Comments on this video are funny

The guy described the democratic position for 3 issues, and everyone is saying “finally someone with common sense”

Democrats really have lost complete control of their party messaging

David Hogg? A gun-grabber is just what the party needed right now!

2/2/2025 12:18:07 PM

I'm strongly considering grabbing my guns.

2/2/2025 12:56:51 PM

Lol, doubling down on losing, I see

2/2/2025 3:33:51 PM

Is this "party" not rebranded yet?

2/2/2025 11:19:47 PM

^^^^ If David Hogg got "punch me in the face" tattooed on his forehead, it wouldn't make his face any more punchable.

First 50 state protests were fairly successful today. There’s been other protests as well. And democrat politicians have been there with the people at many of them.

First good sign I’ve seen since the election

Heard this the other day...not from this source, this is just a link from google I got now

Apparantly like 36% favorable, like 60% unfavorable for democrats. What went so wrong? Is it cause we are smarmy and think we know it all?

2/5/2025 9:52:12 PM

I would say at least a portion of it is having a base which is capable of being self-critical of the organization. Having an unfavorable view doesn't directly translate into voting outcomes, although I'm sure it doesn't help.

I wonder if anyone around here has listed, in detail, why the general public might have a bad opinion of the Democratic Party... probably not

I’ve never been impressed with Hakeem Jeffries, and this solidifies it:

" Oh boy, there's more. At a presser minutes ago, Jeffries says he's powerless: JOURNALIST: To what extent will Dems withhold votes in the negotiations? JEFFRIES: Repubs control trifecta, it’s THEIR govt. What leverage do we have? We’re going to continue to try to find bipartisan common ground..."

What should we do if repubs control all levers of gov? I told someone its pretty much a waiting game until people wake up to say i told you so and got ridiculed. "Told ya so...great rebuttal"

I guess i just assume at some point people will wake up?

2/24/2025 11:36:13 PM

Step one, democrats replace Jeffries with Fetterman.

2/25/2025 4:27:11 AM

You want a Senator to be the House Dem leader?

^^be a politician, speak out name noise, highlight the unpopular thing they are doing, weaken them in the public eye with a primary goal of making them look at polling and change what they're doing and a secondary goal of winning back at least the house in two years. As a bare minimum.

2/25/2025 6:57:40 AM

You want a stroke victim to be House Dem leader?

you guys are wound a little too tight but thats okay.

Explain the joke. That will be sure to make it funny.

2/25/2025 7:52:17 AM

the joke was... making a joke suggestion? like on purpose? idk

2/25/2025 7:57:07 AM

I didn't recognize a joke, or get it now that I know it's supposed to be one, or understand how responded with a simple question is wound to tight? But fair enough, gives me a chance to use this gif at least

" New @playbookdc: Last month, a group of moderate Democratic consultants, campaign staffers, elected officials & party leaders gathered in Loudoun County, Virginia, for a retreat where they plotted their party’s comeback. We got their takeaways."

Quote :

" Those gathered then laid out 20 solutions for how Democrats can regain working-class trust and reconnect with them culturally. More than a few stuck out to Playbook: • The party should "embrace patriotism, community, and traditional American imagery"; • Democrats should "ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests" and "move away from the dominance of small-dollar donors whose preferences may not align with the broader electorate"; • They should "push back against far-left staffers and groups that exert a disproportionate influence on policy and messaging" ; • Candidates should "get out of elite circles and into real communities (e.g., tailgates, gun shows, local restaurants, churches)"; and • The party needs to "own the failures of Democratic governance in large cities and commit to improving local government.""

these people are ridiculous

3/2/2025 2:03:38 PM

I don't really have a major issue with those. We should absolutely be looking to the Dems that overperformed last election on guidance for how Dems to win in 2026/28

Quote :

" The party should "embrace patriotism, community, and traditional American imagery"; "

Themes that most Americans identify with? Like the whole notion of "City on the Hill" isn't necessarily a bad one to lean into.

Quote :

"Democrats should "ban far-left candidate questionnaires and refuse to participate in forums that create ideological purity tests""

Purity tests are terrible and just leads to infighting. Focus on the issues that most americans respond to. How much time was wasted arguing with people on the left about how Harris was handling Gaza with Biden when those people were just looking for an excuse to not vote.

Quote :

" They should "push back against far-left staffers and groups that exert a disproportionate influence on policy and messaging" ;"

Again, the focus should be on what most americans respond to and what messages reach them.

Quote :

"Candidates should "get out of elite circles and into real communities (e.g., tailgates, gun shows, local restaurants, churches)"; and"

Absolutely! People like Jeff Jackson are amazing at this! Get out of echo chambers or what many Americans view as elite circles.

Quote :

"The party needs to "own the failures of Democratic governance in large cities and commit to improving local government."""

Yes! I'm not saying cities need to be run with Republican ideals, but holy hell, look at zoning laws in SF that just make the housing crisis worse.

3/2/2025 2:16:00 PM

you don’t win elections by becoming Republican Lite

3/2/2025 2:40:39 PM

The moderate dems overperformed compared to the more left ones, so you actually do.

It's that my ideal stop for the party? Of course not, but winning is critical at this stage.

3/2/2025 2:55:50 PM

Also, what part of that is Republican-lite? Do you think Jeff Jackson is that?

^^ I’ve been at a tailgate when a politician showed up to campaign

they were (rightly) booed for pandering

^ not going further to the center. that failed spectacularly in 2024.

3/2/2025 7:09:24 PM

We are dealing with armies of the stupid.

Seems naive to think they're eager to jump on board with your most progressive policy positions.

Not being objectively evil and terrible would be a huge upgrade right about now.

3/2/2025 7:35:48 PM

Harris didn’t run to the left of Biden, who won more than 5 million votes than she did

the official Harris/Walz hat was camo, for fucks sake
