[quote=Anonymous]Why are we so defensive?  Politics is a dirty business.  But somewhere along the way we convinced ourselves that being Democrats made us highly moral.  We know it’s not true, but we also kinda can’t let it go.  Sure, the Clintons and Pelosis and Bidens got rich, we admit, but so did the Trumps!  And we, the dcurbanmoms, we never did anything wrong, except for maybe caring too much.

The question this thread asks shouldn’t be so upsetting to us, but it obviously is.

So can we just take a moment to pat ourselves on the back?  We. Are. The. Better. Party.  Smarter, nicer, more moral.  No doubt about it.  The Trump machine runs on hate.  Of BIPOCs, LGTBQIA+s, civil servants, migrants, etc.  They suck.  And we’re actually pretty decent.  Not perfect, but very good considering the alternative.

With that in mind, can we address the question of what we should do differently for 2026 and 2028?  We did lose some ground with key demographics this time.  No we didn’t deserve it.  No we’re not in trouble for the future.  But…could there possibly be any lessons?  Is there anything the voters want that we *could* consider giving them that wouldn’t compromise our principles of our sense of ourselves as a party?[/quote]
