Democratic officials are combing through granular election data, reevaluating their digital strategy and reaching out to Donald Trump’s voters as they attempt to pull themselves out of the political wilderness.
In 27 interviews across half a dozen states, the party’s elected officials, labor leaders and strategists described widespread acknowledgment that Democrats must win back working-class voters, particularly Latino men, and others without college degrees who helped hand the election to Trump. And in anguished conversations in the halls of Congress and state party headquarters from coast to coast, despair over the scale of Democrats’ losses are giving way to plans to combat their crisis.
From mill towns in the swing state of Pennsylvania to Latino neighborhoods in bustling New York City, a refrain is crescendoing: The Democratic Party, which lost the presidential popular vote for the first time in 20 years, desperately needs an overhaul. And while party elders in the nation’s capital begin to debate their path as Republicans prepare to control every branch of government, state leaders are drafting their own autopsies.
“We need to do a lot of building across the nation — not just the battleground states, but states where we need to lift up the Democratic Party that has been less competitive than it should be,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said. His state remains solidly blue, but Trump considerably narrowed the 2020 gap there this year.

Jabba the democrat speaks.
They have to keep the crazies on the left which account for, according to some, 15% of their base.
They can’t win without them.
So expect more river to the sea, Trump is Hitler, drag queen story hour, screeching Karens, etc.
Right, instead of trying to find ways to make America better, they’ll spend their time and efforts on getting back in power.
Congress should not be a life style, term limits NOW!
There’s NOT going to be a come back... and here’s why:

So they realize they are doing poorly with “working class voters” and immediately think in terms of race. Who needs white working class voters, anyway?
Trump played the greatest UNO reverse card in US Politics.
Since at least FDR, Democrats have won election after election telling people “Hey send me to DC and I will give you this”.
Trump said “Send me back to DC and I will stop them from taking this from you”
The Democrats are the nanny state big Government party. There isn’t anyway for them to change that. It is in their DNA.
will they change their policies?
no just the messaging
As much as we can celebrate their despair, we must remember that it’s almost axiomatic that the party out of power, regardless of its own flaws and foibles, bounces back at the next midterm. It will be a political miracle if the GOP can retain its razor-thin House majority in ‘26. And the Senate could be in play as well. In order to defy gravity, Trump II has got to succeed in a huge way. Fingers crossed...
Almost all big Democrat donors are crazy kooks and perverts.
The Democrat leaders are stuck with trying to cram insanity down voters’ throats.
This is why the GOP MUST put in election integrity laws, clean up the voter rolls and deport massive numbers of illegals.
College-Educated women were out voted!
“We didn’t message well enough” is a lazy and stupid go-to. Which is not surprising, since the constant media tongue baths have made them lazy and stupid. Which is fine. Maybe another (figurative) 2X4 to the teeth, or maybe a couple more, will inspire a little more introspection
Come back to what?
The communism America just rejected.
Trump has labor, ethnic minorities, women.
You have spent shell casings and dead Americans at the hands of your invasion.
Where does that leave you.
Wait until women realize they have lost no rights, same with lgbtq.
My retirement account is sky rocketing.
You d-bags only make a splash when your trash gets posted here and we repeatedly kick you in the balls.
Nobody likes you. I mean that.
They haven’t exactly disappeared we hold the thinnest of margins in both Houses of Congress.
NEVER, EVER trust a Democommie.
They also focus solely on strategies and never policies or relationships.
Elections are solely about power to them. It’s like competing at an athletic event.
They don’t seem capable of understanding that people are what matter.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Who’s with me? Ayyyyyy….uhh….
Anyone who still supports The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate has an evil and criminal heart, mind and soul.
Increasingly, it looks like they also have a death wish.
2018 should ring a bell.
