"Why do we keep losing elections?"

[Elixir]

if you wanted to prove your claim that racially inspired violence against minority has had an uptick

Dude, I made no such claim.
Here is the post with which I believe you took umbrage, in its entirety:

If any federal agency has that dirt it will not be published. B’cuz Felon say economy is best ever, Dems made up inflation hoax, Epstein hoax, Russia hoax, GDP revision hoax, and especially the above mentioned racism hoax, all just to make him look bad. Also, nobody is hungry in Gaza. Another D hoax.

The entire thing is facetious, but even in a literal world THERE IS NO SUCH “CLAIM” as you have asserted. “That dirt” is not even presumed to exist.

BTW, you showed that 2019 data is readily available, and I would agree that it is probably accurate. I do not trust any “data” released by any agency under Trump’s thumb, especially economic or cultural data.
YMMV, counselor, but please don’t put words in my mouth.

Over the course of the next few weeks, I'll be hitting the road to have real discussions across America on how we move forward to take on the Oligarchs and corporate interests who have so much power and influence in this country.

Bernie and AOC going all over the country playing to packed crowds, including in red districts.

Well good. At least it's something. I'll give it that much.

An old nationally unpopular guy and a young nationally unpopular woman.

I happen to like both of them--a lot, but they're not where the party needs to be right now.

AOC is unpopular among conservatives because she is liberal and attractive. That is like all they have on her. That woman knows how to play ball and will likely be a Senator.

What the party needs now? It isn't like the the GOP has supermajorities. The Democrats faced an awful Senate election in 2024, and despite losing states to Trump, they held most of the Senate seats in the blue states. Ohio seems to be a lost cause with all the anger after 25 years of growing conservative GOP state governance. The GOP is trying to rig the House elections in Texas because they fear the Dems will take the House back in part due to Trump's polling and in part due to historical convention of the party in power having issues in Mid-terms. So clearly, the Democrats are not out of it or losing by huge margins. Heck, Trump became the first GOP candidate to win the popular vote since W in 2004.

Personally, I'm much less worried about losing elections than I am about the status of the Supreme Court and their Roper Bright, Dobbs, President can't be touched decisions, following by the DC Court of Appeals that ruled the Trump contempt ruling was outside their jurisdictional venue... but ruled on the damn case anyway. This is what is going to end us. The Democrats could get the trifecta in 2028 (they won't) and they will be powerless.

We are fucked now because of the public's votes for W and Trump. There is little that can be done now, other than not panicking and voting third parties.
