Your parent's Democratic Party is dead
The democrat party is nothing like it once was. It is now an elitist collection of bi coastal secular progressives appealing to an ever radicalized further left than ever urban fringe. They have lost middle America and the working class and are about to lose Hispanic and African American support too.

Your parent's Democratic Party is dead
It is difficult to find an area of growth for Democrats today
Long gone is the Democratic Party of your parents’ generation. They have morphed and contorted themselves into a political party no longer relatable or recognizable to most of America.
Today’s Democratic Party embraces the extreme, rewards the radical, shuns the sensible, and caters to the contemptible.

Not too long ago there were Democrats who were concerned about the finances of the country. They were affectionately referred to as "Blue Dog Democrats" who were worried about deficits and debt. There is no place for them in today’s Democratic Party. President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris just introduce the largest budget ever with the largest tax increase ever requested. There very few "Blue Dogs" in Congress, and they are on their way to extinction.
Leftist policies have become so extreme, even traditional liberals no longer recognize today’s Democratic party. With never ending mask mandates, mandatory vaccinations, and control of individual self-determination, liberalism has been abandoned.
In the case of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) they have altered their liberal approach to free speech for everyone, no matter what they say. Now the ACLU that first considers if it is an assistance to the progressives. They even went so far as to justify mask mandates, stating, "Far from compromising civil liberties, vaccine mandates actually further them." Really?
Ira Glasser, the outspoken former ACLU Executive Director in January 2022 told Bill Maher, ""The ACLU has become … more of a political partisan, what they call ‘progressive’ organization."
Today’s Democratic Party prioritizes illegal entry into the USA while abandoning the rule of law. They fight for the suspected and convicted criminals while ignoring the victims.
Often you will hear Democrats refer to rural America with contempt, labeling them as clinging to their guns and their religion while simultaneously lumping them together as uneducated. Rarely do you here them talk about "middle America" nor express a genuine understanding of what life is like outside of New York, Washington, and San Francisco.
Bill Hogseth, chair of the Dunn County Democratic Party in Wisconsin, in 2020 wrote in Politico, "The pain and struggle in my community is real, yet rural people do not feel it is taken seriously by the Democratic Party. My fear is that Democrats will continue to blame rural voters for the red-sea electoral map and dismiss these voters as backward."
Democrats are losing blue collar workers, parents, young voters, Hispanics, etc. It is difficult to find an area of growth for Democrats today.
It is policy that is repelling the voters. Inflation, energy, foreign policy, immigration, taxes, crime, and extreme positions on mask mandates, gender, and education all are driving people away from the Democratic Party.

Beyond the policy positions, they also lack dynamic leadership. Clinton and Obama were charismatic personalities that brought people into the party. Not anymore.
Joe Biden was supposed to be a uniter, a man with a plan, and a seasoned senator who could get things done in Congress. None of those turned out to be true. Combined with his poor communication skills, and a Vice President who speaks incoherently, there is not much hope for the Democratic Party’s future. They have failed to build a bench of upcoming leaders that relates to anyone outside New York and San Francisco.
With policy that lurched to the far left and leadership that is aging out, today’s Democratic Party is dead. While the leaders of the Democratic Party wonder out loud, "Why don’t they like us more," most Americans understand today’s party is no longer offers them a home.

Historically, the best presidential candidates are:
So if the incumbent doesn't run (too old and feeble) and the VP is not viable (and she isn't), my guess is you're looking for a Democratic governor from a large-medium sized state, preferably with a bit of a centrist background who can run well in enemy territory.
Gavin Newsome has the hair, but could probably only beat Trump in a national election.
Inslee would never be able to overcome the never-ending shenanigans in Seattle.
Roy Cooper of NC looks interesting, as does Andy Beshear of KY.
Supposedly Biden told Obama that he intends to run in 2024. It seems that Obama doesn't like the idea.
NO Roy Cooper. He is my governor and a piss poor one at that. Sorry
I'm not endorsing the man or anything. We're just brainstorming over a viable Democrat who might run. He's certainly a more electable option than Cory Booker or Kamala Harris.
Can't argue that but if you think the world thinks Biden is weak, Cooper would be one step above Jimmy Carter and we don't need another.
Indeed. He recently vetoed several very good bills and may well be overridden if it hasn’t happened already. The same for the democrat governors of Kentucky and Kansas.
Fair enough.
I'm just curious as to which Democrat is going to step up. Unless Trump gets the Republican nomination, I don't see any way Biden can win....and frankly I'm not sure he could beat Trump again the way things are going.
But you look for the next Bill Clinton or Barack Obama and I just don't see anybody.
Nor does anyone else. That’s why they say the Dems have such a weak bench. Newscum may be all they got.
Good thing that the Republican Party is so consistent.
Hey, look over there, it is something shiny.
You don’t see any irony in a Republican commenting on how much the Democratic Party has changed? Ronald Reagan would be run out of this country on a rail by today’s Republican Party for being an out of control progressive.
Ronald Reagan would be run out of this country on a rail by today’s Republican Party for being an out of control progressive.
And Bill Clinton as an out of control conservative.
Not to mention JFK…
Neither party is what it was 50 years ago, that's what normally occurs over time. My biggest complaint about both of them is that the extremists have taken charge in both parties and stupid reigns.
Thankfully I am a centrist who disapproves of far-right wing fascism.
It is the left wing and big tech internet corporations that are the Fascists in America
I see the normal people here making unsubstantiated claims that this is false. Too bad that none of them have provided anything to the contrary.
Jeremy, when have you ever provided "evidence" for anything you have said?
Never.
You are only fooling yourself.
I've provided it plenty of times. Your acknowledgement of it is not my problem. But at least try not to make yourself look the fool here. Oh, wait...
And in the words of your cronie

That is the progressive way…
Even far-right wing fascists know that Trump will never win another election.
Proud to be a progressive who actually cares about folk. (except for you).
That seems to be a Russian thingy.

Why do you ask someone a question and then proceed to answer it?
Because you really don't want to hear the answer.
Meh, my parents are also dead ... so many graves to dance on ... @!@
I guess the true test of this seed will be seen on November 9th.
No, it will be so lopsided that we will all know the great results by the end of November 8, east coast time.
