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

[Anonymous]

They are just going to manufacture something fake (like trans rights) and get Russia on it and in 4 years, people will forget this cycle and lap it up again.

If democrats keep insisting that men should play in women's sports, the GOP will have no problems.

I know lots of Democrats and not a single one of them think men should play women's sports. You must live in California or perhaps you need to step out of your bubble and talk to real people.

Then I guess a lot of democrats are out of sync with their own party platform. Seems a reckoning is needed.

There is no nationwide political agenda to make men playing in women's sports a thing. This forum is dedicated to national politics. If you want to discuss what may be happening on local levels in a few parts of the country, find an online forum specific to those locations. The Dem Party currently has no national leader and therefore no national platform. You and some of your low IQ friends may have been duped into to thinking this men in women's sports thing is part of the national Dem Party platform but anyone with an IQ over 90 knows better.

Their first major coordinated action in Congress post-inauguration (other than holding up little signs when Trump spoke) was to vote to protect men in women’s sports. Obviously it is part of the national goals of the Democratic Party and they obviously care deeply about protecting those trans girls and women who want to play in women’s sports.

Yes, Federal level Dem politicians voted to leave it up to states and local jurisdictions to determine if transgender females can compete in men's sports. Suggesting that permitting transgender females in female sports is part of a national Dem Party platform agenda is as ridiculous as suggesting Oklahoma's absurd abortion laws are a part of a national GOP Party platform agenda. You don't want to go there.

PP here. Fine. Take this approach to the voters. See how popular this is with the critical swing state voters we need to win.

This thread is so incredibly aggravating because it feels like none of the Democratic partisans here ever want to actually win a national election again. They want to double down on wildly unpopular policies while letting Trump entirely control the narrative, destroy civil liberties, drive educated immigrants that transform our economy out of the country, and balloon the debt. Great job fighting hard for the trans athletes, Dems! I’m sure we will appreciate your singleminded dedication to that issue above all else when Trump has instituted a dictatorship. 🤦

The Dem Party got rid of their Biden mistake in 2024. They now have a clean slate with no leader and no national platform. GOP politicians running for election and re-election will be hindered by the Trump mistake through at least January of 2029. I can understand why there aren't many confident and proud Dem loyalists in 2025 but those who understand political science and American history know that Dems will have a political advantage through the 2028 election cycle.

I understand political science but consider this time period to be aberrant, and I think your confidence is unwarranted.

If you understand political science you understood why any Dem nominee with a pulse was going to win in 2020 before it happened and why any GOP nominee with a pulse was going to win in 2024 before it happened. Did you? If not, I can see how you are confused about the direction of the political pendulum through the 2028 election cycle. The vote for change swing voters who determine POTUS elections will be in full swing mode by 2028. This isn't rocket science.

I have correctly predicted the winner of the presidential race the spring/summer before the election for every single election dating back to 2008. I’ve literally never gotten it wrong. I predicted Trump would win in May/June 2016.

And I’m telling you, I do not think this is standard political science. If Medicaid does end up getting slashed deeply in swing states, then yes, we are back to normal cycles. Otherwise, I am not nearly as confident as you are. I don’t think you grasp just how deeply unpopular Democrats are now.

Who is the unpopular leader of the Dems you are referring to? Dems have no leader. A leader creates their own messaging and introduces a party platform. If you think a Clinton, Obama, or Reagan caliber of politician would allow the opposition party to pin the crap the GOP has pinned on Dems since 2016, you simply weren't alive and/or paying attention back when we had real presidents.

When you have had no leader and the opposition has been creating your messaging for eight years, you're going to be "unpopular". Sure, there is 15% to 25% chance Trump's presidency evolves to where he isn't the Trump2020/Biden2024 level of unpopular in 2028 and that combined with once again no legitimate Dem nominee emerging could give the GOP 2028 nominee a fighting chance. Anything is possible. We might be able to give 100% assurance of victory by the Dems by summer 2028 but in 2025, we can use common sense, historical fact, and political science to say Dems are a heavy favorite with at least a 75% chance of winning in 2028.

Trump is going to cause Ds to lose their minds again and they'll put forth someone like AOC when a moderate Newsom would've sealed the deal and we'll be stuck eit president Vance. I don't even know what coalition the D candidate will roll with. Jew hating trannies?

Question for you: did you think Clinton was going to win in 2016?

I knew she was in big, big trouble when I saw Sanders beat her in the Michigan Dem primary while Trump was campaigning his butt off in the mid-western swing states. Trump was the change candidate swing voters were looking for in 2016. I will say that it was difficult to fathom ahead of time how my fellow Americans could be duped into electing someone who I clearly saw mock a physically handicapped person in front of the entire world to see but at the end of the day, Trump's 2016 victory fit the script.

First of all, you sound like a disgusting human being.
Second, most wouldn't consider Newsom (mispelled) a moderate.
Third, if you think AOC will be the nominee then you're profoundly stupid. But see point 1.

A Californian politician isn't winning a legitimate Dem primary anytime soon. Period. The end.

Ds won in 2020 and will again in 2028 because Rs insisted on nominating someone with zero integrity in 3 consecutive elections. Stupid is as stupid does. Second of all, the Dem electorate didn't insist on Hillary in 2016; the financial backers of the Dem Party insisted on Hillary.

If the majority of those who show up to vote for Vance, maga, or anything like it, there is no hope for the country.

Trump family imprisoned, awaiting trial on grift and many other crimes they've committed, every single one of them. No bail. Flight risks. The minor kids can get moved into foster care.
Total tax reform: 99% taxes on the income of anyone worth more than a billion dollars. Go down from there, but use Scandanavian countries tax systems as a model. Tax rates are about 45% in those nice, clean, safe countries where there are few homeless people, no one starves, free health care, and lots of rich people who live in lovely homes. Only the rich in Scandanavia aren't megabillionaires superrich like the ghastly people here who have so much money they spend it on gawdawful tacky weddings, outrageously huge yachts and screwing their workers and customers.
Smaller government. Reduce the size of our bloated government so we can balance the budget and still offer all Americans free health care and a universal basic income.
Fossil-fuel free in 20 years, no exceptions. Buhbye Exxon and all the other oil, gas and coal company criminals.
There's more, but that's enough for now.

Sounds like a dream.

Lol.. yea, the majority will support Vance just like they did with Pence, Harris, and Mondale. VPs of very unpopular presidents go down with the ship. Act like you've been here before.

It just takes one at least average leader to emerge in order for the party to become viable again. The Trump/Biden era has people forgetting the importance and power of legitimately strong leadership. Everything falls into place behind an adequate leader. It isn't that difficult to find adequate leaders to nominate and elect. We did it routinely until 2016. Don't let the past 8 years fool you into thinking this is the new norm. We can and will do much, much better.
