Democrats need to learn how to FIGHT instead of waiting and hoping for the R's to "play fair." I love Michelle Obama but when she said "When they go low, we go high!" I remember thinking to myself that's a lovely sentiment but it's not going to be a winning strategy. Fight fight fight! 💙
Stop trying to be bipartisan, to start with. To be "bipartisan," now means Democrats want to compromise with extremists. R U KIDDING ME??? Fetterman has some lefties upset over his bending over for Dump. And my Dem senator, Jacky Rosen actually put out a commercial for her reelection bragging "I may be a Democrat, but I don't believe in party loyalty." What the!!??
The conservative disinformation and misinformation campaign started WAY before digital media. It started in the early 90s when Rush Limbaugh started pounding on the Clintons and rather than the classic media saying he was a liar they, for the most pat, ignored him which emboldened him to start saying "See, they can't even disprove what I'm saying." this started the snowball effect which had people like Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Michael Savage joining in which led to the current generation of James O'Keefe, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Laura Loomer and Charlie Kirk.
Totally agree. It may be too late for some Democrats; like Fetterman and my Dem senator bragged, "I may be a Democrat, but I don't believe in party loyalty." Dem senator, Jacky Rosen released this message in her reelection campaign.
@@Jsonwonthe democrats have GOT to appeal to the poor and the rural voters. They need to do this by action, not talk. They have to STOP this “reach across the aisle”, and “they go low, we go high” crap. It’s all useless nonsense. They have to ditch the elitist nickname and throw it back on the billionaires, who are mostly republicans. They have to fight, or keep losing. And Fetterman? He’s useless. I regret sending his campaign money. They have to figure out how to spot a wolf in sheep’s clothing like him.
Agree with you Ken. Democrats need to understand it's not about them but it's about the voters. They all need to get on one page instead of all of them creating their own chaos.
The clip of Bernie asking Scott Bessent whether he's for raising the federal minimum wage needs to go viral. That's the bottom line here. They want to help the rich and let working people suffer.
What prevents individual sates from implementing their own higher minimum wage laws? Nothing. Quite a few states increased their minimum wages just at the start of the new year. The overwhelming majority of states have minimum wages higher than the federal minimum.
@JohnDoe-jh5yr The trickle up effect works. They know that the more money we have, the more money we spend, the more money goes into their pocket. They're just high on ketamine and greedy. They sit around wired, talking about what lie they can concoct next and how much they can make off the uneducated.

Americans do not want to be given correct information that contradicts their racism, xenophobia, misogyny, etc. What America needs is an educational system that shapes normal citizens. The kind that loves their children more than their guns. That is not afraid of certain skin colors and does not panic if they notice someone speaking a language they do not understand. That does not believe America is the nation chosen by God.
Teachers can't teach critical thinking because there will be that one parent in a hundred who goes to the Board of Education to complain that little Bobby has started asking questions. The principal wants to keep his six-figure salary since he's not academically inclined enough to get into medical or law school, so he gets rid of the teacher for trumped up reasons -- trumped up, since the real reason would be politically damaging to admit. Teachers are misrepresented as trying to sell students on a different sexual orientation when they're trying to teach instead that it's bad to shove someone down the stairs or into traffic for being gay.
Democrats need to put free healthcare, free college, and free childcare at the very top of their party platform and campaign on those Progressive policies extensively. They have to give up corporate donors and just sell what people want.
@ America didn’t reject free healthcare, free college, or free childcare. None of those issues were on the ballot, were they? More eligible voters didn’t vote than the votes for either candidate. Most want those things, and Trump won’t do anything to help.
@@rmtl3140socialism is very far left. Democrats are asking to move a little closer towards the middle where people are the most happy. But if you say move left one click they freak out and say omg socialism. When actuality we are way right close to fascism. Why not study the countries that are the most content and move towards that? (Not at all socialism) Nope they vote no because they do not like change or progress. Why? Because they were taught their way is right. If it’s not right then this means that their parents or pastor may be wrong. It threatens the patriarchy and religion and richer people wouldn’t profit as much from us. You can still be a man and white and Christian and make changes and fight for equal rights. Nothing you have is threatened. In fact, everyone would actually like you. You’d have more women, more rights, more money, less time at work, more vacation, freedom of religion still, less bills, etc. No one is after your money or women or pets. Those are lies about immigrants. Scientifically conservatives have a part in their brain that is more likely to believe fear tactics and they fell for it. What in the world is the problem against happiness? Fear. Ego. Voting against their own interest because of lies is so infuriating. All they are taught on on Fox News is that dems are evil which is wild because usually they are nice people wanting the best for everyone. Oh wow how scary. WHAT IF dems are not evil, immigrants are not a big problem at all, no one is purposely getting pregnant and stopping get an abortion on their way home from work and everything you hear is like 80% wrong? Just what if?! But you believe it because it aligns with what you were taught from your parents and church? Well they didn’t know better and not everything you learned is actually true.
