Post-match: So what is next for the Democratic Party? (Post 2024)

Which is why I keep saying you have to target the cultural worldview of the conservative base - a worldview that is inherently misogynistic, anti-LGBT+, Islamophobic, anti-science, etc.

 

No, you have to disabuse the left of its demand for purity. Because that demand for purity is nothing but a political handcuff that harms the Dem's ability to win elections.

If Dems go on Rogan (or elsewhere), they're not sanctioning or adopting his views (good or bad). They're hijacking his audience to appeal for their votes. The left doesn't understand this.

 

That bolded part gets me especially the way they express shock and dismay after the way they, following Trump spewed it out first.

Face it they’re being led by a fat 14 year old schoolyard bully.

 

Then you are addressing a symptom, rather than the disease.

 

No, I'm giving practical advice to win the next election.

You're trying to change society.

 

Therefore, both are needed - one for short term and one for long term.

 

Personally, I'm not at all worried about 2028 IF it is a free and fair election (that's a big IF). The next 4 years are going to be so chaotic and detrimental to the country that, just like in 2020, there will be a massive backlash to Republicans. Furthermore, the orange Hitler-loving felon is now the oldest President-elect in history. Without the cult leader at the top of the ticket, and given the chaos the country will be in, IF it is a free and fair election Democrats will win ... easily.

 

I agree. The pendulum back and forth between the Republicans and the Democrats has been going on forever. The only thing that maybe be changing as we go deeper into the 21st century is that the pendulum seems to take only 4 years to get to the other side instead of the eight years it did in the past.

 

Famous last words.

 

I feel I have a pretty good track record - it's not perfect, but it's pretty good

 

I agree it will take far longer than four to fix and that broader social changes are important. That's why I presented the solution I did because it is a long-term solution that addresses the core cultural problem in America that prevents us from entering the 21th century (I was going to say 20th century just because of how much catching up we have to do).

Not sure who produced this video, but it is interesting to note Musk's ability to get information out, especially contradicting information depending on who it was targeted to, quickly and efficiently.

We can dispute a lot of what happened or didn't happen but i think Musk's involvement and the use of so much disinformation would have beaten any Democratic challenger.

 

Why the creation of a viable 3rd party that takes the best of bothsides and mashes them into one, young man! Guarding the social safety net, looking out for the rights of immigrants, the LGBTQ community, POC and women. Protecting the environment and combating global warming. Keeping public education strong. And then mix that all with...Trumpism. A marriage made in cable talk hell to think of it.

 

We won't need elections, remember?

 

I definitely remember! I'm the one packing my bags and leaving.

 

I don't think it's as monumental as you think. Superficially, sure. At the core, nope.
