    I think this is certainly true of the Republican Party. But ignoring republican voters is political suicide. There are too many of them. They must be reckoned with, one way or another.

        They cheered for the party that said they were going to improve things, while the Democrats looked at the abysmal state of America and said “Yeah, things are going well, expect more of the same”.

        Stealing Republican voters is a viable strategy, but the Democrats need to address the economic issues that drive those votes, not just buddy up with Republican war hawks like Harris did

          Trump only got three million more votes in 2024. Harris got six million fewer votes than Biden.

          Democrats and independents sat at home because of the lack of a plan to improve things from the Dems.
