I keep saying whichever party is the first to abandon it billionaire donor class and make a living wage a guide post of its campaign platform will have a juggernaut in the American body politic. And it will need to call out the faux populism of the other party AND explain what real populism is.
Because they are out of touch. Schumer will not step aside. I'm 61 an I not. Listening to him or Jeffries. AOC and Jasmine Crocket even Bernie speaks to them. The rest of them are out of touch with the needs of WE THE PEOPLE
History repeating... The Hitler Youth. Hate sells. He's skilled at making people angry about their lack of success and gives them someone to blame. It's really that simple. Straight out of the nationalist playbook.
You should do even the *teensiest* bit of research before typing anything to be posted publicly. You'll look less stupid that way in the future. Too late for the persent, I'm afraid.
John Delle Della Volpe has been called the "Gen Z whisperer."
It has fxckall to do with won races, as he's not approaching the subject with an eye to helping a particular candidate, and everything to do with knowing what issues are important to the demographic. I'm sorry you're dumb. You should get some help with that issue. Buhbye now.
His book "Fight," published in January 2022, details the defining political issues of American Generation Z voters, as well as comparing the cohort to their Millennial counterparts. - from Wikipedia
So I'm pretty sure he knows some things about the subject.

You like to run your mouth here where you’re nice and safe behind your keyboard. I doubt you’d be so confident saying these things to someone’s actual face.
When Dems have Power at the Federal level they refuse to use it they continue to let the Corporate Dem donors/lobbyists dictate policies. They use their own Party in Congress to block REAL progress like raising the federal minimum wage, free healthcare, free childcare, making child tax credit perm..
Democrats are likely to retake Congress because why? Republicans crashed the economy. Again. Once they resuscitate it, voters will return Republicans to power and the cycle repeats.
I’m fucking tired of Democrats always cleaning up the mess and then getting the shit end of the stick.
I think most of them have just become like deer in the headlights. Trumps thrown so much 💩 at the wall in the first 60+ days, they don’t know which way to run. No excuse, however.
Democrats need radio personalities that people can call and raise their complaints about republicans and democrats like the republicans do. Democrats need a layered structure to reinforce their strengths and clarify misinformation.
You guys could help, too. Call out those who are truly responsible-MAGA. Call out the “uninformed” voters, call out those who didn’t vote. Dems are not responsible for everything. Report better.
I'm a 24 year old Gen Z, had civics class in high school, a progressive, hates trump, has a degree in Physics education. Not all of us are children nor are we all stupid. I know many of my generation who is trying. It heavily is social media algorithms
Um, this might be unpopular to state, but here goes: Maybe Dems aren't catching on with Gen Z, because most of *do not read anything to do with current events*?
The dems aren’t going to fix this. AOC said the other day, dems are a conservative group. It became noticeable when universal healthcare was rejected in the 1990s, reinforced with the ACA supported by capitalistic/ corporate insurance lobbies, and of course the party’s refusal to give us Bernie.
Bernie didn’t get enough votes! That’s how democracy works…and if you were a US Rep and the biggest employer in your district was an insurance company would you vote for M4A which would hurt those employees and your constituents? It’s easy to yell “corporatist” from the outside🙄
Wasn't it members of Gen Y that were complaining they couldn't support Biden or Harris because Biden hadn't done enough about student loans?
It's funny we hear nothing about student loan forgiveness anymore. And won't for the next 4 years.
Maybe Gen Z should pay attention.
I'm so done with the why Dems are losing....take your pick. Voters need a good shaking. We can't worry about your feelings when democracy is on the line and one party will save it and will work for the people. Dems aren't perfect but they try harder!
Dems do not have the backbone too fix anything.
Those at the top remain silent,or vote with Trump.
It is those at the bottom who are making the most noise,and those who remain silent,need to a primary and someone younger and more passionate about saving America need to be in office.
Exactly, what a great way to win friends and influence people.
They aren’t stupid. Democrats have performatively claimed to be on their side while their futures have fallen apart. We’ve abandoned the media spaces they inhabit. And focused all our messaging on college kids (38% of them)
$1 trillion Infrastructure bill, Inflation Reduction act, Climate chg leg, Gun bill, Medicare drug neg, Chips Bill for manufacturing , PACT act for vets, $188 Bil in stud loan relief, 100’s of diverse judges and cabinet members…all passed with a tiny 5 seat majority…get educated🙄
JFC this fucker knows NOTHING. And he gets paid big bux to do this? Young ppl were DESPERATELY trying to get Biden and then Kamala to STOP SENDING WEAPONS TO ISRAEL. Instead they turned a blind eye to cops going into their campuses to crack heads. Shocker - those young ppl stayed home.
Digression-Omelets hamlets villages towns cities megacities regions provinces countries continent absolutely brilliant idea Council of mayors across the continent joining together so diverse yet so common it’s brilliant thank you America this is our light forward 🇨🇦✌️💜❤️
Blaming dems again. Dems are not losing Gen Z. Gen Z decided they want hell...they had a chance to have a better future, they wasted it with their petty demands.
What happened was that the Democrats campaigned like the Republicans aren't crazy and people don't want change, and they ran with the attitude of, "Where else ya gonna go? Accept us and the status quo, or end up in hell with MAGA."
I think accusing R's of being Satan and acting like they aren't crazy is completely contradictory. Her strategy at the debate was to have him schizo out.
Also, he's literally disappearing people off the street. The issue is that D's thought that would matter more.
When is the last time an actual civics class was ever seen by this generation? Who has an iota of how government actually works and what its function in civil society is? Too many cat videos, Frappuccino’s, and choices with no accountability is a lot of the problem…
You lost this election pandering to gen z, progressives and the pro hamas crowd and they had low turnout (even for them) and didn't support democrats. Now you're doubling down on progressives.
She backed biden's decision to withhold some bombs form Israel. She also did not want Israel to go into rafah. Israel found hostages in rafah and the leader of hamas, sinwar.
She was playing both sides and she ended up alienating both
If Gen Z goes R they will get the world they didn't want and lose the world they wanted all because of sheer shamelessness and entitlement. They deserve what they get and what they lost.
With trump in for at least 21 more months, we won't be able to list all the things that the DEMs will need to fix (if they can and will) when they get the chance!
UNLESS the GOP wakes up to the fact that trump is destroying their credibility even faster than he's destroying OUR Country!
Well, that may be, but they didn't vote 2024, so we're watching ALL the interim races Dems are sweeping. Playing to the discontent is a fool's game. When we were in our 20s politics was imperative. Nobody didn't vote, most of us wisely. Play to actual VOTERS not to phantom populations.
Let’s see how they like living under theological fascist GOP controlled government…. The Dems are losing some generations?!! We are losing the whole as American government. I don’t have the time or inclination to hold someone’s hand at this stage of the game.
Oh blow me, the Dems had a winning candidate with Bernie and instead they decided to push a corporate shill that failed against Trump.
Yet again, the dems had a chance to listen to most of the voters who wanted very specific things from Harris et al. They decided mocking is better & do this 😂
There is the Green Party, the Reform party, the Libertarian party, the Constitution Party and many others…”As of January 2025, there were at least 55 distinct ballot-qualified political parties in the US”…only problem is you can’t win with 20% of the electorate🤷🏾♀️
It would have helped greatly if dems had codified Roe and the VRA when they had the power to do so. Infrastructure is great, but better roads and bridges to a dystopian future doesn't make for a good meme. And maybe fight instead of doing the patented Schumer Rollover.
Oh right. They wouldn't pass a filibuster carve out to allow them to do what needed to be done. They were presumably saving the filibuster so Chuck Schumer could boldly not even fucking use it when we needed him to.

