What happens to the Democratic Party now? (6 Viewers)

[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 only person that the GOP has that comes close is Musk and (thankfully) he’s ineligible to run.

And as the face of the organization which is putting people out of jobs, he is going to be the fall guy for the MAGAs

This has the makings of a Loomis style Saints rebuild for the 2032 Election.

I have to push back. Just a bit.
You’re always gonna have that solid Republican base.
But the GOP isn’t gonna have another candidate where people will buy hats and shirts like Trump does.
JD Vance’s picture isn’t gonna be hanging next to Bear Bryant in an elderly couple’s home like Trump.

Agree 100%

Said many times before that we'll see what Trumpism looks like without Trump

Fingers crossed that it all falls apart because you're right no one else has that 'special sauce' and hold over the base that Trump does

And here’s another aspect.
Trump’s wins in 16 and 24 weren’t huge wins.
Trump didn’t even win the popular vote in 16 and 24 only got it by less than 2 million.

and plenty of people didn't vote for political reasons, didn't vote for policies, didn't vote for a party

They voted for Donald J Trump

We'll see what they do when that's off the table

 

[Optimus Prime]

please no

 

[Saint Jack]

please no

Well, if he relegates the Cowboys to the UFL, he might have my vote!

 

[Saint Jack]

please no

But seriously, Trump ran on an image built since the 80s.
You’re not gonna see a candidate like this again.
Thankfully.
