It's looking like a rather large assumption that Democrats manage to rebuild trust with the public. You would think 2024 would be enough of a crisis for Democrats to get their shit in order. And yet here we are with the same fucking dinosaur generation running the party.


This is a red herring. There is no winning for any party that isnt the Republican party, because there is no actual mechanism for non right wing voices to be heard on the right wing information ecosystem.

The issues is that Dems must bring their A game, to compete against a clown squad that can and will fabricate issues that havent happened, and force the dems to debate on it.

This is also a thought experiment, not a real issue, because Americans do not have that long a time horizon.

The strongest, most unified, and capable you will be is now. By the time elections come around, you will be hounded, disorganized, isolated and unable to coordinate.


Democrats don't have an A game. They're too busy deplatforming themselves and running away from the right.


> running away from the right.

Huh? Harris campaigned with Dick Cheney. She removed torture from her platform to do so. She promised to keep arming Israel. She promised to be more harsh on immigration than Trump. She warbled about having "the most lethal military" at the DNC.

This was all tacitly endorsed by the party. So, how did you get the impression Democrats running from the right?
