Summary

Following Kamala Harris’s unexpected defeat, Democratic leaders are scrutinizing their party’s failures, particularly with working-class voters.

Figures like Bernie Sanders, Chris Murphy, and Ro Khanna argue the party lacks a strong economic message, especially for those frustrated with stagnant mobility and neoliberal policies.

Sanders emphasized Democrats’ disconnect from working-class concerns, while Murphy criticized the party’s unwillingness to challenge wealthy interests.

DNC Chair Jaime Harrison announced he won’t seek re-election, leaving the party’s leadership in flux as Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries prepare to assume top roles amid a Republican resurgence.

    As an undecided voter, the Democrats picked too expensive of a restaurant, so I’ll have what the Republicans are having, even though it’s moldy dog food.

    (Edit: This is meant to be sarcastic and insulting to those who voted for Trump “because of the economy” if it’s not obvious already, not to imply I was actually stupid enough to do that myself.)

      The funny thing is that people vote for the GOP to save the economy but they are the ones who have ruined the economy on a regular basis/
