It's not even been 2 weeks and the Dems in the Senate are caving to nominations and witnessing the dismantling of our government and acting like it's a normal day with "tough" questioning and finger wagging. Bipartisanship ended when we all saw a Sieg Heil performed from behind the presidential seal of the United States and the governing party defended it. Now we have a Neo Nazi private citizen forcing resignations, harassing federal staffers, locking them out of databases and trying to access the governments payment systems. It is an absolute emergency, yet I have not seen one statement by the Dem leadership about this. We should be seeing a phalanx of lawmakers every single day outside the Capitol in front of microphones screaming about this hostile takeover of our government. Where are they? Too busy texting us for money for 'fight funds".

100%

Kamala sucked. But we do need to become more moderate.

DEI was so unpopular. What were we thinking? Democrats and educators pushed too far, and when you push too far, there is always blowback.

Trump will push too far and the pendulum will swing back. Hopefully Dems don’t interpret that as popularity for progressive ideas.

Many of "these folks" are obviously from one parent families. The stability and lessons they do not receive from a second parent, and the lifelong pain it causes really shows.

I do not know why democrats continue to attack the nuclear family, but it does a disservice to everyone.

Become the party of the working class again.

Mandate e-verify
Support policies that stop illegal immigration
Support limits on birthright citizenship
Repeal h-1b and OPT

It really is common sense. Do what you can to help your fellow neighbors.

This. Dems stopped being a party representing working class long ago. Nothing they did during many years of them being in power has helped ordinary people get ahead, quite the opposite. The culmination was a massive transfer of wealth due to Covid measures, and a "culture revolution" on the co-tails of lockdowns and frightened population shaken by the "killer virus" and willing to do anything to "go back to normal". People were fired and silenced if they spoke out or didn't want to go along with the pronouns, identity politics, BLM riots criticism, questioning Covid measures, toddler masking, ridiculous and discriminatory vax mandates/vaxxports, etc, etc. The outcome we are facing now is no surprise and totally predictable.

-Give up on increasing taxes for a cycle. Don’t touch trump’s tax code bc they think it helps them (it doesn’t)

-focus on military, securing our nation
-focus on a strong immigration plan
-course correct everything T is doing. How will you fix federal funding? How will you protect our elderly? How will you help our college age kids? This is your largest base of voters.
-Get a Tim Walz type in. We need someone who has lived on a teachers salary. Limousine Liberals were the reason I hated democrats for so long. I was struggling financially and then someone making $1mil a year was trying to raise my taxes and just didn’t get my struggle.
-childcare: if you can make raising kids more affordable, you might be able to win some red state voters. You have to shape this in a way that doesn’t hurt kid free people.

Agree especially with the final point.

Push for affordable health and childcare and, although I know this would be tough politically, education reform including vouchers for people to send their kids to better schools.

Be on the side of workers and those struggling in today’s economy.

Drop the cultural issues - you are losing on them.

Two thirds of union workers are teachers.

There are no lawsuits before a friendly judge who will issue a nationwide injunction. The party wants this issue gone, but are not sending the message out.

I see your point but Tim Walz was the wrong pick. I’m a teacher and couldn’t relate to him at all. I found him creepy as hell.
