Six Months Later, Democrats Are Still Searching for the Path Forward

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Not to worry

The consultant class has convinced the DNC to invest $20 million dollars to learn how to “listen to men”.

Communities that Democrats had come to count on for a generation or more — young people, Black voters, Latinos — all veered toward the right in 2024, some of them sharply.

Not quite accurate - male members of those groups who showed up to vote showed a shift towards Trump, but a majority of those voters in those groups still voted Dem. What’s not being discussed is the millions of young people, black voters, Latinos who voted in 2020, but didn’t vote in 2024.

Until Dems prioritize motivating more voters, especially young voters, to show up, rather than wasting resources persuading a relatively small group of male swing voters to swing back to the Dems, they will continue to struggle to win the presidency.

Young people, who overwhelmingly support progressive policies, are the largest untapped pool of voters in the nation, and Dems ignore or dismiss them at their own peril.
