I wasn’t aware that they had any strategy other than Orange Man Bad with a side of Republicans Are Evil
Democrats might be ‘overthinking’ strategy to recapture voters
Democrats are rethinking ways to recapture voters they’ve lost to President Trump in recent election cycles, and they may have been offered an important lesson in the New York mayoral primary.
In various post-mortems and focus groups done on the heels of their devastating 2024 election loss, Democrats have thoroughly examined exit polls and voter demographics in search of the gaps in their party’s appeal.
But Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha, who served as a senior adviser on Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) presidential campaign in 2020, said Democrats are “overthinking” the solution by analyzing the voters who flipped sides or skipped voting during the last election.
“It’s more simple than that,” Rocha said. “Just concentrate on people who are frustrated as hell and get both of them.”
Rocha pointed to the New York mayoral race as proof. He says progressive upstart-turned-party nominee Zohran Mamdani (D) was able to capture voters — including those who did not vote a few months ago in the presidential election — by talking about affordability and other tangible economic issues that appealed to them.
Rocha said voters “want anything that’s different” from the status quo when it comes to the cost of living.
If they want to settle on a hardcore Islamist Extremist and full on Jew hater masquerading as a hardcore Modern Socialist, have at it. Mamdandi won with around 20% turnout in a closed primary with ranked choice to Andrew Freaking Cuomo, and it was really the Youts who truly do not know better that drove the win. Youts that saw a crappy economy post-COVID, with Biden in the White House, and Democrats in charge of NY and NYC.
While many Democrats disagree with Mamdani’s politics, they say the campaign he ran shows the unwavering preeminence of economic issues. And Trump taught the same lesson in 2024, political observers say, by telling voters what they wanted to hear on the economy and his message on “draining the swamp.”
Trump campaigned on freedom and capitalism, Mamdani campaigned on Government giving people everything and being in charge of their lives. With zero idea how to do it.
But the New York City electorate is drastically different from the rest of the country, political observers say, noting someone like Mamdani may not appeal to moderates and centrists.
“Being a self-proclaimed democratic socialist … doesn’t play in swing districts. It plays in New York City primaries,” Del Percio said. “The Democratic candidates have to look more like Elissa Slotkin talking about the cost of living than they do Mamdani talking about the cost of living.”
Gee, you think? Why is NYC so unaffordable? Who has been and is now in charge of NYC? Really, if they want to go full on Modern Socialist for the 2026 midterms and 2028 general, this should be fun. Trump won’t be running in 2028, but, they’ll still run against him. If they want to run on Big Government in charge, that will be fun to watch.
The strategy is to persuade young voters that they are about to lose their nation to a fascist movement. First, they have to be persuaded to register to vote. The rest is up to them.
Older voters will be persuaded by the horrors of MAGAtism. Recession, hatred, war, uncertainty, ignorance and tragedy.
Let trump be trump. Get your LTBT caps here!
ED, master strategist, said: “The strategy is to persuade young voters that they are about to lose their nation to a fascist movement.”
Yes, by all means, continue with this “strategy” you’ve used since time immemorial. Calling anyone and anything you don’t like “fascist” is immensely persuasive and has worked so well for the Democrat party — just ask President Harris.
Operation Let Democrats Talk is working like a charm — and the dunce caps you voluntarily wear are simply icing on the cake. Every time you open your yap, the rest of us have a good laugh.
Both sides ignore that the United States economy, whether considered good, e.g. Clinton, Obama, Biden or Repubicun, e.g., Raygun, Bush, Trump, TrumpII, is designed to redistribute wealth UP from the working class to the political donor class. Every policy – labor, trade, insurance, banking, bankruptcy, employment etc – is designed to support that redistribution. It’s not a natural occurence.
When “the people” get fed up with the Repubic/Demo standard of the last half century, the Social Dems or Dem Socialists will become competitive – look to states such as Israel, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland etc as examples. Regulated capitalism!!
Nations where 1% of the “the people” have 50% of the assets do not survive.
Jew hatred ???
80% of American Jews vote Dem
Mr Teach do you hate Dems? If you do you hate Jews. Jew hatred equals Dem hatred
The likes of Mr teach have been reduced to mouthing the words of their Dear Leader. They call Mr Mamdani a Jew-Hater, an Islamist extremist, a full communist, an anti-Semite… The MAGA movement thrives on fear. Keep the people afraid and you control them.
What the Repubicun chiefs fear is truth, reason and especially, democracy.
Youts ? Still got that Jersey accent?
Teach the older you get, the more jealous of youts you get. Your future social security payments depend on
the number of “youts” increasing. We need immigration, we need migrants. White men are not becoming fathers.
Mr teach typed:
LOL. No. He campaigned on exporting millions of those vile brown immigrant robbers and rapists and making those inscrutable chinamen pay YOUR taxes!
Big Donnie campaigned on white nationalism. “Make America White Again!”
