It’s their job to convince voters to vote for them
Everytime this topic comes up it reminds me of incels whining no women wants them…
They don’t want to change anything, they don’t want to compromise, they want a participation trophy for just existing. What’s insane is that’s been the strategy for the last three presidential elections.
And if they won’t take responsibility for failing at their job, then they’re on course to do the exact same thing in 2028 and get the exact same results.
The new DNC chair has been very vocal about what the problem is, how to fix, and is already running the same playbook that solidified his home state blue.
The DNC is basically the chair, and we just got a much better chair than we’ve had in decades.
“We’re calling it the ‘Organize Everywhere’ tour,” Martin told ABC13. “It’s a simple premise that if we’re going to win throughout this country and get back into power, we have to organize everywhere. We’re visiting red states, purple states, and blue states on this tour. And Texas really is the future of the Democratic Party. This is such a critical battleground state as we move forward in the 2026 elections – of course, the 28 election cycle and beyond.”
But you don’t have to go on hypotheticals, he has a long history in Minnesota, and supporting candidates voters want translated to wins.
It’s not even that overtly progressive, he just knows it’s easiest to win if voters already like the candidate and policy. And voters like charismatic candidates with progressive policy stances.
And Texas really is the future of the Democratic Party.
This boondoggle again. They need to stop calling Texas a battleground state. It is too gerrymandered to be considered a proper battleground.
Texas only could become one after the GOP decides to abandon oil and gas. They’re not about to.
The only other feasible way to break the gerrymandered districts and get Texas blue would be by sweeping New Deal Coalition type social democracy policies specifically improving working class conditions at the expense of billionaires and corporate boards. And this is about as unlikely as the GOP ditching oil and gas.

That’s encouraging to hear.
Can you share any links about the strategy changes you think will help?
