In reply to the discussion: Democrats Quietly Form New Think Tank [View all]awesomerwb1
(5,114 posts)26. Better late (20 years) than never I guess
The Democratic party is like a monster with many heads. All the heads have their own ideas and criticize each other in public instead of voicing their disagreements in private. There is hardly ever a unified message. A ridiculous amount of energy and even resources is spent disagreeing with each other. It doesn't help.
Have a bloody private convention where you can voice your disagreements and then come up with a strong playbook that works in incredibly turbulent times before it's too late. And nobody leaves until it gets done. Black smoke means we're working on it, white smoke means it's done.

We could run on efficiency. Trump, Musk, GOP have ceded the issue. They fouled it all up.
