Very instructive. From the party that calls everyone racist.


Every accusation is an admission.

Democrats should continue their current path of supporting illegal immigrants and opposing ICE agents.

Yes, what should democrats be doing?

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.

If schools had been open during that time, parents like you would have been sending sick kids to school and making everyone else sick. This would have resulted in whole classes having to stay home constantly--rolling de facto closures. Some staff and kids would have died. This is not fiction.

You mean hating straight white men all day and fomenting mayhem isn't enough to keep power?

Disavow the progressive wing of the party and gracefully slide the aging democratic leaders into retirement. Adopt a platform based on issues where there is consensus across party lines, show success and build from there.

Keep bowing to the progressive wing and the party won’t win elections outside of deep blue setting for a generation.

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?

How about finding common ground on Republican policies, getting them passed, and making America great again. Dems will find that passing popular policies will lead to election wins.

Like secured borders?

I'm forgetting the candidate, but there was a debate where he said(lied), "We have the same position on X".

Democrats need to do this with immigration. Instead, they oppose Trump everywhere, and claim that Trump prevented a solution on the border.
Biden let in 62,000 people at the border in May 2024. Trump let in 0. This was a choice, and that supposed bipartisan bill would have just codified the lawlessness into law.
Trump fixed it without needing a bill.

How will Democrats tell the country that it won't happen again.

"We have the same position as Trump on immigration."

I blame so much of the downfall of the party on Biden. It spoke volumes about his character that he wanted to virtue signal and open up the border to potential criminals all to spite Trump and spent the entire remainder using his DOJ to prosecute Trump . A leader is supposed to keep continuity on the things that are popular with the people. For example, Obama kept the Bush tax cuts and didn’t just close Guantanamo and risk Americas security just to virtue signal to the left. Similarly, Trump despite the bravado did not repeal Obamacare after Republicans realizes it was too popular with their own base and their older and poor base may die without health insurance . Biden flipped on illegal immigration just to prove a point to trump and it backfired on him

Maybe Democrats should stop talking and start listening.

How can the US be governable if there isn’t some effort made at finding common ground?

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

Democrats would rather die first.

No, we wouldn't. The main goal of Dems since Clinton has been reaching across the aisle. It hasn't done us much good.

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

An option for white men.

And, to be fair, some black men I've known too.
