I am more emboldened to post this post last night than now haha - Random musings on how democrats can actually start winning in future elections:
(Disclaimer: I am not an election expert nor a political strategist. This is just how I think things may pan out. It’s important to win to govern. I could be wrong about every single thing on this list!)
-
Give up on illegal immigrants. Its clear that most latin people dont care for their own people trying to make a better life so you want me to care about them now? Nope. The party needs to move very right on this because the normal populace does not want it.
-
Give up on birthright citizenship: Its not a winning message. It says nothing. A good majority of the world doesnt even allow you to become a citizen or have birthright citizenship so you might as well give it up. Blame it on staying with the times.
-
Crime and homelessness in cities: Nobody, not even democrats support housing homelessness in their cities. Stop with this posturing and do something about it. Every time I visit Seattle I find that place getting worse and worse and democrats want me to believe somehow thats ok.
-
Be honest about economy: One of the worst economic messages of this election cycle was the stock market. Empathize with regular people. Even as a top earners in country, we felt the pinch of inflation. Empathize that economy has not worked for people and listen.
-
Give up on NATO in short-term: Of all the things that I might have ever agreed with Trump on, this was the one. I don’t fucking want my country handling your issue. Europe issues are Europe issues, let them deal with it - even at the expense of China having undue influence.
-
Fuck the Middle East. Nobody cares. They dont even care for each other you want me to care for them? Nah.
-
For heaven’s sake, nominate a straight white man with a few white kids for president. Those days of colored folks or women winning are over in short term.
If this sounds dangerously America First, it probably is. In case of a wildfire I am not helping my neighbor escape until I make sure my own family escapes my burning house. Once I secure them maybe then I will think about my neighbor. Thats all.
