I admire the Dems in one respect: they define what they want and they fight relentlessly for it. “Our party” is a bunch of clueless, weak appeasers who never fight for anything.
The party is a reflection of its voters. There is something about the flaccidness of the GOP that attracts voters inclined to surrender. We can’t win with electing Democrat lite GOP candidates on policy and we can’t win with stronger MAGA candidates who the GOP surrender caucus are loath to vote for.
The reasons you stated are why I believe a new party is our only chance. We need a party that exhibits the courage and feistiness of Donald Trump. We need fighters and people with resolve to achieve what its voters want. The GOP will never be that party.
