We still need to make it to the election and then figure out how to prevent the GOP from cheating.

This uphill battle is far from over.

I agree, the Dems have an uphill battle ahead of them.


The Dems may be all strutting around and such after the 2025 elections landslide.

But, now the GOP has months to proffer their message to win back the voters, and the Dems have a task ahead of them.

Do the Dems have a plan, something beside their usual lame messaging attempts to communicate with the voters?

So far, I've not seen it, outside of a few candidates.


One thing I'll mention ...

You can say what you want about Mayor-elect Mamdani's political views. But from what I saw, he had a significant accomplishment in his campaigning.

He went out, and he talked with, and he faced the voters, including those who opposed him.

He spent a lot of time talking face-to-face with the people of NYC. Not shaking hands, but talking.

Mayor-elect Mamdani did not just cater to adulating crowds, he also sought and talked with those who opposed him. I saw him talking with Wall-Street leaders.

Democrats are going to have to stand for some things, some big things like taking big money out of Elections so that The People's politicians aren't owned by Billionaires/Corporations.

Some big things like Single Payer Health Care and Consumer Protection. Like taxing the Elites at the same rates as the average worker. Like treating others as we like to be treated.

Like standing up to Authoritarians rather than becoming Fascists ourselves.

Not me. Been voting for over 50 years. No more faith in nothing but myself.

Youngns, beware of false promises.
