Democratic leaders struggle to define the party, way forward after Harris loss: 'No coherent message'
Fox News ^ | 2/02/25 | Hanna Panreck

As the Democratic Party continues to grapple with former Vice president Kamala Harris' loss to President Trump, some leaders in the party think they should focus on their economic messaging and creating a coherent message to respond to the president.

"We have no coherent message," Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, told The New York Times on Sunday. "This guy is psychotic, and there’s so much, but everything that underlines it is white supremacy and hate. There needs to be a message that is clear on at least the underlying thing that comes with all of this."

The DNC elected Minnesota party leader Ken Martin on Saturday, who said during his victory speech they needed to "to rebuild our coalition."

"The policies that we support and the message that we have is not wrong," Martin told the NYT. "It is a messaging problem and a brand problem. Those voters are not connecting our policies with their lives."

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said the messaging should focus on the economy.

"There are people in the middle — and trust me, there’s a lot of them — that wanted costs to go down," Klobuchar said. "Instead, what they see is chaos going up, corruption going up with the firing of the inspector generals, and guess what else is going up? Egg prices."

Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., said Democrats needed to focus their message on lowering costs.

"Within the party, we need to make sure we have a very clear direction to go," he said. "We need to have our own ideas. We’ll never win again if we are just playing defense."

The New York Times reported that former President Obama compared this to when the Democratic Party had lost Congress and the presidency in 2005.

No, they had and still have a message that is repellent to most people.

Democrats still don’t get it.
I hope they never do.

El Rush-Bo often pointed out that democRATs cannot win in the arena of ideas. Most of them would never admit to:

ABORTION FOREVER, TRANNIES IN YOUR KIDS SCHOOLS AND YOUR MILITARY, NO OIL, NO GASOLINE, NO DIESEL, NO NATURAL GAS, NO NUCLEAR POWER, NO GUNS ANYWHERE ANYTIME BY ANYBODY (Except them, of course), NO FREE SPEECH, VAXXES AD INFINITUM...

They had to cheat in 2020, and then, all of the above insanity in capital letters was instituted by the Hussein/Biden Regime in every nook and cranny possible. Instituted to the point where it could not be denied. In many elections, and especially 2024, they could only lie, and run attacking President Trump.

The sound bites and snapshots of Venezuelan thugs in American cities. The massive invasion of illegal trespassers. The cost of everything (due to the attempted destruction of the energy supply). This all could not be hidden. Denied, perhaps, but reality is a b***ch if you are are soulless democRAT.

Odd headline.

The Vice Chair of the democrat party - though I cannot tell if the Vice Chair of the democrat’s party is promoting more vice, or if he is in charge of regulating the vice they already have - is doing this:

“Newly-Elected DNC Vice-Chair David Hogg Wants to Abolish ICE, Defund the Police, and Designate NRA as a Terrorist Group”

The democrats are seriously f*cked up. To fix the problem, they replaced their leadership with new f*cked up leaders.

I would say your comment is the most correct analysis.

They pretty much defined themselves as a bunch of anti-Anerican, weirdo, communists.
The RAT party sould be outlawed and banned within the borders of the USA.

If the rats had any sense they’d get rid of all the grievance crap and try to attract some competent white guys.

They have a message but they don’t dare say what it is.

i guess i don’t understand what’s not clear here: Crockett himself just clearly stated the Democrat message: President Trump is psychotic, and he and all of his supporters are hateful white supremacists.

Notice it’s one big anti-Republican bash fest, rather than any acknowledgement by any of the Demwits that they are a bunch of out-of-touch a-holes?

They did have someone way the flag for Palestine. I think every party should pick a flag to wave as the symbol of their loyalties. Does anyone have a suggestion on which national flag to wave for the Republicans?

Then when people think of the Democrats they’ll think of Hamas, their rapes/murders, and the “from the river to the sea” slogan for the extermination of the Jews. And when they think of the Republicans they’ll think of the national flag they’ve selected to use. What would Betsy Ross choose if she were alive today?
