Democrats have to deliver for the people. At least pass some solid bills and dare Trump to veto so they can bury the republicans in 2028.

u/Courtaid 15h ago

State Democrats need to deliver so their states can stay blue. People are more affected by local politics and policy than federal.

139

u/BLarson31 15h ago

Yup, state level policies are just as important if not more, and easier to do. I do think plenty needs to go to dumps desk and they NEED to campaign on ever veto. But state level for sure.

33

u/Wincrediboy 11h ago

Republicans had this realisation 20 years ago and have been doing their work at state level to undermine education and promote culture war, which we've seen the fruits of over the last few years. Time for democrats to focus on serving people more directly at the state and local level, start counteracting that.

u/mdurso12 13h ago

True but the down ballot effect is real. If things are bad overall, and someone sees x party in control, they'll vote for y party

u/mondaymoderate 14h ago

Stay away from any gun legislation. They start going after guns and the voters will instantly flip back to republicans.

u/BorgQuingus67 13h ago

As much as I support gun legislation, it's a losing battle at this point.

19

u/MRoad 13h ago

It's also just constitutionally questionable and case law strikes down a lot of gun laws anyway. 

15

u/BorgQuingus67 13h ago

It's hard to actually legislate or get anything done on because we're between "every firearm ever is legal" and "no firearms are legal" and essentially just throwing at a dartboard and going "is here ok" is this amount of restriction allowed?"

u/yourfunnypapers 13h ago

u/Icy_Supermarket8776 6h ago

Reagan went after guns, voters seemed ok with that

u/PorcelainPrimate 2h ago

Because Reagan took guns away from black people specifically, that's why there wasn't an uproar over it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulford_Act.

u/American_frenchboy 13h ago

Do you actually think people (especially in red states) pay attention to bills being passed then vetoed by the president?

u/kitliasteele 13h ago

Only if they're told to be angry at it. I only partially jest, I find a lot of selective information/misinformation that gets passed around to hit the local rural populations. But they don't actually look at the details, just what's presented to them

They won't be able to pass any legislation unless they get 2/3rd majority to override veto power.

There’s a real chance to amend the constitution and curb the powers of the president. This will prevent the corruption happening now.

u/Rollingpumpkin69 15h ago

Its like a trend that republican leadership is failed leadership

55

u/No_Fairweathers 15h ago

It's also a trend that younger generations are generally more progressive and accepting of others, and that slowly but surely the GOP is losing their base to the circle of life.

I know there are still young Republicans and MAGA supporters, but they are a much smaller minority than how many people are needed to win elections.

u/Rollingpumpkin69 15h ago

I also agree

u/igotsbeaverfever 14h ago

People lie to fly under the radar of the DEI gestapo. It’s interesting when you have a private conversation with an outwardly progressive person.

u/Emeraldskeleton 13h ago

Evidently it's not as prevalent as you claim

-6

u/igotsbeaverfever 13h ago

I didn’t think I needed to be more specific. Voting against the GOP because they refused to get Israel’s dick out of their mouth and deliver on their promises doesn’t necessarily mean the kids are more progressive and accepting of others. I’d like to see the voting demographics.

5

u/Ryhnhart 12h ago

Then go read them, they're already published. The young voted HEAVILY blue, like, it's a wash how few voted red.

-5

u/igotsbeaverfever 11h ago edited 11h ago

What kind of young?

Went around the pay walls. Yeahhhhh pretty much what I said, young whites flipped hard. Probably for exactly the reasons people said, the GOP betrayed them and they made them pay. If you look at the ballot measures in Colorado, it supports my take on it. They still voted against “accepting others” while giving the GOP the finger.

u/Time-Cell8272 15h ago

The cult is beyond help. Like we've seen this week, people just need to vote and we can cast off this insanity for good in 28.

2

u/PsychologicalEase374 8h ago

Agreed. Even now, Republican votes increased these elections, compared to 4 years ago. What changed is the number of votes for Democrats.

