Who do you think could lead the DNC back to power?

They don't need a savior. At this pace the US will be a total wreck in 4 years, and anyone without the 'R' behind their name will win, much like when 'W' aka "the shrub" destroyed the US during his era. McCain didn't have a prayer.

 

IMOHO, I do not think any Democrat could bring the DNC back to their heydays of 2006-2010. They have gone too far to the left leaving the more moderate Democrats behind. I anticipate that many that are leaving the party will join the Libertarian party or the GOP. I have been predicting that the Libertarian party will eventually surpass the DNC as the second largest party and relegate the DNC to third party status. I expect that the final straw will be when they run AOC as the 2028 DNC Presidential Candidate. The AOC/Sanders Hate Trump tours and the Schumers Brownshirts ambush tactic are leading the DNC down that path.

 

If AOC becomes the face of the Democrats then they will be out of power for a generation.

Ocasio-Cortez takes on assertive new role as Democratic anger grows

 

I'll take that bet!

 

That would be the greatest act of mass suicide since Waco!

 

There is a lot of disagreement because there is no 'one-size fits all'.

There is actually a 'two sizes fits all'.

 

Newsom's negatives are far and wide, but Harris has a new box to check:
#1 - she can check the box for blowing a billion and a half on her campaign and no one knows where it went, and no one is asking.

 

If she had thrown away the whole country she would not have known or cared,
because she has repeatedly said she is 'unburdened'.


What worries me is how anyone voted for her. I saw RFK Jr. as a good alternative.

 

She may have an issue. For decades public opinion surveys have indicated popular support for a more progressive tax system.

 

The Democrats need a white male combat veteran who is married to his first wife, and who attends church regularly.

 

Yes, but the democrat version of that at present is tax and start wars.

I did trace the history of the war in Ukraine and Biden did contribute to starting it, giving the go ahead (atta boy) in
Feb 2014 for regime change.

And along with Congress in 2021 approving the weapons needed to make it a hot war which arrived
in Feb 2022, which reached the UAF so Trump was technically correct to say Ukraine started the war because
they fired the first artillery shells. Lots of them.

 

Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine did not invade Russia. Nothing justified the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

 

Buttigieg may be as close as they can get.

 

I think the calculus is different. The baby boomers whose parents were exposed to the uncertainties of WW2 are going out to pasture. Shummer is losing it, McConnel is out, Trump is the last of the Mohicans. The senile place holders are being forced into retirement from the House and Senate.
Right now the fight is over what kind of America will replace the old one.
The democrats have two years to come up with a message.
Republicans are cutting government spending, headcount, and getting our trade balance in order.

Maybe we should also see how much of the vital materials
sold by the Democrat Presidents we can claw back.

And get back some of our manufacturing capability.

 

Tampon Tim didn't do it??

 

The Republicans will discover what they discovered when Reagan was president: it is not possible to cut government spending and employment without cutting programs most Americans want.

 

The Democrats also need to get the silliness out of their message. They should stick to economic issues and leave social issues alone.

 

I agree with what you said. But I have a novel idea on this. That Trump will lead the democrats back into power or at least be the cause. That’s because the midterms are a referendum on a sitting president’s first two years in office. Just watch Trump’s overall job performance. I expect come November 2026 Trump’s overall job approval with be down into the lower 40’s.


2010 Obama had a 44% overall job approval, the republicans gained 63 house seats and regained control of the house.

2018 Trump had a 41% overall job approval, the democrats gained 42 house seats and regained control of the house.

2022 Biden had a 42% overall job approval, the republicans gained 14 house seats and regained control of the house.


Perhaps the democrats don’t need a message or a leader. That is if Trump overall job approval declines into the lower 40’s. All the democrats need to do is be there as an alternative. I advise watching Trump’s overall job approval numbers, they’ll let you know how well or bad the democrats will do in 2026. Not a new leader nor a new message. 2026 midterms will be solely a referendum on Trump first two years of his second term.

 

Most people know if the Democrats or establishment Republicans gain power,
the economy will crash and then things will be very different.

For one thing we will stop debating about which war to start next because we
won't be able to afford one.

 

It's pretty bad when the brain damaged guy makes the most sense in a whole party.

 

Democrats are not threatening Canada, Greenland, Denmark, and Panama with war. Trump is.

 

You're on. The DNC is getting more fragmented by the day. They are now looking for AOC to take a leadership role. The more they move towards the Progressives the more moderates the leave behind. When Schumer gets to centrist for the DNC you know there isn't much left to work with.

 

I don't think democrats have it in them to separate themselves from being socialists. Driving their boat with the economic issues is integrally linked to their social design in the first place.
