I have determined the reason Democrats are losing support with voters...

[Enter stage left]

We've quit drinking from the skulls of our enemies!

[Ocelot II]

1. Minnesota Democrats are the descendants of Vikings.

And I don't mean that lame, feckless football team. Drinking from the skulls of our enemies might be on the agenda next. Skål!

[Sparkly]

2. Makes more sense than

the daily theories in the NYTimes!

3. The Democratic Party Has A McClellan Problem

As in Gen George B McClellan. Lots of great plans, logistics and initiative, but it lacks the ability to put itself into situations where it might get a bloody nose.

[Intractable]

4. I'll go with ... the right-wing media empire and it's many subsidiaries.

There are many Republican voters who do not necessarily like the Republican Party, but f*cking hate the Democratic Party.

It's what they are taught by their parents, peers, and media.

[JI7]

5. Why aren't people supporting Jasmine Crockett for Senate ?

[Buckeyeblue]

6. I don't disagree. But that's not who many of us are

Most Democrats i know are intelligent pragmatic people who don't believe there are simple solutions to complex problems. We're not inclined to use phrases that start with "always" or "never". We tend to be more comfortable with ambiguity, nuance and subjectivity.

And that puts us in stark contrast with a majority of the country who prefer quick sound bites from overly confident people who make declarations out of ignorance and promise impossible achievements.

But maybe we need to think about how to sell our vision in a way that is more definite and resolute.