@@adambram You miss the point as you leftists always do. There is no such thing as free comrade. This will fly over your head as all rational discourse does.
Here is the thing: the massive Conservative messaging machine has spawned so many influencers, whether paid or unpaid that are multiplying seemingly daily.
If the dems are going to present themselves as the party of ethics and justice, they need to actually support ethical and just behaviour. The Gaza issue is a perfect example of what that kind of hypocrisy will result in.
Well, you're doing your part, as are the other creators on the panel today. We need to get y'all more followers, though, as all told it couldn't have been much more than a couple million. Not peanuts, but not enough.
Maybe we need to stop glorifying grifters and bullies. Maybe we need to incorporate lessons from the Occupy Movements. Maybe we need to ask What can a Modern Increasingly Inclusive Participatory Democratic Party look like. Maybe we need to acknowledge that neoliberalism is both anti-democratic and anti-capitalist. Maybe we need to openly, consistently reach toward congruent expressions of our Democratic Principles in action, through our economic systems. Maybe we need to functionally focus on creating the contexts required for healthy middleclasses. Maybe we ought to Use 14/3 to purge the Federal Government of all those obviously disqualified. We can start, if we're to save the DEMs, with low hanging fruit like: Getting rid of the superdelegate system. Creating a multitiered social media site that includes areas with various levels of moderation. Within this new social media site host educational-training areas; open forums; debates; speaker panels. Create a DEM Investigative News Service. We can also establish a university. Include a law school. Policy think-tanks. Maybe we require all incumbents to run in an open primary. Use multi formatted debates as means to develop ideas. Maybe we can create binding Platforms.
It is possible that the Democrats defined themselves by the actions they chose to take or not take. For instance the middle class drives to work in gas powered cars every day. The elite drive electric because only they can afford them. The list goes on like that.
I live in Ohio, now a solid red state and the Democratic Party is just non-existent here. They gave up and after this election so have I. I will vote on poloicy issues, ballot measures and maybe some local candidates who may run,but the party as a whole? I dont care any more. Why should I vote when my state always goes red? My vote doesn't count any more.
I am an independent who leans liberal. I was born and raised in California but I lost everything because of trump I lost my family I lost my house I lost everything. I cannot afford to stay in California and I tried to find a blue state that I could afford to move to and there were none. I had to move to Iowa where I am in a sea of Maga I'd like to move back to a democratic state but I can't afford to move to them they're very expensive. Why is that? In Iowa I had 75,000 left to my name and I was able to buy a house cash for $60,000 that in California would be $350,000 on a quarter acre. I can't even sell my house for $129,000 and move anywhere and get a house halfway decent like the one I have. I am forced to live in a very bright red State and I am very unhappy and very alone here and I want to move back home to California but I can't afford it not on only 2200 a month. I am a disabled 63 year old woman living on widow's benefits. Who's who's going to help me? No one I'm stuck in a trump prison in Iowa
@pc8134 not that I have to explain to you or anybody. But Trump devastated families. He turned families into greedy Maga crazy qanon lunatics and because of that, I lost my family and everything I had. The details aren't important. Suffice it to say Trump is a common denominator in everything terrible that's happened for the last 9 years and what will happen for the next 4 years. He's responsible for millions of deaths during covid which tore families apart. If somebody has to tell you how Trump ruined somebody's life then obviously you're not paying attention to anything
I don't know what they're doing, but they have organized troll armies. They will show up for a video on yt and there will be thousands of them in the comments section. They drown out rational discussion with their foulness.
When your message absolute sucks- as your does- changing the way in which your message is delivered will have no effect whatsoever. I think the phrase "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic" would fit well.
Honestly it’s too little too late now. I think Harris ran a great ‘middle class economic’ campaign but unfortunately people still thought for some reason Trump would do better by them and I’m not sure we’re going to get another shot and choosing a different party now
Here's a new information strategy. How about looking over the difference between your "Best" and "Newest" page and see how much commentary gets restricted. If we can't even talk about his crimes or call out nonsense with counter-arguments because you've tied our hands, that might be a good place for you to start.
