This, apparently, is what the US Democrats have come up with as their strategy to win back power. Number 1 really is a mind bender. In general, it’s the pretty definitive sign - if anyone needed one - that US democracy isn’t going to be saved by the Democratic Party (H/t Garbage Day newsletter) - ThreadSky

There are no named democrat electeds in that meeting. If you close read, this retreat was a Third Way Institute retreat. About as relevant to todays US politics as D Ream to today’s Uk politics

I believe this by a Third Way think tank / pressure group on the right fringes of the party. The types who think emulating the Repubs is the way to win

This has not been published by the leadership so is best seen as an attempt to influence the party, not its position

This can't be true. Say it isn't so.

TL:DR Join the Republican Party.

I fuckin’ give up.
The Dems obviously have. They’re basically saying “try to get elected by standing next to the Felon; just pretend not to be with him”.
Utterly pathetic.
No wonder the Republicans win when the Democrats are a non-entity in every sense.

If only there was a third party to hold the balance. The Sensible Party maybe

This needs verifying and independent audits carried out.

This is NOT a Democratic policy document, it was mis-reported (again) by Politico as such. It is actually the output of a fringe group called Third Way, a think tank / pressure group on the far right of the party.
