No. Dems lost because they didn't talk like normal people and the only message the VAST majority of people got about them was from Republicans. Their only channel was the Sunday shows. This is the right strategy, let's see if they can execute.

No. Dems lost because white people, who vote majority GOP every election since the civil rights act (guess why), will sacrifice their own rights to uphold white supremacy. EVERY other demo got Dem messaging just fine and fully supported the extremely qualified and progressive candidate.

Not saying we shouldn't criticize anybody. We should always expect more. We should be realistic though. There's zero chance of universal healthcare without 60 votes in the Senate, presidency, and 218 representatives in the house

Anyone with a results based outlook is going to be at odds with the DNC since 1996. Let's not rewrite history and think the Obama nomination and the direct funding model was something that leadership was happy about in the moment.

That's a big part of the problem, yes! If you can't see the alienation of the big tent approach and who the Democratic base actually is, if you don't realize the actual impact of turnout that centrist policies diminish, you aren't speaking towards victory. You're just another roadblock.

I'm not against that. But if people campaign more like Mamdani, they will be more likely to win. Regardless of their policies. Policy matters, but showing you are listening to people and actually care about them, that means a lot more in my opinion.

I think you have way too high an opinion of the average voter. Only 1/3 of the people in this country can name their senators and Rep. Most people had no clue what Trump or Harris were actually running on. If they did, they would not have voted for project 2025.

Have you ever listened to a Democrat? They sound like robots following a script supplied by a consultant that looked at polling. They should say what they think and say it with conviction. There are a few that do, and they are getting a little better, but they should stop calling things distractions

Some do, some do not, why I asked you for a specific example. The whole "distraction" stuff is coming from the same consultants that are doing this "dark money" deal. You seem a bit confused about that.

Don't need 60 votes if Democrats use 50 votes to get rid of an archaic Senate rule that sets an impossible barrier in an archaic legislative branch that gives too much power to low population red states.

That is a totally fair argument actually. And they should absolutely consider that. I will actually be surprised if Republicans don't do it first. On the other hand, they will just do whatever they want, leave it in place, and then Ds will follow the rules.

Republicans have already gotten rid of the filibuster for anything they care about (Judicial appointments). They'll do it again if they ever actually needed to pass something they couldn't jam into an omnibus bill and for once "moderate" Democrats couldn't be bullied into caving.
