What happens to the Democratic Party now?

[Heathen]

I’m sure much of us are having 2016 flashbacks this morning with a sick feeling to our stomachs..

2 of the last 3 elections Democrats have lost to a far right demagogue

Harris didn’t get close in many states to even Biden’s performance. We could very well lose the Presidency, Senate AND House depending on results the next few days…..

What went wrong?
What could’ve been done better?
What can we change in the future to ensure voters are motivated like they were when Obama was elected?

Democrats have no choice but to admit there’s a huge problem with some aspect of their platform— and to do a deep introspection of what’s going wrong..

The democrats are the most useless party. Trump serves up lobs daily and the democratic leadership says nothing. Absolutely gutless and useless. Americans can't afford housing, health-care and food but we can pay for Israel's war? We can issue insurance for global tanker traffic to our adversaries? Tech bros want to force data centers on poor rural America driving low income Americans out of their houses, costing us all higher utilities. And for what? So we can lose our jobs to a god damn computer program?

Democrats have flipped 9 seats in state legislative special elections under Trump while Republicans are at zero

Since the start of 2025, Democrats have racked up wins in special elections for state legislative seats, giving the party hope for the midterm elections.

I would absolutely love it if the TX redistricting backfired on (R) in a spectacular way
