Saturday’s election of a new Democratic National Committee chair is attracting a lot of media attention in the wake of the drubbing the party received in 2024.
A fresh start under a new leader could help turn the floundering Democrats’ fortunes around, insiders fervently hope.
But that’s not likely, whoever wins the battle — be it Wisconsin state chair Ben Wikler, Minnesota state chair Ken Martin or one of their long-shot rivals — because the party’s problems are ideological, not technical.
**SNIP**
But so far theirs are lonely voices of moderation in a large party that remains far to the left of the American electorate.
The party’s challenge is best depicted in the Senate’s recent vote on the Laken Riley Act, a no-brainer bill mandating the detention of illegal immigrant criminals.
Just 12 Senate Democrats broke party lines to join all Republicans in backing the measure.
It’s notable, though, who those 12 were: nine of the 10 Senate Democrats representing states that Trump carried; both senators from New Hampshire, which Trump lost by less than three percentage points; and Virginia’s Mark Warner, who may be facing a challenge from popular term-limited Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin in 2026.
Every other Senate Democrat voted no.
They represent the party’s base, the people who will select the next Democratic presidential nominee — and they know the base remains committed to the sort of open-borders policies that helped cause the party’s decline.
Whoever prevails this weekend can’t fix that. All that person can do is rearrange the deck chairs on the S.S. Democrat.
It will fall to the ship’s elected captains to determine if it comes home safely to port — or if it runs full-throttle into the iceberg of increasingly conservative public opinion.

The Rats think they can just keep cheating and winning elections. They’ve been getting away with that for years, but now there is a new sheriff in town. So, they may not be able to cheat so much now.
LOL.
Yes they seem blind to the fact that the American people are nowhere near as left as this Democrat party is.
Obama was once asked about his biggest disappointment or failure as president. He said that his biggest problem as President , was just not being able to explain well enough to the American people, about his policies and legislation passed.
To Obama and other Democrats, the problem is not with any of their policies. The problem is that Obama was just not able to explain to us the joys of Obamacare. He was just not able to explain well enough about global warming.
To them the problem is not any of their ideology. The problem is that they just can’t communicate well enough to the American people.
And on a related note, in this last campaign, they just weren’t able to persuade enough of the American people that Trump is Hitler and all of that.
Obama’s problem was he was a socialist and racist.

Which is why Communist states always had to use terror to make people comply.

You mean he IS a socialist and racist.
If they were to actually choose a man pretending to be female that wouldn’t surprise me at this point.
The Helen Keller Party honestly thought Harris and Walz were a winning ticket.
And then, after about another 20 years, they might run for city dogcatcher.
Well, Walz brought in the knucklehead vote.......
The Democratic Party leaders, specifically President Biden and Congressman Swallwell, threatened to use nuclear weapons on the American people. I have yet to hear of other political leaders in other nations make the same threat against their own people.
For such a threat and such an attitude, it is time for the Democratic Party to disappear.
the commies are in charge
either the dem party dies
or
the country does
Gee, where would they start to fix such a F’d up platform?
If you routinely foul the rigging, it doesn’t matter who the captain is
