Elections What to do with the Progressives in the Democrat party?

[F1980]

I think the Progressives cost the Democrats the election. Their stance on the open border and the trans/gender issue is too off putting to a lot of people.

They're a small part of the democrats but they are the loudest. but even though they are small, the democrats need their vote. Im not sure what the dems plan is in the future. If they veer off the tiniest bit from the progressive line, they will lose their vote

two different general sets of ideals in this country and the divide seems to keep getting bigger. I don't know what the solution is if people aren't willing to compromise and live and let live.

Federalism, like it was originally intended.

Vance can't wait to put Trump in and take over.

They fumbled the bag against Trump, a man that had 12 yrs to come up with concepts of a plan, they lost the popular vote too.....It should be a wakeup call for sure. 95% of Kamala's campaign was just "not Trump". Yes, it is easy to make a case against him and get people to refrain from voting for him but why should anybody vote for you over a Doberman Pinscher if the only thing that you offer is being not Trump.

That being said, I don't think it is entirely her fault, she was substituted after Biden's campaign was a dumpster fire. It is obvious to everyone or atleast it should be that Biden is not capable of handling the job now or even last year at the very least. That mistake of him hogging the title of President crippled Kamala's campaign because she is guilty by association. So that is going to fester in voters' minds whether we like it or not.

Also credit where its due, Trump was a workhorse. He has been campaigning non-stop even after the assasination attempt. He took the interviews, he didn't care about how stupid that he looked or if he got owned. He powered through. Same with Vance, he had hiccups here and there but for the most part, he did a good job of covering his spots even with the hard interviews.

On the other hand, Kamala had a late start and stuck to rallies which is good. But in the age of social media, interviews and unfortunately podcasts are important too. She should have prioritized those to showcase more of who she is. I think she shoulda went on Rogan or even Theo Von. She had everything to gain there and nothing to lose. She should have addressed the concerns that people had about censorship and I think her assault rifles proposal was a non-starter for a lot of people.

That is just my $0.02.

I swear a lot of people have no idea how to distinguish a progressive from a centrist Democrat. Kamala, Biden and even Obama are not progressives. They are Centrist Democrats. No one likes Centrist Democrats and no progressives did not cost Kamala the election for what you stated above. Dems lost because they did not run on anything and offered their progressive base nothing. Side note, the Biden Admin tried to pass a border bill in May that was voted down by Senate Repubs.

Anyway, Progressives asked for pretty clear things and Dems brushed them off. I put this in another thread but this describes the kind of Dems you are actually getting because they are not progressives.

Sever them off and have progs form their own party.

 

[Corona]

They need to gather them all together and tell them this.

Yep

 

[White Whale]

They need to banish them make progressives form their own party.

Democrats need to be populist which means closed borders, stop defending criminal behavior and not allowing men to compete against women in sports.

Nice wall of text, I actually read it and there's some truth there, but you don't address the thread topic at all, and the question is what to do about the woke progressives and the far left lunatics?

I can't speak for anyone else, but that one is a deal breaker for me. You can talk about budgets, and economies, and taxes all you want... but if you're the party that's supporting mutilating children, DEI, and open borders, I don't give a fuck if the other candidate is Saddam Hussein, I'm probably gonna still vote for him.

It was just a suicidal strategy from the beginning, you cant fucken sit there and call the majority of your potential voters a bunch of racists while indoctrinating their kids with gay porn, and expect them to back you. And then the whole girl power crap, and trying to shame men into voting for a woman or else they're a bunch of sexists, like get the fuck outta here, what kinda man is gonna respond well to that? If the Dems want any chance of getting back in the white house, they have to distance themselves from these lunatics the same way that the republican party has distanced themselves from the KKK.

I think that would be a wonderful start.

Some of them are finally starting to wake up from being woke, this is a New York congressman

Anybody ever call me LatinX and ole Pete is coming at them like an obese spider monkey

There's almost nothing progressive about Kamala. Trying to appear bipartisan instead of galvanizing her base is what cost her the race
