Here’s Why Democrats’ Feeble Attempts to Moderate Are Doomed to Fail

Has anyone ever told you to lighten up and be more genuine? The best way to connect with people is to be yourself.

Perhaps, instead of constantly railing about how President Donald Trump is “Hitler,” for example, you could enjoy a bite to eat at a local restaurant.

Rather than hoisting a rainbow flag and marching for the cause of letting men invade women’s spaces, you could go get a drink and watch the big game.

Instead of repeating the same tired talking points about how driving cars is going to bring about this ever-elusive Armageddon of climate change, you could go to church and learn that there’s nothing new under the sun.

This isn’t just good advice for life. It’s salient political strategy for a Democratic Party that seems to live on an entirely different planet from commonsense Americans.

Don’t take my word for it. These recommendations come from “several dozen Democratic political operatives and elected officials” who realize that Trump’s presidential election victory in November revealed deep problems with their party. Politico’s Adam Wren got a copy of the recommendations these Democrats came up with, and they’re surprisingly astute.

According to the recommendations (developed in collaboration with the center-left organization Third Way), Democrats have become obsessed with “ideological purity tests,” and should push back “against far-left staffers and groups that exert a disproportionate influence on policy and messaging.”

The document encourages Democrats to “embrace patriotism, community, and traditional American imagery.” It recommends Democrats “show up in unfriendly media spaces and engage with voters outside traditional Democratic strongholds.” It urges candidates to “get out of elite circles and into real communities (e.g., tailgates, gun shows, local restaurants, churches).”

Democrats ran fake blue dog candidates in 2008. They pretended to be fiscal conservatives and pro gun rights. Gaining a majority with Obama, they were sacrificed in 2010 after Obamacare was shoved down our throats with the stolen election of Al Franken.

the dozens of voter disconnects raised by the “Comeback Retreat” are pretty much on target, but there’s absolutely no way in Hades that the Democrat Party will EVER disavow a single one of those disconnects, much less disavow that whole shooting match ...

the Democrat Party has let their insane leftism infiltrate its cancerous tentacles into every aspect and every level of the Party, such that the Party itself has now become nothing more than one gigantic, impossibly incurable hard core leftist cancer ...

Nothing like a Democrat wearing Wrangler jeans, red flannel shirt and a John Deere cap, standing next to a Ford F150 and a hound dog, holding a double barrel shotgun. These kinds of ads always get older conservatives to vote for them in the rural South. Happens just like clockwork.

Let us pray that the Dems don’t listen to this person.

I recall that time. They also ran a handful of war vets too, but most of them are long gone.

LOL! You forgot "a few coyotes tied down on the hood, ready for bounty". Not the animal kind.

That Third Way 'Reconnect' List was pretty dead on except it overlooked the end result should a candidate follow all it's points - they'd resemble a conservative so much they'd either have to change parties or go Independent.

Today's dirty demonrats are brainwashed to the nth degree.

They are not changing only getting worse.

Just like Hezbollah terrorists you can't negotiate with them you have to defeat them at the polls. It's the only way to save the country.

And thank God we have a leader whose mantra is MAGA basically saving the country and making it better.

If we don't document every misdeed they are doing from the border on, we won't get rid of these criminal dems.It has to be done and we have to trounce them in 26 or once again set the stage for even more chaos.

below is a perfect example of where, what, and who we are up against and we already know why they need to be censored and then defeated at the polls:

Whoa... well said.
