Reposted from The Daily Beast

Democrats spent one-and-a-half days cooking up a game plan for a comeback—one that includes more gun shows and capitalism while moving “away from the dominance of small-dollar donors.”

As long as Boomers are still running their show... Democrates will loose

If they don’t want us small $$ donors, I can throw away all those repetitive requests for cash-DNC, DSCC, DSSC…the list is lengthy arriving in my snail mail box, and that doesn’t even include what clogs up my email box.

You mean like pro-gun, "hunter" Tim Walz vs the effete, eyeliner-wearing JD Vance? How did that turn out? GOP voters are not impressed by Dems who are "more like them." AOC had moderated herself into a more traditional, yet authentic politician and she just needs to pick up the Trump swing voters.

AOC is under used- she is always spot on and authentic- very telegenic- it helps that MAGA are not obsessed with her- shows her power

I meant- MAGA is obsessed with her

And by the way, I know very well the meeting and conclusions referenced are not those of the DNC or all leaders of the party. But I also know they are views with much traction among those groups…views that are wrong headed and need to be nipped in the bud.

Which sadly is why we don’t have a real response.

They’re all in on it David we need a new party. How about NP?

Especially starting with Clinton, the Dems have been complicit in advancing “Trickle Down Economics” which has destroyed the middle income class and caused the biggest income/wealth gap in U. S. history. Now this group is proposing continued support of this failed economic theory?

If Sarah Kendzior is right, (and honestly, when isn't she?) y'all need to look past the Democratic Party at this point if you want to stop this madness.

I have a crazy idea how about instead of a conclave they have a focus group with Dem voters.

Feisty David Rothkopf is my favorite David Rothkopf.

I appreciate your thougthfulness. Dems are misreading the times, us the people, and what needs done to fight for us.

lumennaturalis.bsky.social•14 hours ago

What they do, what they say, least of all how they posture means nothing when everything depends on what people are programmed to think they did and said. Don't they understand this yet? They lost an information war because they didn't know that was what they were fighting. Are they still clueless?

This plan sounds suspiciously like the 2024 campaign message… don’t campaign on liberal issues and appeal to the moderates….it was a colossal failure. The dems need new strategists…the 2024 campaign failed and the dem response to the shit show we’ve been witnessing has been abysmal.

IMO sharing this BS clickbait is not helping either David.

How about just exposing the Republicans as wanting to turn us in Russia?

lrw63.bsky.social•13 hours ago

How disappointing democrats have become. They are terrible at fighting back. Need to primary most of them

sharondon.bsky.social•15 hours ago

This is not the Dem party - it’s a think tank. You have to wonder why these stories are being written when protests are up everywhere. They are trying to divide Democrats.

kevinkirking.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Dems need to get back to their roots…not watered down Republicanism.

lizdrothman.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Bernie actually has traction among some Trump voters who supported him in 2016. AOC is talented but far more polarizing. The focus of messaging is critical and needs to be done to recapture the working class on economic issues while maintaining core values. Big ask for current consultants

jcooksv.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Let's have more AOC and Bernie. Throw in some Buttigieg and Warren as well.

smashednsinking.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Lol, the new Democratic plan is we all become old timey Republicans?

I'd be overjoyed if the Dems ever learned how to pick a fight and throw a punch.

Oh yes, that's an extremely good idea. Turning into rightwingish Dems would be wonderful, so that after people are sick and tired of Republicans (trump), they will turn to us Demopublicans. Oh what a great idea!

Brilliant 3rd way Democrats,just fucking brilliant! No really i get it a kinder gentler Trumpism for the moderate fascists.
May I make one suggestion? Rather than just tying our party's shoes together I propose cutting off one foot or entire leg...oh what the heck both legs.
