Potential 2028 candidates, especially those hailing from blue states, are attempting to ratchet back a leftward lurch on social issues some in the party say cost them the November election.

You know who I'd vote for? Someone who had the guts to tell Israel to go ---- themselves.

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Israel.

Until they pull out of the West Bank and Gaza.

I would vote for anyone who would Bomb Israel.

FIFY.

The party of FDR and JFK is going to permanently lose six to seven million (maybe more) supporters because of US taxpayer-funded support for ethnic cleansing in Israel. We saw the first major bloc peel away on 5 Nov 2024. These voters simply stayed home, like antiwar voters did in 1968.

AIPAC-supported Democratic politicians will continue scapegoating the 1.1% Arab-American population, Felon Musk, the "Woke" culture, or anybody else as a deflection and ditraction. Bill Maher, Joe Rogaine, and some MSNBC TV tumors will lead that charge.

One of the editors at the prestigious Atlantic Magazine constantly distorts Iran's nuclear program in subtle, Islamophobic fashion whenever he appears on MSNBC. But Iran signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), unlike Israel, which he consistently fails to mention. During the Iraq invasion of Iran in the 1980s, the Ayatollahs in Tehran forbade the use of CBRN weapons against the Iraqi Army which did deploy poison gases against Iranian soldiers. The religious scholars in Tehran and Qom argued that the use of WMDs would "despoil nature." The editor of the Atlantic Magazine fails to mention that fact and that specific fatwa as well.

The antiwar movement in the US is as old as the American Revolution and ordinary people are sick and tired of bloodthirsty Israel committing atrocities like this:

Yeah, Dems weren't far enough to the left. That's what cost them the election.

Because the vast majority of Americans are on board with cozying up to Islamist terrorists. And that's the way the GOP would spin it.

If you and the rest of the pro-Hamas crowd don't see that, I certainly can't make you.

P.S. I guess Palestine must be free. Since not a peep to be heard from the useful idiots who helped cost Dems the election by shutting down highways, bridges, college campuses, etc for about a year under Biden.

Maybe Trump really will get his Nobel Peace Prize. May not be many Palestinians left to thank him.

All roads lead to the imaginary, nonexistent nation that never existed called Palestine. Give the man a hand!

"The House GOP bill would entail a large upward transfer of resources. The bill, which would continue Trump's 2017 tax law and add new tax giveaways for wealthy investors, heirs, and others, would deliver a big tax cut to those in the highest income brackets.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the tax cuts enjoyed by those in the bottom 20 percent in 2027 would be one seven-hundredth the size of those reaped by the top 1 percent."

I'm going to need you to stop worrying about stuff that actually matters to American. Please fixate on having more genders than the color of the rainbow and people who have been killing each other for 3,000 years over 0.14% of the world's land mass (an objectively cruddy piece of land mass at that).

The waitress making $25K a year will see about $25 bucks a week.

The average billionaire will see about a million bucks a week.

(Math: 3K Billionaires, $16T Net Worth, +2% marginal bracket differential) = $53,000,000/yr

Yes, but all our Billionaire Trumpers who post here are going to make out like Bandits!

#12 | Posted by Corky at 2025-06-07 03:54 PM

We have 30% who worship the Dicktator.

30% who ignore everything, are they the Center?

20% who are Libs.

10% who are "Undecided"?

Work on the 10% and try to motivate the 30% who don't care.

Making policy on who appeases the indifferent isn't going to work out.

They are not a coalition, they are a mass of people moved by political Fads and media coverage.

Not the bedrock on which real policy can be based.

Fox News figured this out decades ago.

Blonde bimbo newscasters and guests and non stop fear mongering. News as spectacle and entertainment.

Alternative Facts for the stupid.

The Dems need their very own Fox News to pick up the Feeb vote.

It'll be a Landslide if they Do.

#13 | Posted by Effeteposer at 2025-06-07 04:36 PM

Yeah, Dems weren't far enough to the left. That's what cost them the election.

Actually, the Democrat party needs to be ACTUALLY mid right. That means telling the Trans people to go ---- themselves. That means telling hamas to go ---- themselves. That also means BLM to go ---- themselves.

Until this happens, you idiots probably wont win another national election.

#14 | Posted by boaz at 2025-06-08 12:13 PM

Yes, Major B... because trans people and black people are the biggest problems this country has!

And don't get me started on trans black people!!

Democrats are desperate to hand 2028 to the Republican Party.

Much to China and Russia's delight.

Put a true moderate Democrat on the ticket and your party has a very real chance in 2028.

Trot out some super-woke candidat and chances are slim.

#19 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-06-08 03:10 PM

Harris was a true moderate.

You voted for a fringe rightwing lunatic who needed to stay out of prison.

Will you?

Can You?

Name a viable ,"Centrist"... .. ...

Of course she was.

But, you're so use to your extreme rightwing, barely literate, fake Christians candidates, anyone left of Hitler seems like a left wing, super woke candidate to you.

She can read?! She's got to be a far left wing, woke candidate!

They will just pretend to be a centrist until elected then they will go left once in office. Nothing new here.

... Searching for a path out of the political wilderness, potential 2028 candidates, especially those hailing from blue states, are attempting to ratchet back a leftward lurch on social issues some in the party say cost them the November election. ...

My view is that if Democrats want to become a majority party again, they need to do one thing --- get out and talk to voters.

They need to stop hiring consultants that tell them what the voters want.

The Democratic candidates need to get out there and talk to the voters directly to find out what they want.

imo, that prior isolation from the voters was the downfall of Democrats.


#28 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-06-08 09:16 PM

With coming Fall Recession, according Herr Musk and others, and the brewing war in the Pacific with China-Russia... all Dems need to do is be ready to pick up the pieces when Donald is through breaking America.

Which won't look nearly as difficult after the Blue Wave next year.*

* unless DJT is the AC, then we will be be prosperous for the next several years, there will be Peace in the ME, and then he will break it by attacking Israel, signaling the End Times, according to the verses, most of which he has already fulfilled.

I am fine with eliminating all federal income taxes on people earning less than $70,000 per year. I don't think you will see the same from Democrats because then they would lose their 'billionaires getting tax breaks' arguments. Same reason why Democrats are fighting against no tax on tips and OT. They simply do not care about working class people.

#32 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-06-09 07:22 PM

One of the stats from the election that boggles me still is that Harris won among voters earning over $100,000 a year. www.cnn.com

And then I just found this from www.cnbc.com written shortly before the election: "The majority of investors with at least $1 million of investible assets plan to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris"

The rich get better tax cuts under Trump, but they put their support for Harris.
