Working-class voters see Democrats as “woke, weak and out-of-touch” and six in 10 have a negative view of the party, concluded a frank internal assessment of the hole the party finds itself in.
The nine-month, 21-state research project is the latest in a wave of post-mortems and data dives aimed at solving the Democratic Party’s electoral challenges after their sweeping losses in 2024. It was funded by Democracy Matters, a nonprofit aligned with flagship Democratic super PAC American Bridge 21st Century, and backed by months of polling, dozens of focus groups and message testing.
American Bridge’s project focused exclusively on working-class voters, shedding light on a once-core constituency for Democrats that’s drifted away from the party over the last decade. And the initial feedback is grim: Working-class voters don’t see Democrats as strong or patriotic, while Republicans represent safety and strength for them. These voters “can’t name what Democrats stand for, other than being against [Donald] Trump,” according to the report.
The Democratic brand “is suffering,” as working-class voters see the party as “too focused on social issues and not nearly focused enough on the economic issues that impact every one, every day,” the report said.

I keep reading this, but there seems to be minimal swing in the electorate.
Democrat solutions:
1. Improve messaging
2. Keep fighting all election integrity efforts
3. Keep fighting deportations
4. Keep paying for votes. Increase price for a vote.
the dems will continue to vote left because to stop would mean that they were wrong, which they will never admit
The left never defines “working class.”
They are. Woke, weak, and stupid.
T think they all are scum and should all be deported to Gaza.
Democrats, the party of islam and illegal aliens.
democraps only seek the weak words, not the woke and out of touch. So thats why the violence and temper tamtrums
Now if they are willing to endorse a Conservative position, we know that they are just scamming us until they get elected and then they will go far-left.
Joe Biden was a great example of that. He ran as a "Centrist" in 2020. He promised "not to rock the boat".
and party of transing kids and drug smugglers too
These voters “can’t name what Democrats stand for, other than being against [Donald] Trump,” according to the report.
Mutilating kids. Thisbis unit731 stuff.
Don’t forget trans
Democrats are not only “woke and weak”.
They are dishonest, immoral, incapable of logic, lacking in courage, supportive of the double standard, and just plain loathsome. Now, after this list of their best attributes, what are the worst?
Na, dems are right about everything, they just need to work on their messaging.
The layabouts are the only ones the democrats coddle for vote offer them beads and free items and their happy.
I live in a very blue area. My exposure to these people tells me that they will never, ever stop voting Dem. It is their identity, it gives their existence meaning in their eyes.
The only way to slow this is to take the public schools back, and stop the indoctrination.
Vouchers.
The only way to slow this is to take the public schools back, and stop the indoctrination.
I often reflect on Jesus instruction to the disciples. Go tell every one the message, if you find receptive ears, stop and camp, else move on to the one with ears to hear.
Democrat solution 5 - Keep it gay
