The other bigger problem is that the leaders of the party are not listening to their base because they live in a bubble in Washington. When the only important thing is what the donors I’m billionaires in the Democratic Party are telling them to do..

[SuperMogul]

The Democrats just don't get it, it's not the messaging. The American people are tired of the liberal woke agenda!!

[thelarson]

Stay with identity politics. He’s black, gay, and a celebrity. Diddy!

Kamala 2028! I know she can finish 17th in the primaries just like last time.

Former Democrat Black Male voter here who in the words of the great NFL player vow "never to ever vote Democrat again😊".

[gingerbeer]

This Democratic official failed us. Why are we listening to him?

[dannymccarty]

We didn't choose her, you guys did. We rejected her 4 years ago! You handed Trump 4 more years. All because you wanted an insider. Now we all gotta suffer because you guys are as out of touch as Kamila.

[shaystern]

you lost the presidency, the senate, the house, the from scratch?

[AR-kihg]

That's why we call them fake news instead of getting to the point and calling them what they are, out of touch and very delusional.

[justineromero]

You know Trump is old and may not complete his 2nd terms, so cosidered researching the craziness of VP JD Vance.

Here's a suggestion for the party they probably need because people's memories are so damn short:
Don't address a ballooning cost of living with "lay off the avocado toast" until it's too late.

[LilyWasHereMB]

There is no such thing as a "Democratic strategist, " only Democratic reactionist.

[Sedona-Faise]

Maybe ditch Wall Street and tech and come back to us. We all left for the same reasons.

[carbonfiber]

Americans would rather eat steak than word salads.

[irishvirusgaming]

i'll say this as a current trump supporter, you guys had me with bernie sanders in 2015 but when you shafted him the first time for hilary i gave up. Anyone who stuck around for when it happened again, how did you not see the writing on the wall?

[Jerry-rgmx]

Guy still doesnt get it. We dont want goverment to cater to us. We want goverment to get out our pocket and get out of our way.

[TkoddaLee]

😂😂😂 we going to boycott u guys now can’t wait until legacy media dies out

[Didididkdkdj]

The billion Harris lined her pockets with could have helped us.

When two thousand twenty eight phases herself in, I'm certainly wanting any female candidate who really matters. It ain't the party that may really matter as both the Dems and Repubs along with the indie people are sending out people who are not a right person for a United States Presidential type candidate. We need better candidates than the recent ones. The next time, though, a female runs for United States President she may win and become the POTUS. The actual political classes don't matter. I'm an independent voter as well.

MSM media think it's only "working class" that are leaving the Dem party, turned off by Dem party. I have a Masters Degree and I'm leaving Dem Party for the same reasons.