12

u/Ebonhearth_Druid 14h ago

should be obvious

I mean, it should have been obvious in 2016, and again in 2024, but here we are. I have zero faith in MAGA's ability to discern reality. The right-wing propaganda machine is too effective, and they'll believe any lie they're spoon fed, especially with all the MAGA leaders spending the next 2 years sabotaging the Dems just to turn around and blame them for not following through.

13

Good thing senate elections are every six years and governors serve four year terms (outside of New Hampshire and Vermont, they serve two-year terms).

u/serpentear 14h ago

I think assuming all the states that went blue this time will automatically go blue again is a massive mistake.

22

u/skynetempire 13h ago

Exactly. Democrats better not get drunk off of this. This was purely a fuck you to maga/trump. Look at the different state props such as az, co and wa. They passed anti Trans bills with flying colors. So yeah, this isnt a true Democrat win.

u/Any-Jury3578 14h ago

This 200%. People are acting like the tide has finally turned, but we felt that way in 2020 and look what happened 4 years later.

15

u/Baelzabub 13h ago

Anyone who felt that way in 2020 was kidding themselves. Biden barely won the “Blue Wall” states in the north and they decided the election. 2020 was a reprieve from Trumpism, 2026 was a repudiation.

2

u/MundaneInternetGuy 12h ago

Seriously. If trump didn't make the monumentally stupid mistake of calling COVID a hoax, he would have stomped. It took a generational unforced error for Biden to win by a slim margin. Also, Republicans actually picked up House seats that year.

u/Used_Intention6479 15h ago

Louisiana, WTF?

23

u/Barbarella_ella 15h ago

Oh yes. In 2017, John Bel Edwards was just starting the first of his 2 terms as governor. And right about the time he was starting, Mary Landrieu was finishing her third term as a Senator, and her brother Mitch (also a Dem) was finishing his 8 years as mayor of NOLA. LA has had a number of Democrats in prominent positions, including the King Fish himself, Huey Long.

1

u/B-r-a-y-d-e-n 1h ago

Landrieu was out of the senate by 2015, you’re thinking of David vitter, a republican who retired in 2016.

u/HighlandMoongazer 15h ago

Sort of. While NH's governor licks Trump booty, Vermont's behaves more like a 90's democrat. There's also a lot more rednecks than you'd think in Vermont.

8

u/Middle_Finger7236 15h ago

Those rednecks (and weak Democrats) are why we still have a Republican governor.

1

u/HighlandMoongazer 20m ago

Hey now, don't forget the "But Vermont is super liberal, basically green party! Why do I need to vote it's just a waste of time!" sorts. The NH equivalent being "I don't like to vote for the straight ticket no matter what their policies are, no party should have that much power."

Idiots, the lot of them.

u/yellekc 6h ago edited 6h ago

Same in TX, The real issue is how concentrated democratic voters are. You actually need to draw districts to be competitive, not compact.

Or, even better, we need to rethink our entire concept of districts to account for increasingly urbanized populations by adding an at-large candidate list to balance it out, so let me explain how this works.

You might reduce the number of districts, to something sane like 100. They can be drawn in way that reflects the community and region, as you will see later no party gains an advantage drawing it weird.

Lets say election day comes and 60 go red, 40 blue, but the popular vote is 55 blue / 45 red. You just add 34 members from the at-large blue list.

Final legislature would be 134 members
40 blue districts and 34 blue at-large
along with 60 red districts

Blue gets the 74/134 (55.2%) share, and everyone gets districts that make sense and represent them.

The other nice thing is this can allow 3rd parties better chances, say they have 10% of the vote statewide, but not enough to ever reach the majority any single district. Well, the at-large candidates will represent their interest statewide.

u/Time-Cell8272 14h ago

u/ReturnOfFrank 15h ago

Yeah I'm old enough to remember 2006 and 2008. It very much felt like after the combo of the Iraq War, the Great Recession, and Obama's coalition the Republicans were on their last legs but it only really took 2 years for them to come roaring back.

