction but what the low IQ, hyper-partisan fruitcakes who still identify as "Republican" or "Democrat" fail to understand is the fact that we will still have two corrupt and dysfunctional major political parties to clean up long after Trump is gone. |
Never interrupt your enemy when it is making a mistake. MAGA is so busy shooting itself in the foot that the Democrats really could just let them commit suicide by the day. That’s doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t have a plan in place with a platform, but there just doesn’t seem to be a lot of pressure to get it out there now. |
+1 The Dems having gotten rid of Biden and having no leader to eff things up while Trump destroys GOP chances in 2026 and 2028 is best case scenario. |
Ha! I supported for Harris. You obviously vote blue blindly. I mean that sincerely, and that is a huge problem with the party and why when its candidates succeed in 2026 and 2028, the country will still lose. |
