What happens to the Democratic Party now? (1 Viewer)

[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..

Putting this here and I agree 100%

Slightly off topic for the thread maybe, but I think the Democrats need to be very loudly and clearly saying that these agencies are essential, that they will need to be and shall be rebuilt, that it will be expensive, and that they'll do everything they can to ensure those profiting from their destruction pay for their rebuilding.

And they need to repeat that message, non stop, every day. They need to establish a narrative; that this is destruction, which will need to be repaired, and those responsible will be paying for it.

Otherwise, the competing narrative, that it's "efficiency" that saves "the taxpayer" money will win out, regardless of truth, and rebuilding will be framed as "inefficiency" and "the return of big government" that costs "the taxpayer".