When you have zero leadership, that happens
Schumer and Jeffries need to go
You figure it out, MSM.
Who gives a flying fvkk about those dimwits on the other side of the street.
There’s only one right side of the street, and it’s opposite of the MFing red hats.
Next week, we have senior citizens explain the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

we fucking warned everyone ... now we have to fix it again ?
I wanted Warren, but I voted for Biden because I don’t think I should burn the house down when I don’t get my way.
There’s no pleasing them.
Isn't it bad enough that we always need to fix the economy after Republican recessions?
It's funny we hear nothing about student loan forgiveness anymore. And won't for the next 4 years.
Maybe Gen Z should pay attention.

SURPRISE RETIREMENT PARTY
for Chuck Schumer
& he’ll be so overwhelmed he’ll forget what the PARTY is for!
Donald Trump is running a ( HITLER ) style of government !
Mass Deportations, getting access to everyone SSN !
Wanting to take over other COUNTRIES ( Greenland, Canada )
FIRING workers !
Helping the RICH and cutting help for the POOR !
They have to WIN first and then engage with the party. The Dems are that party. Zs are blindered by the politics of ‘my way or the highway’.
But this is wrong.
What happened was that the Democrats campaigned like the Republicans aren't crazy and people don't want change, and they ran with the attitude of, "Where else ya gonna go? Accept us and the status quo, or end up in hell with MAGA."

But not why she lost. Inflation much bigger issue. Many Nonwhites tired of cultural liberalism also.

Until you fix that the right will always control the message.
Everything else is secondary.
