So now that Trump won the election, what can the Democratic Party do better to have a chance in 2028??

[hostsamurai]

Figure out a way to get a supermajority of white women to vote democrat. Seemingly abortion rights is not it.
Don't know what to do about the Latino vote, they voted for a guy who openly despises them on like a genetic level.
We all know what is required for black voters. I don't need to say anything there.

Really the best thing that is an absolute winner is real economic populism. Listen to people and deliver on that. Don't listen to their seven figure consultants, and ween off their corporate donors.

I said it before and it turned out as expected but people who are ignored and cannot see any route forward can absolutely vote to burn down the country.

Sadly, the democrats will not learn any lessons because Trump is not necessarily bad for their donors. They will just believe now that Trump can't run they'll win 2028 and politics will go back to the neoliberal status quo.

There aren't going to be anymore elections after this one.

Maybe stop blaming political parties and start blaming yourselves for still believing in democracy as it exists at all in 2024. Believing in democracy and defending it is part of the same anti-intellectual tradition that created Trump. If this version of Trump getting elected still doesn't make you question the entire concept of the democratic system as we know it and make you turn to political philosophy and political science to look for better ways, then you deserve Trump and he is your president.

And the sad thing is that the only hope defenders of democracy have of avoiding Trump right now is a woman they didn't even vote for to have as a candidate. If she wins, they'll say democracy won and that it proves the system works because at least Trump was avoided. Sh*t is a religion.

Well said,a cult.

But today I think many black people have been freed from the plantation.

Potentially.
The Democrats made or at least attempted to make this a single issue election about the fate of democracy. If Trump wins then it is the end of Democracy. So if Trump wins he gets a mandate from the people for autocracy.

Trump did win and now he can claim that he has a mandate to do whatever he wants. And that was before the Republican Senate majority.

Culture war always wins. Leave that LGBTQ shyt alone and stop putting up women candidates. This country will only trust straight men.

Wrong take. The problem was the fact both women were shoved onto us, and they were both deeply unpopular, uncharismatic and ran awful campaigns.

There will never be another candidate as unpopular as 2016 Hillary Clinton.

He always does that to shift blame, saying they need to spend more money on "messaging" (him)

How is it "misinformation" if they don't have policies that actually focus on helping Black people?

Telling black people project 2025 is a nothing burger and Trump has no policies that harm black people is misinformation.

Find a young centrist Aryan so that whites and latinos will support

That's all you need as long as he can do bare minimum

 

[tremonthustler1]

not sure you can. The straight man thought he was being persecuted and tonight the straight man won. Now the straight man (especially white and latinos) will be expecting a pot of gold. All that "woke" shyt they hate is gonna be de-emphasized. Poor people? fukk em. I can say whatever hateful rhetoric I want without being "cancelled?" Hell yeah. How can Democrats get them back when everything they've been promised at least culturally will be delivered to them? Trump's a piece of shyt but you'll never have to worry about him turning his back on grifters, bros, c00ns, dumbasses and minorities who don't mind kissing the ring for a bag.

Youve heard the story of The Boy Cried Wolf before. Eventually the fear mongering loses its luster

 

[TripleAgent]

Telling black people project 2025 is a nothing burger

They've had agendas for decades, some parts happened, the majority didn't. Trump distanced himself from it.

and Trump has no policies that harm black people is misinformation.

Name one from his first term that directly harmed or targeted Black people

 

[Blessings]

a legitimate black agenda

Did you place that bet , you would of won big

The Democrats need a radical candidate.

They cannot afford to churn out these 'vanilla' moderates that are only concerned about optics. Trump is striking a chord with middle class and blue collar America.

They haven't really recovered from being viewed as a party that is out of touch with the average American since they forced ultra-capitalist Hillary Clinton into candidacy ahead of Bernie Sanders.

People seem to forget that it was little over a decade ago that Barack won Florida and the rust belt states of PA and Ohio. In the election just prior to that he swept nearly every every Rust Belt state apart from West VA.

So what has changed? America does not see the Democrats as a party that represents the average American anymore. They see them as a party that is too concerned with social optics. A Tik Tok party that is pushing too much flash and less on substance.

Obama was out pushing for those blue collar votes on the ground. The vacuum left by Barack has since been placed by a radicalized white vote engineered by Donald Trump and right wing Republicans.

Dems have to swing the balance back in their favor by getting a candidate that will re-energize the white base with an economic mandate.

Lastly, Democrats have been boxed into big cities. The vastness of America is rural and the Electoral College game is playing against the Dems.

They have to campaign in the suburbs and rural areas heavily moving forward.
