By George, I think they're finally starting to get it.




TL;DR....

Quote:

The answer to Democrats' three existential questions is to go back to what we once were. Our core principles? Fight for the middle and working class. Our brand? The party that fights for the middle and working class. And our strategy? Co-opt and own the issues that voters care about and expect action on.

Let's beat Trump to the punch. Lean in by talking relentlessly about a strong border and offering policy to match, without the cruel Trumpian plans for deportation or child separation. Embrace measures like the Laken Riley Act (48 House Democrats and most senators just did). Work with incoming Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—a protégé of Democratic megadonor George Soros after all—to craft a smart, targeted tariff plan instead of Trump's slapdash nonsense. Grab the middle, and leave Trump to fall into the overreach trap with his excesses.

Would Trump claim some wins? Yes. That will sting. But it's a lot better than being relegated to the side that voters have shown they hate. And in the long run, these would be Democrats' wins too, and the path back to what we used to be—and could be again.



None of those things are going to work for the Democratic party now because that boat sailed a very long time ago, but they're always welcome to join the side of sanity.
