Democrats spent one-and-a-half days cooking up a game plan for a comeback after a devastating loss against President Donald Trump last November—and it includes moving away from left-wing figures like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the “small-dollar donors” that fueled their rise to the national stage.

A large group of Democrats—consultants, campaign staffers, elected officials, and party leaders—gathered in Loudoun County, Virginia for a brief retreat in early February to identify the party’s weaknesses and chart a path forward, according to Politico.

The group blamed the party’s disconnect with the working class partly on progressive figures, left-wing staffers, and activist groups.

“Activist groups and progressive staffers push unpopular cultural positions, making it seem like Democrats are more extreme than they actually are,” they said, stressing the need to “reject fringe positions that alienate the median voter.”

“Democratic economic messages often come from elites, celebrities, and politicians rather than working-class voices that voters can relate to,” the document read, while simultaneously urging the party to “move away from the dominance of small-dollar donors whose preferences may not align with the broader electorate.”
