Democrats will try anything but policy.

Being Mamdani without the policies isn't being Mamdani. America's appetite for Obama types is waning.

I'm sure that having leadership sanction Democrats voting for ICE funding after they murdered an American citizen, withholding support for the progressives that won the primaries, and stating their job is to ensure funding for Israel is their first step in proving they deserver another chance.

Again, big talk, no actions from these A-holes.

Volunteers will undergo a seven-week training program on how to better engage these voters, including sessions on “active listening” and “having difficult conversations about politics”.

Seven weeks of paychecks for the consultants, but the party members they actually want to go out and do the real work of talking to people are just expected to volunteer. Sounds like the Democratic party I know and loathe.

No mention of changing any of the policy stances, alliances with far right war criminals, and other substance based reasons for what they pretend to be laziness or apathy.

As usual, they're taking the Aaron Sorkin approach to politics where it's all about giving the right speeches and pretending to listen (while refusing to take action based on what they're told) and what you actually DO is immaterial 🤦

Until they stop acting like the country (and by extension the world) is a ridiculously condescending work of fiction with themselves as the main characters (and thus the only ones that REALLY matter), they will keep losing out on critically needed votes and therefore be accomplices to the ravages of fascism their carelessness enables.

Super easy, barely an inconvenience... do the opposite of everything happening in the current administration. Don't court the middle/right. Publicly recognize the lack of accountability and publish plans to do so.

Pfff, yea right. Until they go grass roots, this is all smoke and mirrors. The voters have gotten tired of it and want actual change (which is a big reason why we're in this mess). Get rid of Schumer and the rest of the corpocrats, and look at what the people actually want. That'll never happen.

It’s seem like an out there idea but have they try doing their job? Might help

Shut down ICE. You'll be the party in power. Fix voting access, nationalize mail in voting resources (states run the elections)

Promote down ballot leftists

Repeal citizens united

They'll never lose another national election

With jefferies, Schummer, Newsome and Kamala forget about it

Guess the one benefit of living in a deep red Midwestern state is they'll never try that crap here. Not gonna waste breath on people that value donations over human lives.

Two words:

President Clooney

We will listen to you then do whatever we always planed to do anyway

Hmm. Opening new offices and hiring people seems more like a way to keep the cycle of donor money moving, rather than a strategy to win…absent any actual messaging or policy changes from Democratic leadership.

When I read the article I expected the regional initiatives to have some sort of mechanism to change messaging and policy. It doesn’t seem to me that “listening” is what’s needed…we know exactly what these potential voters want.

seems far better to listen to your frequent voters in the base turned off by leaderships inability to listen to them then it is to chase mythical focus group groups.

Say they're going to raise taxes on rich people.

They are infrequent voters because they listened to what Democrats said then they watched what Democrats did. Democrats can't be trusted.

"Corpodems launch aggressive campaign to get votes by doing literally anything other than what the people want" 🥱

Just tell them JD fucked the proverbial couch. They’ll get right up.
