[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't seem like democrats are going to adjust their platform at all. They seem to be doubling down, if anything. They are spending millions to learn "how to talk to young men," learning their slang in a "hello fellow kids" way. That means they are going to be consistent with their issues but adjust their messaging a bit. Probably this time, they won't hire a bunch of gay actors to pretend to be straight white men and say hilarious things like "I'm man enough to vote for Kamala Harris."

Dem top issues will remain the same: trans, gay, race quotas, the patriarchy, white women as "the problem," Palestine, protesting as the peak expression of politics, and getting more women to have abortions. [/quote]

I doubt any viable contenders for the 2028 Dem nomination will share your list of "top Dem issues" but even if they do, the 2028 Dem nominee will still be the favorite to win the 2028 election thanks to who will be the sitting POTUS on Election Day 2028.

For the sake of the country, I hope Trump's second term ends with his job performance being approved of by at least the 47% of Americans polling average history tells us is required to give the incumbent party a chance but let's not pretend that's likely to happen. Going with the safer assumption of Trump being as unpopular in 2028 as he was in 2020, the Dems will be able to beat the Trump endorsed 2028 GOP nominee with any old and angry washed-up politician just as they did in 2020. This being said; let's hope for both parties putting forth truly presidential caliber nominees in 2028 like they routinely used to. This swapping out old bags of bones every four years is tiring.

Pp you're responding to. I think you're correct that 2028 isn't in the bag for the GOP. The time between now and 2028 is a political eternity and Trump isn't playing it safe. Vance is also not Trump, doesn't have the same following or even the same beliefs. He's an old school, polished politician in an era that regards that with suspicion.

But the list I gave is absolutely the list that is top of mind when people think of the Democratic brand. They spend an exorbitant amount of time talking about race, sex, and why people should feel sorry for criminals. This is unchanged from 2024 and doesn't appear to be changing. They are allowing some dissent now, but that is not the same as changing their messaging. [/quote]
