Democrats are riding high after this year’s special elections, but that doesn’t mean they’re popular with voters. Strategist Simon Bazelon has advice on what to fix.

Everyone involved in writing this article obviously hated writing it.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.




FROM THE LINK, QUOTE:

It’s not just about being out of step in terms of our positions. It’s also about being out of touch in terms of our priorities. One thing we looked at was comparing the 2012 Democratic Party platform to the 2024 Democratic Party platform. We analyzed the frequency with which a variety of words appeared in those two documents. What we saw was really striking. For example, the phrase “middle class” declined by 79 percent between 2012 and 2024, “economy” was down 49 percent, “economic” was down 51 percent.

On the flip side, words like “Black,” “white,” and “Latino” were up 1,000 percent, “LGBT” was up 1,000 percent, words like “equity,” “hate,” “justice,” “reproductive,” “democracy,” “criminal justice,” “environmental justice,” “climate,” “guns,”—all of these words increased dramatically in frequency. I think that’s pretty telling of a party that has shifted our priorities away from some of those working class issues that used to define us and towards these more abstract cultural concerns that are higher priorities for Democratic elites.

Dems are talking about changing their "messaging“

What I believe is that the Dem Party will stop using the hated buzzwords but still retain their globalist/ financialist agenda.

While we're on the subject, how about we all just agree to stop the very racist practice of capitalizing "Black" while leaving "white" lowercase.

You can't hate the media and the Democratic Party enough.

Oh yeah... Several years ago the head honchos at firms like Blackrock and Vanguard were saying that they needed to end the use of terms like ESG and DEI.

Not that they were planning on stopping anything behind those words, of course... just that the acronyms and words they regularly use had become toxic enough that it was bad for their brand to continue using them.
