get back to basics and stop emphasizing fringe issues

Anonymous wrote:Jeff's title post today was spot on, as usual. He stated that Democrats are twiddling their thumbs as a four-alarm fire engulfs our democracy. He pointed out a lot of what Democrats should not be doing, which is all correct. He mentioned that Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez went and spoke and drew huge crowds. Great.

What *should* other democrats be doing? Can we get specific and then demand it? I agree that vetoing the crypto bill is obvious. What else? Can they bring Congress to a standstill? BArnstorm the nation? Protest in the streets? What next in the leadership of the moment?

Democrats should be worrying less about party and more about country. Really that simple.

I’m sorry but no. Personally I have no issue with abolishing ICE but preventing illegal immigration continues to poll highly.

I think the Dems need to reestablish the case for expanding pathways for Legal immigration (increased tax base, younger labor force to ensure social security in the future, etc) and setting forth a policy to do that. Throw in some of the right’s policies to promote integration such as a language proficiency requirement, and that can be a winning message that FOR something not just against something.

The dems now have an opportunity with Trump warmongering over Iran and unable to broker peace in Ukraine and trackless Defense budget increases to coalesce around being an anti war / pro peace / reallocation of the nation budget from military contractors to the people.

Let’s move past the Biden foreign policy disasters and take advantage of the mess Trump has gotten himself into to advocate for something tangible.

Just my opinion but this is messaging that would excite me and get me to open my pocketbook again (the James Carville / Harris / Obama messages asking for $$ to fight “for democracy” is a huge turnoff for me).

The anti-ICE / No Kings demonstrations were even international too.

Last weekend’s nationwide parades prove everybody 100% supports abolishing ICE.

Biden's presidency went downhill precisely when Gaza blew up.

As long as Democrats do not stand up to Zionists that are waging war everywhere they do not have a shot at winning again.

Coinbase just hired David Plouffe even after he ran a disastrous campaign.

Yes. It’s called failing upwards. A typical DC thing.

An option for white men.

Just because you're rich and insulated doesn't mean everyone else is. Democrats are bleeding because the leadership is overwhelmingly people like you who are insulated from real life.

Under Biden, I and many moms I know lost our jobs, went part time, took paycuts, passed up or got denied promotions, and suffered other career consequences that had major financial impacts because of school closures and Covid policy that went on way too long. Inflation hurt a lot of families. The stock market rebound is such a stupid measure for well-being in a country in which most people have no money in the stock market.

Well, if you’re white, DEI didn’t save you, so expect things to get worse.

DEI benefitted white women the most, which is quite sad frankly.

Also, Biden prioritized inflation over jobs so more white woken like you didn’t lose their jobs. Odd that you’re in a big group of job losses. That’s unusual. Though I’m not sure how you’re not getting a promotion, after you got fired, is Biden’s fault?

Yes, and the school closures were during Trump’s first administration, not Biden’s.

The EXCESSIVE school closures were the fault of blue-state governors and teachers unions. Neither Trump nor Biden are responsible for those.

Fight like hell for your community? What the hell does that even mean? Fight for what? More federal dollars to cushion your lifestyle?

Apparently decades of affirmative action and student debt forgiveness aren’t enough handouts