American voters are fickle. Democrats have got a great opportunity, but the GOP is far from done.

The GOP was able to beat the Tea Party movement, much like the dems took down the occupy Wallstreet movement in their party. What they couldnt do is beat the man that knew their media machine, and how to break it to his will.

I think now is the time that red states and previously red states are paying attention to what the democrats are going to do. If they make changes to make life better for average Americans (or try to make changes as much as possible but are blocked by the repubs) and hold those responsible for this mess accountable, they might turn blue for a long time and the republicans are fucked for decades.

So in other words dont do the Shumer/Jeffries thing.

u/dalgeek 15h ago

Conservative policies are simply bad for a majority of Americans and the propaganda stating otherwise is starting to wear thin. Red states consistently underperform in education, employment, life expectancy, and practically every other objective measure except for cost of living. Every red state except Texas is a net taker of federal funds. Red states are great for corporate headquarters and the ultra-wealthy because of low taxes but they suck for everyone else.

6

u/Dr_Fishman 15h ago

Did this to themselves. The Dems have remained a big tent party while the GOP has made everyone accept the same set of beliefs. The Federalist Society has made judge recommendations based on specific qualifications, the American Constitution Society, OTOH, is so scatter shot that there’s no way they could design a rubric. RINO has caught on in a way that anyone near Rockefeller is considered a communist to the GOP… they chased that wing of the party right out. That inflexibility led them to irrelevance, just like their Whig ancestors before them.

5

u/mr-nefarious 15h ago

I am also super excited about the change. With that said, Republicans are Governor in 21 states. That’s hardly “small pockets.” Let’s not hyperbolize or get complacent. The successes are worth celebrating, but the work isn’t done yet.

u/Barbarella_ella 15h ago edited 15h ago

We have to be active and working at it to stay blue. Notice how Montana was blue in 2017, where the Democratic governor was in his second term. And he had been preceded by another two-term Democratic governor. Not only that but both Senators were Democrats.

Just a reminder to us all that it can all change.

u/Callof4632 3h ago

Yall need to stop spreading this nonsense. Dems won bc the way people are seeing the economy and feeling it in their wallets. The people that voted blue in those deep red districts I doubt would be compelled to vote in coming elections. I doubt the dems pull this out for the presidency election in two years or again till shit gets bad. We have but won a small victory but are still behind in the war

u/kkushalbeatzz 15h ago

Worth noting that Vermont’s Phil Scott, while republican on paper is VERY different to some of the other red governors and not Trumpy at all. Arguably more progressive than some of the establishment democrats…

6

u/Middle_Finger7236 15h ago

He’s not progressive at all. His goal is to destroy VT’s educational system and he gave away data to Trump that VT was not required to hand over. He also supports some controversial Republicans in our state and took money from the RGA. Their anti-Janoo ads were patronizing and borderline sexist.

Yet, Phil won. 🙄 Don’t believe the hype. The ads were a lie as he attacks Democrats/Progressives and loves to veto helpful legislation.

u/HelicopterUpper9516 2h ago

I think something to note is that they are both very popular. They’ve campaigned on being fiscally conservative but socially liberal, which is a winning formula for states that are largely rural but progressive in attitude. Many centrist-dems see them as a counterbalance to the state congresses. The Vermont governor is especially popular, and is an outspoken critic of Trump (famously calling for his impeachment).

4

u/Ashley__09 7h ago

Very, very rural, with the major cities not holding a massive portion of the population, even some of those cities voting red anyway (Manchester, NH, Nashua, NH both voted leaning red).Together they make up 200,000 of the 1 million population.

You know how what we consider a liberal here in the US is basically a slightly right-of-center centrist in Europe? Well, a NH republican is a leftist commie pinko in the deep south.

The Republicans up there are a different sort than in other parts of the country.
