A New York congressman is urging Dems to return to their working-class roots and target “corrupt elites who’ve been in power far too long” to escape the political “wilderness” during President Trump’s reign.
Progressives have been grappling with a considerable cultural-vibe shift and an apparent leadership vacuum since Trump’s return to the White House. But moderate Rep. Pat Ryan of the Hudson Valley is expressing optimism that the party is starting to regain its footing.
“Democrats got our butts kicked in November. No two ways about it. We stopped meeting people where they were. We became the party of the elites, and folks felt that,” Ryan bluntly admitted on X on Saturday.
But he added, “I’m optimistic because this week, we set the terms of the fight ahead.
“A core group of Democratic leaders rose up IMMEDIATELY to make it clear we fight FOR the people and AGAINST the same corrupt elites who’ve been in power far too long.”
**SNIP**
The rep is now arguing that President Trump gave a “whole lot of love to his billionaire cronies” during his first week back at the White House.

“That’s a wide cross-section of our party, from all parts of our country, from all backgrounds, from all ideologies, LISTENING to the American people and responding clearly: Left, right and center be damned, we’re here to lower costs for YOU and your family,” Ryan said.
“Yes, the Democratic party sure as hell isn’t perfect. I know we’ve got an awful lot of work to do to regain trust,” he added.
“This intense, unyielding and unwavering dedication to fighting FOR the people and AGAINST anyone who would do them harm, that’s the Democratic Party I want to be a part of. That’s our path out of the wilderness.”

“urging Dems to return to their working-class roots”
AOC, I’ll have...
WOW!
How deluded can one be??????
limousine liberals.
DemonRATS have “working-class roots”? ROTFLMAO! That’s funny. I don’t care who you are. That’s funny right there.
“ The rep is now arguing that President Trump gave a “whole lot of love to his billionaire cronies” during his first week back at the White House.”
I didn’t see Trump give a medal of freedom to George Soros.
Dems return to their working class roots which:
They despise
They have done everything to harm
Would fly in the faces of their elitist, wealthy donors.
The Socialist democrats have painted themselves into a corner, and there’s no good way out.
Identity politics, dividing society into groups of victims & losers, will be the death of the party, and it can’t come soon enough.
America has had enough of their DEI crap, and they have no way to drop it. They can’t just abandon all their freaks.
Yeah...work against America, ie against Trump, you idiot...uh huh.
Whatever this rodent’s plan is won’t work.Trump has done good for America in a week than the rodents have done in decades.
Why the hell didn’t the GOP do this kind of third world crap when Joe Pedo and the Jamaican Queen were screwing over Americans? Oh! That’s right. We like to take the high ground when we’re getting our asses kicked.
The utterly STUPID runs bone deep in this one. Compost for brains, if that much.
Not that much. Compost serves a very useful purpose.
What were going to do about Trump.
We are against the Billionaires.
We'll fight for you.
We are Progressives.
-Yawn-
-Nothing for me-
-How about Jobs-
-How about Inflation-
-How about getting to the Bottom of COVID -
-How about how your going to Protect Your Cities against Rioters, Arsonists and Poo on the Sidewalks -
-Yeah, stuff we actually care about instead of having your head up your butts -
“But ya ahhhhhh Pat. Ya ahhh the corrupt elites in power!”
NY 18 placeholder is a clay pot filled with stale Democrat talking points.
The 18th is MAGA. Pushing SALT handouts for wealthy homeowners with high NYS school taxes is all they have.
