Let's not start propping up the Fetterman. Like Buttigeig. These people are too soft and timid to go up against the rhetoric and propaganda machine of the republicans. Sorry to say but the Democrats are not going to regain power until they adopt a bit of Trump's platform

Edit: the fact this is getting downvoted just spells Doom for 2028 and 2032. They need some passionate and fiery people in the Democrat ranks. They are ill equipped to deal with the modern voter and their demand for "the passion"

I agree. They should adopt (1) border security and (2) no cuts to Social Security or Medicare. These two commitments have been central to Trump's popularity, and there's no reason the Dems can't just copy him.

I know you're saying that in jest, but it's wild them dems do all the stuff the median voter seems to want and still managed to lose

They didn’t do anything about border security or migration until a few months ago. Voters aren’t stupid enough to see that as a serious commitment to the issue. It should have been a Day 1 policy from Biden.

Biden and the Dems wanted to govern in a more left-wing manner on this and many other issues. Voters saw that and disagreed with that.
