We cannot win by hating our fellow Americans.

54. The Democrats are a minority party now.

I'm not sure people understand this.

You can attack Trump all you want. You can hold his feet to the fire all you want. You can even go after the right-wing fascist pundits and influencers all you want.

But the Democrats will never win another election again without winning over voters who supported Trump in 2024.

That's the reality.

And here's the kicker: the Democrats don't even have the luxury anymore of investing into the idea that if more people had voted last year, they would have won.

Research by the party's own leading data scientist David Shor shows that Trump would have won by five-points nationally if every registered voter voted.

In fact, Harris won more votes in most swing states than Biden did in 2020.

Trump just increased his total way more.

What does that mean? A lot of voters who voted Biden voted Trump in November, and a lot more who didn't vote at all in 2020 also voted Trump.

But worse off for Democrats is that a majority of this country, when you factor in the idea that had more people voted, is more sympathetic to Trump than they are Democrats.

Democrats have their lowest approval in history and are coming off the biggest electoral vote loss since 1988.

Something is terribly wrong with the party and I'm not sure continuing to alienate voters who obviously are open to supporting Trump is going to help the party regain any level of relevancy.

In fact, the last people I'd want to listen to on how to proceed forward is a group of people who routinely denied the idea that the 2024 election was not only close but one Trump absolutely could win. There's a massive segment of partisans here who absolutely do not have the pulse on America and their continued refusal to accept the scary reality we're looking at is not going to magically help, either.

Demonize the candidate but the Democrats clearly ain't winning anything by attacking voters who have shifted over to Trump the last four years. That's just a recipe for disaster.
