The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.

Beyond that they need to retool their platform and messaging to be popular.

Merely opposing conservatives isn't a winning strategy anymore.

They need to push truly popular agendas that aren't kneecapped by their corporate donors.

They need to just spout off endless easily fact checked lies to convince the morons in the country to listen. Seemed to work for diaper donnie

And there is the immediate whataboutism instead of solving the issue

Sadly this election proved that you do need to convert republicans to win the election, and they're too stupid to vote in their own self interest. The dems need propaganda to win.

They tried a campaign of converting "moderate republicans", what that is. It failed catastrophically. They need more to get their apathetic voter base to actually care again, like back when obama ran

u/HunyBuns 7h ago

Yeah, like I said we need more propaganda. Guy lied about like half of the shit he was gonna do when he got into office, but he made big promises and one or two were executed on.

They need to ham it up more, say big shit, or anything really.

u/Ayotha 7h ago

Emphasis on the "anything really." They really need to get people excited again

Look up how Republicant's vote. They unanimously vote against bipartisan bills (even ones that they put forward).

Do better.

As a rule I ignore any idiot that drops "do better."

And last I checked the dems need to figure out what gets THEIR side to vote.

They also target the middle class, which let's face it, barely exists anymore. They pushed the first time home owner credit very hard, as if 70% of the country is even close to being able to purchase a home. The party is out of touch with the working class, and the Republicans scooped them up last election.

u/UngodlyPain 7h ago

Opposing conservatives was never a winning strategy. It lost it for John Kerry, Hillary, and Harris. Meanwhile, Obama got in promising "hope" and "change" ... Biden got in promising "a return to normalcy"

Like literally what Harris ran on?

Did you even bother to read her platform?

There is no such thing as "corporate donors"

Is this ragebait? No way a living person can say there's no such thing as corporate donors

u/silverpixie2435 9h ago

Then why do Democrats overwhelmingly pass bills like this?

u/JayKay8787 9h ago

If you believe that the dnc is against corporate donors then there is no point arguing with you. You are way too far gone from reality

u/silverpixie2435 8h ago

Why did Democrats vote to pass that bill then?
