What exactly is the democratic party going to stand for in 2026 and 2028?

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/02/26/americans-have-grown-more-supportive-of-restrictions-for-trans-people-in-recent-years/

Since taking office, President Donald Trump has signed several executive orders related to transgender people. These have included orders banning trans women and girls from women’s sports and ending federal funding for health care related to gender transitions for youth.
A new Pew Research Center survey finds that majorities of U.S. adults favor or strongly favor laws and policies that:
Require trans athletes to compete on teams that match their sex assigned at birth (66%)
Ban health care professionals from providing care related to gender transitions for minors (56%)


Poll after poll shows that Americans oppose letting boys and men compete in sporting events with girls and women.

Democrats are out of step with the majority of Americans.

Democrats pretend high inflation didn’t exist during Biden’s administration. They pretend that grocery prices are not hobbling regular Americans.

Democrats ask what Trump is doing to
bring down egg prices. When provided with a list of policies and proof egg prices are going down, the moderator will delete the entire message or thread.

That’s what democrats stand for.

Egg prices are fine... Democrat spin on inflation not good.

exactly. we will remember. Democrats will lose again in 2028

And we will remember your Union busting, tearing down Medicare, Obamacare, and Medicaid. Your war on Social Security since 1935. Your hatred of minorities and all-consuming racism and misogyny. Your embrace of violence and guns, and your love affair with fascism. How you tanked the world’s strongest economy with feeble-minded tariffs, and tore down a scientific infrastructure that was the envy of the world.

And when we return to power you damn well better shut your mouths and go back to your f*king caves.

How will democrats win an election when Americans don’t want unfettered illegal immigration and boys competing with girls in sporting events?

The same way they won in 2020 with a washed-up unlikable 77 year old. They'll let Trump gift the 2028 election to them just like he did in 2020. None of this is rocket science.

2020 was a pandemic quirk where state laws like Pennsylvania’s were upended (allowing late arrival ballots and incorrectly dated ballots as just two examples that in 2022 were not allowed) and mail in votes proliferated. That set of circumstances isn’t happening again.

Enjoy president Vance.

Lol... Vance has as good a chance of becoming POTUS as Harris, Pence, and Mondale did. 0% chance. Use your brain dimwit.

dimwitted.

Anyone with at least half a brain knew Biden would win in 2020 and Trump would win 2024. Those clowns gifted each other easy election victories. It's Trump's turn to gift an easy election victory back to the Dems in 2028. None of this is difficult to predict.

History repeats itself. Welcome to politics 101, young lad.

Anyone? Go back and read the threads here from prior to the election where everyone insisted Kamala would win. Your insults of dimwitted and young lad are juvenile and don’t advance your ridiculous argument that has no basis. If everyone thought Trump would win, then why did the threads here insist he would not, and sites like 538 and mainstream media insisted the polling showed otherwise?

As for history repeating itself, well of course. Many VPs go on to win. 15 to be exact.

No, this is bull.

No, it’s what the current polls say, and they aren’t even close.

Americans disliked the GOP more than Biden in May of 2021. That didn't last long. History repeating itself once again. Americans have a bad habit of electing elderly unfit presidents and then quickly regretting it. Trump, with approval ratings averaging in the mid 40% range, is currently "popular" by Trump/Biden standards but this relative popularity won't last long. Been here. Done this.

Democrat approval ratings are in the low 30s. That doesn’t compare to Trump’s 47 percent approval. Get real.

Yea, if the midterms were in 2025, the GOP would have a chance at success before the impact of the elderly unfit leader fully kicks in.

May 2025 CNN poll shows the public favors the GOP for the economy, crime, taxes. Even in abortion, Dem historic lead on that issue is shrinking.

Not looking good for Dems for the midterms.

I think the Dems do need a mind shift. Many of Trump’s policies give us an opportunity to test our theories that the country needs immigration (younger workforce that fill important agriculture and caretaking roles), free and open markets (for a flourishing economy), and global partners (mutual support and defense). There are also things the Trump admin is doing that we wish the Ds would have figured out (attacking the pharmaceutical industry). So we can moan and groan all we want and lose. Or, continue to say what we believe in while we see what happens.

This means the Dems have to focus on what they are for, and. It just what they are against.

[Anonymous]

Vance isn't Trump. I think Vance actually believes his "America first" ideas. Trump doesn't believe in anything.

Trump cobbled together enough support to win the election using humor, vaguely promising he was an anti-war option, and letting people believe he supported whatever was their number 1 issue.

Plus Trump won against an inadequate candidate with limited time to prepare because the people around Biden committed elder abuse and let a man with advanced cancer and cognitive decline try ro run again. All against a backdrop of democrats becomimg insanely unpopular since covid overreach.

That won't line up like that for Vance.

Those are such RWNJ lies!

There was never so-called “unfettered illegal immigration” on our southern border; only some asylum seekers.

The Biden administration was getting a handle on it, and even created an excellent app to register everyone.

While I support immigration I can also admit that the increase in migrants to the northern blue states were stressing resources. Governors in MA and NY repeatedly sent letters to President Biden asking him to take action and he (or his decision makers) ignored those calls.

While I agree the GOP blows everything out of proportion. Telling ourselves there wasn’t a capacity absorption issue is just silly.

If Biden were to have figured out a faster path to citizenship for the asylum seekers and mechanism for placing them in jobs we were trying to fill equally across the country while also limiting inflow so we had time to absorb the new arrivals that would have been a winning strategy as the vast vast majority of asylum seekers are not violent gang members and our country needs younger workers to help pay into social security and Medicare.

You may have predicted Harris would win but us smart people knew the Dems had no chance the day Biden announced he was seeking a second term.

VPs of popular presidents do reasonably well in their post VP political endeavors. Trump, Biden, and Mondale are by far the three most unpopular presidents ever and members of their administrations pay the price with their careers.

Keep thinking somehow everything will be different this go around and you'll continue to be wrong. Stop fighting facts. History predicts the future.

While I agree with your middle paragraph discounting the opposition candidate is what got us into this mess in the first place. I saw a pretty impressive Vance in the VP debate and his family is lovely and multi cultural. Accusing him of being racist is just not the play here. Sorry.

I didn't accuse him of being racist. Is that what you think America First means?

How is it possible you can’t follow the arguments here? I said Vance would win and was called dim witted. I responded that someone who thought Kamala stood a chance shouldn’t be calling others names, and now you are suggesting I predicted Kamala would win?!

If you can’t follow along with basic back and forth, please stop posting.

Biden didn’t need to “figure it out” - he was making calculated choices to flood the border with people he hoped would eventually vote left. There is a backlog of over three million pending amnesty cases, yet his administration chose to provide a work visa to a man who had overstayed his tourist visa. Why?! That man went on to commit the terror attack against Jews in Boulder. These are choices, not some sort of confused attempt at border security.

Vance is very impressive and more importantly, look at the entire thread.

There is no one being put forward as a democratic candidate here who stands a chance.

Gavin? The land of trans girls taking the podium in state sport championships and high taxes? AOC? None of these are happening.

I bet you thought Trump would win in 2020 and you thought Mondale would win in 1984 and you thought Pence and Harris would excel in their post VP careers.... by 2028, Vance will be as popular as Pence was in 2020 and Harris was in 2024. If you don't understand this very simple logic based on historical facts, just stop embarrassing yourself.
