It’s more that they weren’t prepared for this kind of intensity, and don’t have a great pre-planned message for coup against congress and the constitution by the executive.
The typical DNC member is a union official or party activist, and comes into this with limited savings.
What excuse would they have for not being prepared? This is their whole damned job. If they werent prepared and dont know what their constituents want, they need to be fired.
Stop making excuses for this failed political party. They need to be made irrelevant.
Nancy insider trading Pelosi? Chuck Schumer?
The only ones who even appear as leftists are the progressives, which the Democratic party keeps in a tight little cage to never escape.
The progressives haven’t appeared leftist in a very long time, excepting Omar and Talib, tbh.
Sure, but they don’t have any real power, as evidence by DNC policy favoring the capitalist class over the workers literally every single time.
Note that they’re not asking what we could have done differently over the last 4 years, they’re asking how they should have messaged differently.
Schumer accusing Trump of defunding the police should tell you all you need to know about what anyone capable of influencing the party wants the party to be.
The DNC has very limited power compared with elected officials; they fundraise, support campaigns, set rules for primaries, and set rules for the convention delegates to agree on a party platform. They have no votes in Congress.
What can pass in Congress is determined by the last marginal vote needed to hit either a 50-vote or 60-vote threshold, so it tends to be determined by what’s ok with the most right-wing Democrat. Which is why you see the kind of policies we’ve seen.
In the current situation, the main power of the DNC is the ability to make noise. And they need to be doing that as much as possible.
