Dems need to find a new introduction, losing more bigly. Soo sad.

It’s been more than 10 months since Democrats were crushed by an election that cost them not only the White House but both chambers of Congress. After the humiliating loss, Democrats vowed to change. They promised a new message and a revamped push to connect with voters who had abandoned their party. But skeptics within the party argue there has been little movement, and their frustration is showing.

“It’s like watching a family of cockroaches who have just been blasted by a can of Raid in the middle of the night and the lights are now on,” said John Morgan, a prominent Democratic donor and injury lawyer, describing the state of his party.

“They are discombobulated,” Morgan said, echoing an exasperation shared among more than a dozen Democratic operatives and donors interviewed by The Hill. “How has the Democratic Party changed since the last election? Amazingly we’ve gotten worse,” said Democratic strategist Chris Kofinis. “No message. No vision. No strategy.”

“The Democratic Party is two parties, socialists and benevolent capitalists,” Morgan said. “Both factions are opposed to each other, as demonstrated in New York City. … The problem they have is each message will **** off the other faction.”

They are doubling down on all the insane culture war stuff that got them unelected in the first place. It's like they don't want to be in politics any more.

An NBC News analysis has revealed that Democratic voter registration dropped by 1.3 percentage points from 2024 to 2025, now standing at 37%. Recent analysis of voter registration data has shown a significant rise in registered independents and third-party members. The shift comes amid growing Republican appeal among younger, less politically engaged voters, posing challenges for Democrats.

Look at what the Dem machine does to any elected official in their party who is close to being moderate, they treated Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema like war criminals. They're treating John Fetterman the same way. The current Dem party gets their energy by rallying their drug crazed troops around hatred of Trump. What happens in 2028? They probably need Trump to run for a 3rd term to keep their base energized.

I personally hope a more moderate, sane, non-lying conman gets elected next time - regardless of their party.

How well the democrats do in the midterms, the next election, or far into the future, depends on how they reorganize and, in part, how well or poorly Trump does in this term. His approval ratings are down , the unemployment and inflation are up, and he has not delivered on his peace promises. His main achievement is deportation - but that only goes so far, and many will discover that after it is over, it had no bearing on America's real problems, which are the enormous debt and our own social and crime problems.

Trump spends way too much time on revenge politics. While his base might enjoy it, everyone else is souring on it because it distracts from real issues, and Trump's disinterest in paying down the debt and his indulgent spending and grift might sour even a few of his supporters, as they lose their jobs or farms or health insurance.
