The Democratic party refused to understand that courting the right doesn't work, and now it's cost them the election

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

So you decided to hate me and the entire country I'm from based on the actions of a single person?
and nah mate i dont really hate brits or anybody i'm just doing drama. I think you're wrong tho
Surely it's true that in order for a party to win an election it has to persuade centrist voters, undecided voters, registered independents, etc. An average person who isn't too invested in politics.
There is no such thing as the center. There is the elite on one side, and the rest of the people on the other. You don't win election by coopting the right worldview and whine about immigrants.
I think a lot of people don't see it that way. E.g. there are many working class people across America who support Trump.
Maybe they could vote for the Democrats if the Democrats can earn more blue-collar credentials, and if they can paint the Republicans as the party of the rich. Perhaps the GOP is the party of the rich, but they now also have supporters who aren't rich at all.
I love albion, my fam\s from britanny I wish it wouldnt't have been invaded by german. Imagine a celtic britain, It'd be glorious.
Nah I think it's more about what you represent :3 the right labour. The racial pact. The left hand of margaret.
