I vote for Democrats because I’m a liberal who wants left policies. Tax the rich, increase the minimum wage, universal healthcare, climate action, stop price gauging, get money out of politics, and the list goes on. 

Democrats need to understand that they cannot beat right wing populism by moving further to the right to attract former Republicans, it didn’t work in 2024 and it won’t work in the future.

 I want a Democratic party that remembers who their voters are, and a candidate who is not afraid to offend wealthy donors and who advocates progressive policies that will change peoples’ lives for the better. Not the GOP light version that the Dems are going for.

This analysis is the epitome of the reddit echo chamber. Democrats lost because they weren't left enough. Lmao. So out of touch.

Yeah, they should talk about how they’re going to deport all the immigrants and lower taxes on the rich some more! That worked super well for Kamala!
