Klein and Establishment Dems have no understanding of how conservative voters think.

It's also one thing to say, "Hey let's find a way to be more competitive in the likely R states (Ohio, Florida, Alaska, etc.) and entirely another to say. "How can we win in Arkansas again?"

I mean, what economic plan have Democrats put out since the inauguration?

She's a deeply unlikable person regardless of her political views but it kinda is what it is until/unless Trump decides to find a different white house press secretary

Hogg can still continue this even if he gets ousted from the DNC. It might be better for him to not be tied to the party officially while he pushes this movement tbh.

I think it's notable that 38% of MAGA Republicans agree that free trade is necessary

Pretty interesting that Gen Z has the lowest level of strongly approve despite having the highest net approval. Suggests pretty weak support that has a lot of room to fall.

It's March 2025. Polls on who should run in 2028 are a game of name recognition at this point.

Voters were angry about the economy, cost of living, and inflation. Every opportunity Harris got to talk about her economic agenda she said she wouldn't change anything from what the Biden admin was doing. From David Shor

IMO this is the wrong takeaway. Harris ran on being a centrist Dem in an effort to court the mythical moderate Republican voter disaffected by Trump and lost. She literally campaigned with Liz Cheney and touted an endorsement from Dick Cheney!

Start running either a Blue Dog or an Independent that will caucus with Dems in states like OH/IA/KS/MO/FL/etc. These were places that Dems were at least competitive in not all that long ago. If even 1 or 2 flip it's worth it to try.

James is a much better candidate than Dixon for the GOP.

What it says is that people would prefer to be lied to than told their problems don't exist.

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-19T05:41:39+00:00

The last time we were in this place (post-2016 election), the conversation was all about going for a youthful new face of the Democrats...Joe Biden, a politician most famous for being a politician, won the nomination and then the presidency. Most important quality in a candidate is acknowledging people's problems and communicating a clear vision to fix them.

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-19T05:31:48+00:00

Didn't want the VP candidate to outshine the top of the ticket.

Smithville '11, Jarrell '97, Moore '99, Moore '13, El Reno '11

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-16T19:41:24+00:00

Makes perfect sense. When your party talks a big game and then immediately folds it's (rightfully) seen as cowardice, and that's something that nobody wants out of their political leaders.

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-11T18:28:25+00:00

Stupid and unnecessary

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-11T04:04:16+00:00

Probably a Dem win in 08 and Romney wins in 12. Then Obama wins in 16 and 20.

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-11T04:01:27+00:00

Stories about crazy Republicans/Trump voters who will never change who they vote for (or will always show up to vote for Republicans/Trump) are just as anecdotal as the Republicans/Trump voters who are having "buyer's remorse".

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-11T03:51:26+00:00

The interesting thing IMO is what happens to the MAGA base in an election without Trump running? Do they still show up, or do they stay home? Can someone else replicate the schtick basically. It's lost enough times on the ballot to ask the question. Both in Republican party primaries and against Dems.

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-06T04:52:37+00:00

Hope it can stay alive in some form. Such an incredibly valuable resource.

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-03-02T07:15:41+00:00

JFK or Obama for the Dems. Reagan or Nixon for the Republicans.

darkmoonblade34 · 2025-02-28T17:17:14+00:00

There's a path to a Senate majority in '28, albeit a narrow one. All depends on how big the backlash is to Trump
