The hubris of the Democratic party establishment + consultants is just… wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more poorly executed and inaccurate RCA summary. They are so far up their own assholes that they’re making themselves sneeze.
Holy shit, that second bullet point. The hundreds of thousands of people donating small sums of money are somehow less representative of the electorate than the two hundred people donating over a million dollars each, because reasons (just not mathematically sound ones)
The second bullet point is itself a paradox. By definition hundreds of small donations would represent the electorate better than individual large donors.
Is this verified? If so, congratulations, Democratic party leadership. Once again, you’re planning on doing the exact opposite of what you should be doing. Their leftist voter turnout is going to plummet again while they try court Republicans—who often vote by party rather than policy.
The party should "embrace-patriotism, community, and traditional American imagery
Playing into nostalgia and nationalism. A strategy taken straight from the other party’s playbook.
Democrats should “ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests” and “move away from the dominances small-dollars donors whose preferences may not align with the broader electorate”
Condemning progressiveness, leaving their policies either to do nothing or slide the country even more into conservatism.
Abandoning their actual “small-dollars” donors (constituents) whose preferences may not align with the broader electorate the corporate donors.
They should “push back against far-left staffers and groups that exert a disproportionate influence on policy-and messaging”
Going to screw progressive politicians yet again, leaving only moderates and conservatives.
Candidates should “get out of elite circles and into real communities (e.g., tailgates, gun shows, local restaurants, churches)”
Actively and deliberately court voters from conservative hotspots.
The party needs to “own the failures of Democratic governance in large cities and commit to improving local government.”
Either this means the goal is deregulation, or that they don’t plan on addressing issues outside of rural areas. Maybe both.
Well, the Democrats won’t be the ones to do it.

The Democrats are themselves cancer.

“Meet me in the middle,” says the leopard.
The Geronocrats and MAGATs are the foolish clown that hops into the mouth of the beast.
People really need to show up to the primaries from now on. Tired of this shit.
Do they still have super delegates?
This is how you continue to lose. The first bullet point is correct. The rest is fail.
The first dot point is incorrect. They should not embrace that right wing nonsense.
There’s something to be said for the very idea of We The People. Given the current state of things it can be a unifier for punching up.
I’m not saying hang a flag on your pickup truck. Just know the constitution and home much Elon is tearing through it with that chainsaw of his.
Correct. Patriotism should be the result, not the means.
