Dems, donors lived it up at swanky hotels trying to figure out why party is losing working class: ‘This is embarrassing’

Top Democratic operatives and donors have been hobnobbing in “luxury hotels” while trying to figure out why the party is shedding men and the working class — moves that have liberals have slammed as out of touch.

In one instance, liberal super PAC Future Forward hosted a gathering in the Ritz-Carlton resort in wealthy Half Moon Bay, California, to apprise donors on what went wrong in 2024. Prominent figures such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) were reported in attendance.

Some of the elite gatherings featured appetizers like short-rib tostones, mini lobster rolls, beef tenderloin and other expensive hors d’oeuvres, according to reporting from the New York Times.

Among the strategy discussions was a $20 million effort codenamed SAM, “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan,” which is working toward stemming Democrats’ hemorrhaging of young men.

Some of its recommendations include purchasing more ads on video games and changing the party’s language towards men. SAM really underscored the need for Democrats to stop having such a “moralizing tone” toward men, according to the report.

Better beer and burgers in peace than hoity-toity appetizers where there is strife.

I met at a loss at how they could bring people back into the party. Whatever they come up with will be a lie.

So they haven’t figured out that pandering to black women turns off all men. I hope they spend millions more on high priced gatherings to contemplate how they can square the circle.

This only revealed even more how out of touch democrats are with mainstream America.

They’re not the party of the people. They’re the party of the pampered, self-important elite.

“Speaking with American Men”


Wasn’t that what Tim Walz was supposed to do?

Tim Walz struck out, so he’s been replaced by David Hogg.

Just a spin of Proverbs 17:1.

Give King Solomon the credit!

SAM really underscored the need for Democrats to stop having such a “moralizing tone” toward men

What would Davy Crockett have to say about that?

He’d say something like “Make darn sure you’re right, and then go ahead.”

Lies is all they have. The purpose of this expensive get together was to come up with new ways to lie to trick the gullible into voting for them. They’re not capable of telling the truth. They still don’t get it.

Perhaps an apt analogy would be the local church congregation. Experience shows that even extrodinary or creative efforts seldom succeed in returning a parishioner back to the fold once the parishioner leaves the congregation. Time and effort is better spent attracting new members.

Not just the Dims. International organizations that supposedly deal with poverty, such as te World Bank, usually hold focused-group discussions or coordination meeting in one of the best, most luxurious and expensive hotels in the poor country to discuss how to reduce poverty and inequality in that country.

The Dems are gonna butch it up a bit and eat lots of mini-lobster rolls at the Ritz Carlton. My guess is that with one lobster you make 15 mini-lobster rolls. So you have to eat all this filler just to eat one lobster.
