We lost that election because both the Republican and Democratic candidates thought pushing right wing ideology was the best tactic. Turns out that only works for one of the party's base.
And all the people not voting against trump.
Nope. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/26/nx-s1-5447450/trump-2024-election-non-voters-coalition
Lol. Bullshit.
I cut this one up awhile ago but it’s bullshit. Probably makes non-voters feel even more self righteous, but it’s bullshit.
If you want to get non-voters to vote, you need to give them a reason to vote. You've just seen that shouting at them and demanding that they vote for someone they don't want to vote for doesn't work, regardless of how severe the consequences are. You're determined to continue along this course of action no matter how many times it fails.
The voters you need are alienated. What will you do to get them back? More of the same is not an acceptable answer, because it has to be clear to you by now that it will never work. Dismissing them entirely and moving to the right hasn't worked either. It just alienates people the party breaks solidarity with in order to chase republican votes, and the republicans it aims to get still vote republican.
If Democrats do not change, they will continue to lose. That's not some petulant tankie demanding perfection. That's someone looking at political reality as it currently stands, assessing the failures of the Democratic Party, and telling you that if they don't change, they will lose.
