Honestly, I hope so, but I’m skeptical. That having been said, Democrats are now primarily winning wealthy old people who are the only people who reliably vote, so they might win by pure demographics alone.
Remember 2018 and 2020? Dems will be successful in 2026 and 2028 for the same reason they were successful in 2018 and 2020. Dem candidates will benefit from the very unpopular sitting GOP POTUS. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Pelosi raked in millions last year — and her portfolio out-performed every large hedge fund with stunning returns

The link contains clear evidence of Pelosi insider trading. She doesn’t run free just because her husband put the stocks in his name. Crooks.
95% of Congress members use their power and privileged access to insider info to gain personal wealth. This is nothing new. There are a few members of Congress who have recently spoken out against their colleagues for these wrongdoings. Those brave and selfless Congress members are frozen out of leadership positions by their sleazeball colleagues. It's a toxic environment to say the least.
Nancy Pelosi takes the cake!!!!!
56% return on her stock investments just last year.

Based on this, I dont think Democrats stand a chance until 2032.
https://www.city-journal.org/article/democratic-party-transgender-ideology-gavin-newsom
California governor Gavin Newsom surprised many recently when he labeled transgender-identified male athletes’ participation in women’s sports “deeply unfair.” The forum, a podcast discussion with MAGA activist Charlie Kirk, was almost as striking as the statement itself.
But Newsom’s comments were conspicuously not a full-throated repudiation of gender ideology. They merely reflect a new trend within the Democratic Party that involves expressing public skepticism of transgender ideology while remaining unable to act against it.
This apparent mismatch between rhetoric and action is not just political expediency; it’s a structural problem. The Democratic Party increasingly finds itself in a balancing act: acknowledging how unpopular its activist class has become but remaining dependent on it for funding, organizing, and electoral mobilization. As long as Democrats are unable to break with their fringe, Republicans will keep using gender ideology as a stand-in for a broader critique of Democrats as a party that cannot be trusted to govern competently.
The Democratic base is not committed to the liberal line on transgender issues. A January New York Times poll, in fact, found that more than two-thirds of Democrats—and 79 percent of Americans—oppose allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports. The political risk in disagreeing should be obvious.
Yet, when Republicans forced a Senate vote last week on a bill to bar biological males from female athletics, not a single Democrat broke ranks. Even Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman, the Left’s purported blue-collar truth-teller, didn’t budge. Though he has diverged from his party on immigration and Israel, he toed the line, casting trans-identified athletes as innocent children caught in a “political maelstrom.” Michigan senator Elissa Slotkin struck a similar note on Meet the Press, saying the issue should be left to local communities.
The refusal to moderate reveals where the real power lies within the Democratic Party. Though elected officials must win over voters every few years, they rely on the party’s activist class every day. Progressive NGOs, donor networks, and advocacy organizations exert enormous influence over Democratic primaries and policymaking—and they have zero interest in compromising on gender ideology. As a result, elected officials are incentivized to move away from majority opinion and toward ideological purity.
As Ruy Teixeira and John Judis argue in Where Have All the Democrats Gone?, the party’s reliance on educated, activist-minded elites has alienated working-class and nonwhite voters. But for activists, staking out extreme positions is a feature, not a bug. It’s how they raise money, rally supporters, and consolidate control over the party’s policy apparatus.
In 2020, Newsom signed California’s Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act, which allows male inmates who identify as female to be housed in women’s prisons. California continues to permit males to participate in female sports and is actively fighting the federal government on this issue, despite Newsom’s podcast-friendly talk of “fairness.” In his conversation with Kirk, Newsom claimed that no one in his office has ever used the term “Latinx,” yet his own past statements prove otherwise.
Thank you.

Severe prejudice?
Is that the narrative in your upper two inches because you can't hold power without it? You're suffering from a persecution complex.

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."
