In a trio of focus groups, even voters who previously backed Democrats cast the party as weak and overly focused on diversity and elites, according to research by the progressive group Navigator Research.
When asked to compare the Democratic Party to an animal, one participant compared the party to an ostrich because “they’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing.” Another likened them to koalas, who “are complacent and lazy about getting policy wins that we really need.” Democrats, another said, are “not a friend of the working class anymore.”
“I think what the Democratic elites and their politicians believe is often very different from what the average Democratic voter is,” said a Georgia man who voted for Biden in 2020 but Trump in 2024. “The elites that run the Democratic Party — I think they’re way too obsessed with appealing to these very far-left social progressivism that’s very popular on college campuses.”
Lagging turnout was a major problem for Democrats in November. One woman from Georgia who didn’t vote in 2024 said that she didn’t agree with Harris’ “thinking that it’s okay for children to change their body parts.”
“I think that there needs to be some parameters on what’s accepted in society and what isn’t. Some of the societal norms, and I think that the Democrats have tried to open that up a little too much,” said a woman from Wisconsin who also didn’t vote in 2024.
When asked by the moderator if she was referring to the “trans issue,” the woman said, “primarily that.”
New research shows the massive hole Dems are in
“After widespread Democratic losses, the party brand is weak, and Trump is strong,” as the clear-eyed researchers at GBAO summarized following post-election focus groups conducted with various ex-Democrats and disengaged voters.
In the aftermath of losing a second election to Donald Trump, this time in a far more decisive manner, non-delusional Democrats have concluded that their party brand is in the toilet. “In the toilet” implying that the party image is something repulsive to many voters that needs to be flushed away as soon as possible, not something to be salvaged for future use.
Delusional Democrats, of course, say everything is fine, 2024 was close even though Harris lost the popular vote and all the battleground states, and more anti-MAGA, anti-Trump resistance will lead the party to Valhalla. No need to worry about the party’s image.
