    The Democrat party claims they want to be a big tent party, but they’re doing a piss poor job of getting a majority of voters to come into their tent.

      The adjective form of ‘Democrat’ is ‘Democratic’, not the stupid and grammatically incorrect form Republicans decided to push in the late 2000s.

        I don’t think the Democrats should try to make a party for everyone. I don’t think that’s even possible. Fortunately, democracy doesn’t require unanimous consensus. A simple majority will do.

      From what I can tell, much of the 49% that voted Democrat is actively rooting for the starvation of America right now. It’s not a good look when basic food staples are becoming cost-prohibitive and your party is seen to be supportive of it.

      Then there are the Democrats with actual power in Washington, they’re just doing what they always do: making speeches and voting for the interests of the wealthy, who don’t even need the money anyway.

        48.3% of those who voted in the 2024 presidential election, voted for Harris. However, those voters represent less than 1/3 of all eligible voters, far from a majority.
