Trump won because he talked about the shit folk cared about (economy and jobs). He was lying obviously, but Dems had a more decent candidate and put nothing forward. You have to say what you’ll do, not what you won’t. Dems priority is keeping a moderate grip on selections. They stiffed Bernie and got through coronation of Harris.
Any reasonable candidate and message and they’d win. See Mamdani for more information.
But surely they’ll have a good candidate for next election because they learned right? Yeah no. The DNC seems focussed on ROI for their donors.
Saying that, I’d still vote for them, but this whole blame voters is BS. It won’t change people’s minds. Just remind them that the rank and file as well as the leadership are toxic and reinforce in those people’s heads that they made the correct choice. Telling people they’re wrong is the worst way to persuade people. It gets folks backs up, and they’ll stubbornly argue green is orange. It’s effectively campaigning for the Republicans.
Folk need to understand psychology if they want to be a political activist. Without it, the risk of self-gratification and self-validation is the only achievement.
