Pritzker: We Don’t Need to Moderate to Win Working-Class Voters, ‘The Problem in the Last Election Was Messaging’
Breitbart ^ | 03/01/2025 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/01/2025 9:53:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) said that Democrats shouldn’t “change the fundamental policies of the Democratic Party to move to the right to try to address” their problems with working-class voters because “The problem in the last election was messaging.”

Co-host Ariana DeBose asked, “[W]orking-class voters have historically been a Democratic stronghold, until the last election, when either they voted for MAGA or they stayed home. Trump dominated issues on, like, trade, immigration, no taxes on tips, that sort of a thing. Do you think that Democrats have lost touch with the working-class voters, and do you have any suggestions as to how they could potentially start to remedy that?”

“The problem in the last election was messaging.”

Translation: “We have to find a new way to fool our voters.”

Another case of: How can we fool them today.


Their problem is their “fool them” machine is broken, and is almost certainly irreparable.

If we have clean elections, most DIMocRATs will be gone. End electronic voting, end electronic voting and end no ID required.

Trump didn’t “just win.” He eviscerated any semblance of what was once known as the Democrat party. We reached a stunning national consensus -— we have not lived in anything resembling the nation that was envisioned by our Founders. That is about to be reversed, dramatically evidenced in 2024’s presidential election when a broad coalition voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump.

<><>Dems were rejected coast to coast,
<><>Republicans won majorities in 31 out of 50 states
<><>Trump’s big victories: Wy (72.3%), WVa (70.1%), N/Dk (67.5%), Idaho (66.8%), Ok (66.1%).

<><>Ohio Sen Sherrod Brown, working-class champion, toppled by a Republican
<><>Biden’s party is increasingly dominated by elite voters.
<><>Pa Democrat Sen Bob Casey lost, but refused to concede,
<><>Trump Won More Black Voters Than Any Republican in 48 Years—
<><>Trump won 101 Chicago precincts-—home to high numbers of city workers,
<><>Trump won 22% of the Chicago vote-—increased from 2020’s 16%

<><>Pelosi’s own deep-blue S/Francisco base saw a 7-point swing to Trump.

<><>Trump-backed Republican takes Alaska’s only House seat.

<><>pitching for Harris, Obama is wrong about Trump, a-g-a-i-n.

<><>Since 1980, no candidate has done better.
<><>Trump won 64% of rural voters according to exit polls.
<><>The previous best was 61% – set by Trump in 2016.
<><>Dems 6 points over Trump in NJ, is their closest surge in three decades.

<><>YouGov poll saw 57% aged 18-29 w/ favorable views of Trump, a 19 point increase.
<><>Trump gains among 18-29’ers account for 16% of the 2024 electorate.
<><>Young people gave Trump victory, a profound, historic generational realignment.

And there you have Democrats’ 2024 debt-ridden $2 billion collapse, up close.

For some strange reason, the ‘message’ that men can become women and must be allowed to compete against them in sporting contests, and be welcomed into their bathrooms and locker rooms doesn’t resonate with the average sane American voter.

Or that a persons skin color and fluid genders is more important than competence...I could go on and on.

The only way to reconnect with the working class voters is to eject the Progressives from the Party.

You can find a list of logical fallacies online. I don’t know if anyone has ever published, what I call, emotional fallacies.

The biggest one of these is that everyone thinks they are moderate, in the center, and that most people believe like they do

The rats have not moderated one bit. As I see it they have decided all they have to do is cheat just a little bit more. Despite a Republican presidential landslide they came within a few seats of stealing the House. Cheat just a bit more and they are back in power.

Tell the idiots that they need to return to God and stop
sinning. Only God can help them to govern morally.

They could gain God’s Peace, if with some humility, they choose Good and not Evil.

“The problem in the last election was messaging.”

My favorite part was when people said Kamala might have lost due to the far left positions she espoused in 2019 and the liberal talking heads, totally befuddled, were like, "But she didn't take those positions this time!" as if the internet never existed.
