THE EDITORIAL BOARD (NYTimes)
“The Democrats Are in Denial About 2024

“Polls make clear that inflation was not the only reason. Voters also trusted Republicans more than Democrats on immigration, crime, government spending, global trade and foreign policy.
Already, many voters believe that Democrats refuse to admit uncomfortable truths on some subjects, including crime, illegal immigration, inflation and Covid lockdowns.”

Party leaders have embraced convenient excuses. This perilous political moment requires more self-reflection and honesty.

The title of the editorial flatly declared, "The Democrats Are in Denial About 2024."

The Times editorial comes as the Democratic Party’s approval rating has been at one of its lowest points in modern history. According to national polls from CNN and NBC News published earlier this month, just 29% and 27% of respondents, respectively, say they view the party favorably. These represent the lowest approval numbers for the party surveyed by those outlets since the early '90s.

The NYT editorial board hammered "many party leaders" who have "decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their message" following their "comprehensive defeat."

According to the outlet, the party has turned to a "convenient explanation for their plight," namely that forces beyond its control, like "postpandemic inflation" hurt its chances, as well as the fact that they just need to message better. "If Democrats could only communicate better, particularly on social media and podcasts, the party would be fine," the board stated, summarizing part of their denial.

The outlet mentioned how new Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin insists that the party has the "right message" and just needs a way to "connect it back with the voters." It also provided the example of former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., recently telling voters that "90 million" people stayed home last election and the party has to get their support.

Trump and the Repubs own the haters and bigots. We all know that. They also believe the lies generated by Trump and the leadership, thoughtlessly. The super wealthy have a strong group of people who help them rule. All they needed was a way to sway enough from other groups to vote for them. Trump exploited racism, hate, and ridiculous social problems to get barely enough votes to win.
Let the American experiment die so our daughters will not have to compete against one of the 6 to 10 transitioning trans in America.
