    Apparently treating your constituents like they are children is a sure-fire way to win elections, if we use the Republican strategy as a model.

    If we take what you’re saying at face value, then the Democrats must become the party of pleasing everybody, making sure that all of those single-issue voters get what they want. This is not and will never be a successful path for a political party.

      That seems to be the intention behind the “democrats didn’t go far enough left” narrative coming from lemmy.ml. Convince the left to not vote unless they get something that will lose democrats votes elsewhere.

      You can’t even read. Don’t pretend you know what it takes to win elections.

      This is apparently a strange universe because I condemned democrats for trying to please everybody. Here is a person who thinks I said “You should have pleased everybody”. Like go read what I said. I specifically said to be the party that doesn’t try to please AIPAC, Republican Voters, Get endorsed by Dick Cheney. Focus on the progressive policy platform and promise to change the economy for the better. Don’t say “GDP numbers are high, You’re all doing fine!” To your constituents whose lives have had no effect by the GDP numbers.

      Also are you aware how republican voting works? Maybe you should take some lessons and at the bare minimum lie and tell your constituents what they want to hear. Democrats could not even manage to do that this time around.

        Rounding up endorsements from Dick and Liz Cheney, and Anthony Scaramucci, and Adam Kinzinger, and Alberto fucking Gonzales, while offering platitudes to the left, is not a path to victory for the Democratic Party.

        But I don’t think the party hierarchy cares about winning elections. They consistently offer only empty feel-good middle-of-the-road stuff which does not resonate with people who are actually suffering in this society and economy.
