Murphy on Democrats’ losses: ‘Our tent is too small’
The Hill ^ | 11/10/2024 | Tara Suter

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) offered his thoughts on Democrats’ losses in this year’s elections in a Sunday thread on the social platform X.

“We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA,” Murphy said in the thread. “We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small.”

The Connecticut Senator noted multiple issues he thinks the American left is struggling with when it comes to reaching voters, including having “never fully grappled with the wreckage of fifty years of neoliberalism” and moving “past the way people are feeling (alone, impotent, overwhelmed) and straight to uninspiring solutions.”

“We don’t listen enough; we tell people what’s good for them,” Murphy said.

Yeah— that tent is overflowing with Marxists— and thus “too small” in Murphy’s stupid parlance! Well said!

RE: Our tent is too small.

But thousands under Bidenomics found daily life a survival struggle in their own small tents.

There’s so many reasons being stated as to why the Democrats lost big time.

If all these people are so sure of what the problems were in this election, Why didn’t they make adjustments during the campaign to deal with those issues?

They can’t change who they are. Far too many of their voters have swallowed the extreme left ideology. They are beyond woke and any shift to the so called “center” will alienate millions of them. The Democrats are in much bigger trouble than we all thought.

“Because your tent only consists of Marxists.”

Exactly, and unless they can fake being Americans better than this time, they will keep losing.

Marxists and minority culture groups. Trans is their new “civil rights” to heck with black Americans. They are depending on a group that cant even vote in elections.
