But we need victimhood groups to justify our existence. It's in the DNC DNA.
Nope, I’m black and we know how to shut up and take a seat for the greater cause. We also know how to stand up when others sit down.
Timing is everything.
Personally? I have no issue tabling DEI and LGBTQ+ as someone that has or is close with someone who has been impacted negatively by the current political climate. We need agreement on what the way ahead is going to look like.
Im the meantime, while its not being discussed on larger public platforms, refine the DEI branding strategy from an educational meets political perapective. Roll in blacks, gays, women, latinos, ageism, SES disparity, education, healthcare, etc all of the areas of severe prejudice that would be evaluated through a close DEI tie in. Then fight for it. Matter of fact, make it the springboard for a revolutionary change across the country within the DNC.
DNC - Redefining DEI.

How about the republic and democracy worldwide?
Are you going to support democracy by not holding a primary and trying get your political opponent jailed? Or will you do it differently this time?
What are people supposed to do if a politician commits crimes?
Neither party followed any conventions at all. Presidential debate in June, BEFORE either party's national convention, where nominees are supposed to be selected? And why was the Debate Commission not even involved in any of it? Both parties did some strange things that circumvented process.
Meanwhile, Trump actually committed crimes, and was actually convicted of felonies, and found liable for sexual assault. Are we supposed to somehow ignore that?
You can ignore it just like you ignore the big guy's 10%. And the threat to withhold aid to Ukraine to protect his son, the Chinese kickbacks, Hunter's "art" sales, etc.
Oh, that's right, anything negative magically disappears when you scream "Russian disinformation."
It's only fitting that after 52 years of grifting, Biden's last official act was to effectively admit guilt by pardoning his family for crimes dating back over a decade.
Trump refused to abide by an independent commission as had been traditional. He broke this norm, just like all of the other norms.
Despite 6 years of intense investigation, the GOP came up with absolutely nothing related to any crimes committed by Joe Biden. The whole "Biden Inc" was a fabrication. Look who is actually witholding aid to Ukraine - the GOP and Trump.
Look who is actually getting Chinese kickbacks - Ivanka and her trademarks, Trump via Cryptocurrency etc. to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Yes, Hunter's art sales were bad. Was Hunter the president or a white house employee? No? Then not illegal.
Re: Russian disinformation: Look at the Senate Intel report WRITTEN BY MARCO RUBIO that outlines Russian influence in the 2016 election and continues to this day.
You have fallen prey to the worst of the projection of the right and Trump. Hopefully some day, the fog will be lifted from your eyes.
Speaking of fog....

Why Can’t California Do Anything?
California can’t build housing or railroads on time or on budget—and thanks to a bloated, value-driven bureaucracy, neither can the rest of America.
By Stephen Soukup
June 21, 2025
Just over two months ago, the Rand Corporation released a study on the cost of producing multi-family housing in three states: California, Colorado, and Texas. The results were paradoxically shocking, yet utterly predictable. California, it turns out, is a ridiculous place, run by ridiculous people, with ridiculous regulations. Or, as the folks at Rand put it, “The average market-rate apartment in California is roughly two and a half times the cost of a similar apartment constructed in Texas on a square-foot basis—and regional differences within California, where costs in the San Francisco Bay Area are roughly 50 percent higher than costs in San Diego.” Additionally, “[t]he time to bring a project to completion in California is more than 22 months longer than the average time required in Texas.” According to Rand, the culprit for these grotesque disparities is, to no one’s surprise, the differences in regulatory burdens between Texas and California and between various jurisdictions within the (allegedly) Golden State.
Earlier this month, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was forced to issue a threat to the government of California, warning the state that the federal government was considering rescinding future funding for its high-speed rail boondoggle. According to a department report, the federal government had released more than $7 billion to California for the project over the last several years, and it had, unsurprisingly, spent all of the money, yet somehow managed not to lay even a single foot of track. As The New York Post noted at the time, “the 800-mile rail line was supposed to be completed in two phases on a $33 billion budget by 2020.” Nevertheless, the proposed line has now been abbreviated to a mere 119 miles. Its budget has ballooned to nearly $130 billion, and it appears highly unlikely that it will be completed by its new 2033 deadline.

So true... (from the article)
"By the late 1960s, it had become accepted practice, but only in the United States, for public administrators to see themselves as value advocates and social justice warriors. And within a decade or so, that attitude had become profoundly ingrained among bureaucracies at all levels of government, throughout the country. Unsurprisingly, not long thereafter, American governments became incapable of doing much of anything."
"The Waldo-revolution turned what should have been executive-dependent, value-neutral, efficient bureaucracies into left-wing social justice machines. Not only does that explain the American bureaucracy’s overall dysfunction, but it also explains why politically left-leaning jurisdictions like California are even worse off than most places. Just as with their politicians, their bureaucrats adhere to different values—or cling to the same values more firmly and unrelentingly—making everything dysfunctional to the point of collapse."

And the above is why Rs have a slim chance of holding onto the House in 2026 and a much better chance of winning the presidency again in 2028.
You basically spewed a bunch of crap, and then argued this is why Democrats will lose. Try again.

In both cases it falls down economic lines . The major party donors are in favor of Israel and the layman is anti -war.
Is it though? I see much less vocal opposition in he news from Democrats than Republicans
2/3 of Dems opposed the air strikes. MAGA is pro-war.

Seriously - Dems need to focus on policies that are intended for the well-being of the majority of people. Not a bunch of special interest groups.
They prefer identity politics and "representation" as an example of change and progress over actual workers' rights.
Unions were the real DEI/diversity, equity, inclusion. They represented all groups in America.
The Democrats need to return to that because it was sad to see unions flock to Trump during the last election. Democrats are so out of touch with their working class roots. They do not even know how to talk to these Americans without talking down to them. They do not come off as very pro worker or pro family when they say things like "those jobs are not coming back", "we will re-train you at 60 years old" ""flyover state", "soccer mom/helicopter mom", "trad wife" or mock parents for not wanting defunded police, migrant shelters near schools, or transgender curriculums in public school. It's an attitude problem with the Democrats. They seem like they dont like God, family, or non college educated workers.

Right now the main goals of the Democratic party's establishment seem to be to bomb Iran, crush David Hogg, and stop Zohran Mamdani from being nominated for mayor of NYC.
