Most takeaways focused on Democrats’ "faculty lounge" problem of being seen as too judgmental and beholden to their far-left members.

They’re going to “triangulate” even further right while blaming “elite” progressive liberals, who aren’t even the left. :surprised-pikachu:

📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed: Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump, than address the material conditions of the American people.

Democrats: "Let's ignore left wing and independant voters. We'll chase after right wing voters instead."

Right wing voters vote entirely for Republicans. Left wing and independant voters feel abandoned and dont vote.

Democrats: "I don't understand how we could have lost. Let's continue to ignore left wing and independant voters. We'll have to double down on our efforts to get right wing voters.

Right wing voters continued to vote entirely for Republicans. Left wing and independant voters feel abandoned and dont vote.

Democrats: "What the hell happened? We lost yet again? I thought doubling down on the same strategy would have worked. Welp, we have no choice now but to triple down on the same strategy we keep losing with."

“We are losing support in vast swaths of the country, in rural America, in the Midwest, the places where I’m from," Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., told the outlet. "People that I grew up with who now support Donald Trump, who used to be Democrats. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t have the support of these folks, other than we have pushed, in so many ways, these people away from our party."

So they’re moving even further right. The article specifically points to their efforts to appeal to the toxic online male demographic.

Maybe Democrat officials should start committing felonies, instigating insurrections, overturning elections, and raping people.

Since that's what American voters want.

Democrat officials already do that, though they mostly limit the insurrections and overthrown elections to other countries.

Democrats dont need to do anything other then live up to their self proclaimed democracy advocacy and replace First-past-the-post voting in the blue states they control.

But they won't do that... will they?
