The fucking Democrats need to stand up for being Democrats. Don’t water ourselves down for republicans. We need to be better at getting our message out. There is no excuse for people only hearing republican bullshit. That is the issue. How did people not hear what Harris was saying. We need to be pounding people with our message all day long, everyday. We need to confront republican lies all day long, everyday. Democrats need to be for the people. Republicans never hand wring over anything they do. We need to focus on getting our message out across the country. Every election is up for grabs. People are making all these donations so Democrats can spread their message. Stop focusing on celebrities and focus on the people. Stop being wimpy. We had a great candidate. The republicans are fierce. We didn’t lose because we were woke. That’s what being a democrat is. Own it. Don’t get lost in the weeds.
Dear Fucking News, I lived in the 1950's. You missed some important facts. Europe and Asia were blown up by WWII, which ended in 1945. America was the only country in position to manufacture products. The rest of the world bought stuff from us. That's why Dad went out to work while Mom was able to stay home to raise the kids and run the house. It's not like that anymore. I lived in a family of 2 parents and 2 children. My dad made $50 a week. But consumer goods were a lot cheaper back then.
You don't need to take a page from Trump or Fox. Just take ALL the pages from FDR. Promise exactly what he promised, explain it as carefully as he did in the Fireside Chats, then FULFILL THE PROMISES as he did. That's why he got elected 4 times and could have been elected a dozen more times if he had lived. He's the ONE AND ONLY POLITICIAN IN OUR HISTORY who solved problems instread of making problems.
How do you communicate anything to an electorate that can’t be bothered to read the numerous articles on the real reason eggs are expensive or take the time to google what a tariff is and who pays for it. It’s almost as if they actually voted for other reasons such as racism, misogyny and muh guns.
Disappointing thread of comments so far. Many opinions, few facts supporting them.
Does anyone doubt that the Democratic Party needs a new leadership? I have supported Ben Wikler for years (money where mouth is) and would vote for him now if I could.
We must somehow develop a communication strategy and attract financial and human investments across all media. The oligarchic right can drown out any message right now that dares to compete with Murdoch/Fox, Sinclair and the army of online disinformers. We must find talents that communicate plainly and with the ability to entertain as well. Politics for many people is a contact sport.
The hills to climb are steep and I've just scratched the surface. But I have contributed many $ and spent much time recruiting voters, canvassing (maybe an archaic activity?), and more. Snarky comment threads are just dust to me.
What's the matter, Wes? Was my reply to your mistaken assumption that I'm not a programmer too much for you? You boys are hilarious. You know what I don't have to assume about you? You have never handled one of these machines other than possibly to vote on one, and yoh don't know procedures for handling them in my state. I do know that.
How about instead of vague claims that I'm being too unspecific to warrant a response to the pre-existing conversation, you instead respond to the claims of the actual election experts from any of the various "Duty to Warn" letters currently circulating?
I suspect it's because you are prepared to Snopes your way out of any legitimate conversation on the matter and your willingness to ignore my assertion regarding the actual path to authentication through hand recounts establishes that you are not interested in the truth.
I'm sick of your kind and the threat you pose to my last hope for democracy... whatever you are.
I think the only thing that will dislodge maga at this point is another catastrophe. Could be another pandemic, economic collapse or war. Unfortunately could go either way, e.g, a Reichstag fire. We’ll see in the ‘26 midterms.

Biden would have won... but for a lack of loyalty in his so called " base".
Loyalty lost this election... loyalty is conviction.
Sorry, but you can't sink a boat with a lack of wind. An excess, yes. The sailors might starve in the doldrums, though.
Great ideas!

Ninety-two percent of Black women from all socioeconomic backgrounds understood the assignment.
White people have to own up to this. Those weren’t OUR relatives out there voting for the orange moron.
Which is also why we Black women aren’t going to engage in any more direct action until the majority gets their act together.
This is good
yes, this....THIS....ALL OF THIS, and more, may the gawdFDR shine his sprit upon us
You don’t beat the fuckers by becoming the fuckers.

Dear heart, I was a programmer when you were not yet old enough to shit a diaper. You have a nice evening now. Enjoy your fantasy.
We should just send them this article.
