[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be a great example if the Dems would admit their mistakes from the past 10 years.  Maybe that would inspire Republicans to be more critical of Trump’s first 60 days?[/quote]

WTH. Why is it always on the Dems? Like seriously? The GOP controls the legislature. AT ANY MOMENT, they can make this go away.[/quote]

It's on the Dems because we are the Dems.  And we just got our but*s handed to us by...an unfit, beyond the pale, terrible person who all the voters already knew very well!  Who the voters apparently preferred to our offering.  So obviously we must have made some mistakes in the past 10 years.  And if we don't (or can't) acknowledge or correct any of them, we might continue losing.

We think Trump should be immediately impeached by his own party, but we would think that, wouldn't we?  The reason the Republicans in Congress don't think that is because their constituents don't think that.  Trump has been the best thing ever to happen to Republicans.  We may respect the whole party less, but that party is winning now, and they weren't before.

What happens when they run a populist Republican who isn't a lunatic like Trump?  What's our plan to beat that person?  Did we make any mistakes with our past three candidates, our immigration policies, our DEI policies?  Or should we just plow forward with more of the same and hope for the best?

It's not fair for us to be self-critical when the Republicans have a lot more to be self-critical about.  But it's strategically important for us.  Losing to Trump in 2024 is embarrassing.  And it happened in part because of us.  How can we prevent it from happening again next time?[/quote]

Trump was elected to a second term because Joe Biden in 2024 was as weak and unpopular of an incumbent POTUS as Trump was in 2020. If you want to fairly criticize Dems for allowing a Trump second term to happen, put a spotlight on the elite powers in the Dem Party that paved the way for a 77 year old Biden to become the Dem nominee in 2020.[/quote]

He was unpopular because the media harped on baby formula, egg prices and Hunter dick pix and never really reported on how good the US economy actually was. if the media gave trump anything close to the same treatment in 2020 or now, or during the campaign, we wouldn't be here.[/quote]

Hilarious cope.  Dems only lost because of…the media?[/quote]

Media sponging GOP talking points uncritically got us here on the trans issue, which at the high school sports level is like a handful of cases, so yes, the media was part of it. the dems are also awful at messaging.[/quote]

There’s no good way to message the trans athletes position.  “There aren’t that many and why are Republicans so obsessed” doesn’t erase the fact that our party supports biological males on the girls’ sports team and i. The girls’ locker room.  The voters no likey.  We either have to throw trans folk overboard and win, or stand by them and lose with dignity.  Ain’t no messaging can fix this unpopular position.  Wait until the MAPs start whining about being oppressed.  If we take that bait like we took the trans oppression bait, we will be doomed to wander the wilderness, out of power for half a century[/quote]

Or we could just focus on nominating someone with legitimate POTUS leadership skills like the last two Dem two-term POTUSs had instead of bending over for the party elites by accepting another Biden thrown in our face.

All this silly concern about messaging goes away when you have a LEGITIMATE leader crafting and communicating their own messaging. [/quote]

Not even great communicators Barack Obama or Bill Clinton could sell trans athletes to the voters.  Not that they’d even try.  Those two were arch-conservatives by today’s standards[/quote]
