    The Democrats need to be able to give people something to aspire to or an ideal. I don't agree with Trump's vision, but he at least has one - a return to when the USA was great. For the Democrats that can be something positive like the pre-amble to the Statue of Liberty or a return of the middle class.

    This of course ties into what you are saying - having a common enemy to blame for perceived problems. It should be so easy for the Democrats - the enemy is the billionaire class and those that are beholden to them.

    Hell - Trump is literally setting the stage for the next Democrat populist to emerge...... from tariffs, inflation, tax cuts for billionaires, cutting benefits, cutting consumer protection agencies and worker protections.

    Whomever emerges will be very good at reading the pulse of the people - communicating it effectively and will be bold and savvy with the media... they may even compromise some traditional Democratic positions to win over certain Republicans or non-political people.

    Short of Democracy being effectively erased - or some unforeseen amazing economic growth - it is inevitable to happen.

    AOC has a better read on the pulse of certain groups of people than anyone on either side of the political spectrum. That is because she isn't far removed from being a normal person and she also expresses herself very well - she understands women and urban minorities under 50 better than anyone out there.... I don't know if that is a big enough demographic, but with her charisma and ability to communicate, it is possible she can gather enough other interest groups to be a force.

    If I had to bet my money - it is someone that no one is thinking about that emerges, possibly someone without a lot of formal political time in office..

    it for sure can’t be Gavin Newsome, and Fetterman is even worse than him

    Hakeem Jeffries is so useless it’s unreal…all he’s good for is fundraising, but nobody’s buying the bullsh*t anymore…u can’t be out here showing no fight whatsoever then come asking for money

    I’m not giving a dime to any of these losers

    We said the same thing about Harris when she was completely destroyed very early on in 2020, but your dumbass team appointed her as the Democrat candidate.
    Next time hold an election.

    It better be someone different or Vance will walk this one through with ease.
    Democrats didn't learn from Hilary or Biden. What makes you think they will with Harris?
    Recognize it or not, there is a lot of extremism coming from the left. Violence and destruction is one of the first recourse of action.

    Biden was the only canidate who could've beaten Trump in 2020. What exactly should democrats have learned from Biden?

    Kamala ran an awful campaign and allowed Trump to run 300 million dollars of trans ads connecting Kamala and she did zero pushback. Harris could've easily won the election if she had a better campaign.

    And you have an inability to read also. I literally said she has a massive uphill battle for a general election due to her race, ethnicity and label as an extreme leftist.


    I'm merely talking about her rheorrical skills and how they have at the very least the appearance of society where her points aren't focus tested by DNC career consultants.


    I truly do.not trust the intelligence of a single person who hears someone like Hakeem Jeffries speak and AOC speak and come out with "ya Jeffries is Him and AOC is a clown". Like I seriously think you might have sub 100 IQ if you come out of hearing these two speak side by side and think the rhetorical abilities of our establishment Democrats is more genuine than the likes of AOC, Bernie etc.

    Violence and destruction will not be a result of leftists successfully propagandizing. It will come from more Americans being spread thin and reaching a breaking point.

    People like you simply can't understand that political revolutionary violence is born from material conditions.

    This goes both ways. The Nazi fascist regime wouldn't gain traction without the material conditions brought forth by losing WW1 in the manner in which Germany did that resulted in massive labor movements that scared business owners and where media was blaming leftists and Jews for why Germany forfeited the war.

    Also whoever hears John Fetemran speak words and try to explain stuff and think "he's him". You people also have sub 100 IQ.

    This is so incorrect. The real way to win is to nominate a Cheney to remind America of a great past where we had Sunday weekly lists displayed on This Week of service members dying in Iraq. Fun times.


    That is the America we need to get back to. Neo-liberalism is great.
