To stop Trump, Democrats must reinvent themselves

The 2024 election confirmed the continued erosion of Democratic support among non-college Latino, Black and Asian-American voters. That’s severing the party’s last arterial link to working-class America and cementing its new identity as the party of highly educated professionals and cosmopolitan elites.

The DNC is run by the far left progressives, where seven-in-ten Progressive Left (68%) are White adults, making this group less racially and ethnically diverse than the other Democratic-oriented groups.

Yet, these Dems hold views more extreme racist views than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups....

...as well as general views more extreme than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups.

They live in enclaves in cities, prefer going to museums over going to the range, and think religion is sophistry. Their policies and language all reek of a Superiority Complex.

The change prescribed, is not gonna happen.

The Democrats’ challenge isn’t simply to fight the Trump cult’s hostile takeover of U.S. governing institutions but to offer a credible agenda of their own for political change and public sector reform.

More change,

We wanted MAGA, that which worked.

Trump will for ever remind us of what they did and we should be talking about it too.

Cant help but love The Hill’s message to Democrats

Double Down on Stoopid.

I hope they embrace it fully

Question is, why do the Democrats need to “stop Trump?”

The story should be why the Democrats are exercising a “threat to democracy” with their actions . . .

[13Sisters76]

Those “fit to rule” will ALWAYS seek to enforce their despotism and contempt for the “masses- we serfs.
If we are EVER to finally defeat the democrats, we HAVE maintain our resolve and fervor for every election coming in the future.
Otherwise, they will be back like a bad rash.

The demonrats are commies plain and simple.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

That is the dumbest headline I have ever read in my life.

[cgbg]

There is zero evidence the Democrats have changed their views on any major policy position in the past few years.

There is zero evidence the Democrats will change their views on any major policy position in the next few years.

The writer is a clown—like writing an article arguing if the Democrats became cats they could have kittens.

“Reinvent themselves” = lie harder

[Jane Long]

Good luck ... all they’ve got is killing innocents, importing America hating invaders, gender confusion/mental illness and elites who know what’s good for them, over their own base’s pathetic thinking.

[Parley Baer]

How can this be. I have been reading that Trump is falling in the polls. Can the lamestream media be wrong.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“As President Trump and Congressional Republicans use their slim majorities to try to foist a radical regime change on America, Democrats need to reckon with why they’re watching helplessly from the sidelines. “

The only way to correct from radical change is with radical change. I really think what the democrats do not understand is that they are the radicals, most of this country believes in the constitution and the rule of law.

And hopefully the rat party keeps losing elections in landslides.

The only things they can do are either move to the right, which I don’t see happening, or ramp up the brainwashing of the masses, which appears to NOT be working.

Democrats don’t get that people don’t want their message.

[No name given]

The media is just polling rat party voters.

[escapefromboston]

They have to drop the gay stuff. No one cares that much about it even if they are pro-Gay. Just stop talking about it
Sanders was anti immigration a long time ago. The Dems could adopt that that view and say it’s because it drives down wages of the working class. A lot of republicans are still pro invasion so they can easily use that against the GOP

[nwrep]

Reading between the lines, he is saying Democrats need to nominate a moderate looking white male like Beshear or Shapiro in 2028. No more minority candidates.

[laplata]

And hopefully the rat party keeps losing elections in landslides.

They will.

The Democrats are in permanent “On the Defensive” mode.

We are on Offensive.

Staying on defense is a losing proposition.

[ClearCase_guy]

Democrats can’t beat Trump and the populist right with the discredited progressive playbook they’ve been following since 2016.

It goes back to 2008. It goes back to Obama and his deliberate efforts to divide and weaken America. The Democrats need to disavow Obama. And they won't.

[Telepathic Intruder]

They are literally calling Trump a dictator when he won by free election. Democrats can’t change. They’ll always be liars.
