With the their asses handed to them in the election lets look at the Dems and any possibilities they can bounce back.

Democrats are trying not to go into denial over their loss to Trump and his minions…..I thought I would look at some of the reports and pass them on.

My opinion is the Dems have been drifting too far right ever since Bubba Clinton and that is what got them where they are today for the working class feels it has been abandoned by the Dems after all these years.

I agree with Bernie…..

Sen. Bernie Sanders was reelected on Tuesday, but he’s not surprised that Democrats lost the White House. Sanders, who caucuses with Democrats, sharply criticized the party in a statement posted on social media, USA Today reports. “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” the independent senator from Vermont said. “While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

Sanders cited issues including wealth inequality, noting that while “the very rich are doing phenomenally well,” weekly wages for the average American “are actually lower now then they were 50 years” when inflation is taken into account. “Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?” Sanders asked. “Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much economic and political power? Probably not.”

The Party spent too much time focused on degrading Trump and not enough time on what really matters to the voter.

Take abortion and yes it is an issue and Harris spent many hours focused on returning to the days of Roe v Wade…..but did women care?

Donald Trump has won the majority of white women voters for the third straight time. 

Even after destroying abortion rights, even after a judge went to painstaking lengths to clarify that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, and even as the Harris campaign targeted the imaginary “silent majority” of women hiding their political views from their husbands, 52 percent of white American women showed us who they are: Trump supporters.

National exit polls show that Trump easily carried white women’s vote, as white men too were 59 percent for Trump. For comparison, Black men and women went 20 percent and 7 percent for Trump, respectively.

There was so much liberal hand wringing over Harris’s perceived issues with Black male voters. Black men were too sexist, too uneducated, and were seen as a real vulnerability for her chances. “This election has taught me that there is a true intellect deficiency amongst our Heterosexual Black Men. It’s a sad reality,” one viral tweet on X read. A bit earlier, Barack Obama delivered an entire speech blaming Black men for their reluctance to back Harris. 

And yet Harris won three-quarters of Black men, while a much larger, much more powerful group of voters (white women) rejected the party begging for their votes for the third time in a row.

Let’s take a deeper look…..

The dust is settling, and though in some ways the 2024 presidential election was typical, there are several ways in which it wasn’t.

• Improving all over: Despite facing numerous legal battles and controversies since leaving the White House, former President Trump improved on his 2020 margin in 92% of more than 1,300 counties where at least 95% of the vote was counted, per Politico. “The median county shifted a bit under 2 points in Trump’s favor,” the outlet notes.
• Popular vote: In a 20-year first for the GOP, Trump is expected to win the popular vote on top of the Electoral College; George W. Bush last did it in 2004. After losing the popular vote twice before, Decision Desk HQ has him with 71 million votes compared to Kamala Harris’ 66 million.
• Latinos: Trump gained with “nearly every demographic group,” per CNN, but particularly Latino voters. They moved 26 points toward Trump from 2020, while Latino men moved 33 points in a massive swing, according to ABC News exit poll data. This surge in support “could fundamentally reorient American politics for a generation,” per Axios.
• Starr County, Texas: Trump is the first Republican to win the former Democratic stronghold, part of the Rio Grande Valley region, in a presidential race since 1896. And it wasn’t close. He led by more than 15 points, per the Texas Tribune.
• Independents in Georgia: President Biden won this group, which makes up 31% of the state electorate, by a 9-point margin in 2020. Trump was leading by 11 points in a CNN exit poll, marking a 20-point swing Jake Tapper described as “wild,” per the New York Post.
• Dearborn, Michigan: After drawing 30% of the vote in 2020, Trump won 42% support over Harris’ 36% in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, an Arab-American stronghold, per the Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, Green Party candidate Jill Stein won 18% support in an apparent protest vote against the Biden administration’s support for Israel amid its war with Hamas.

AS I have stated….the Dems screwed themselves in 1992 by switching to a big business party…..and they have never looked back….they offer platitudes but no action to back up their accusations and promises.

What this country needs is another Eugene V. Debs…..a charismatic political firebrand….someone who will embrace a true change and not just in word.
