Mine would be:

1.) Why did my party feel compelled to think I needed to be fed lies in order to get my vote?

2.) Why did I want to believe the worst in other, while not understanding the censorship, misinformation and use of government to squash citizens would eventually hurt me?

31.) Why did my party, up and down leadership which included military general, the free press and other folks who should have extreme character feel so compelled to feed me lies and think they would be protected.


I am sure there are much better question good Democrats should be pondering about now.

Good Democrats already asked themselves those questions.

That's why Trump swept the swing states and took three of the Blue Wall states.

And turned Pennsylvania red.

What moderate Dems need to do is keep asking themselves those questions and ask themselves if they want to go back to supporting a party that is Democrat in name only.

It took a hard turn toward shredding the Constitution and stripping away individual rights if you didn't agree with them.

How did the Democrats lose working Americans in the heartland. Those working class conservative dems were the farmers and the union workersI know the answer but they should still be asking themselves this question. Those Americans are lost for good.

Is abortion on demand really the end-all, be-all winning issue we thought it was?

Is using lawfare to go after former presidents really (a) helpful to our cause and (b) the precedent we want to be setting?

How do we win back men, Hispanic men in particular?

Bonus:
Should we tone it down with the trans stuff?

Is DEI a winning formula for choosing a presidential candidate?

What "good democrats" should be asking is if the party is redeemable. The most interesting facet of this election was the number of life long Democrats we would classify as "classical liberals" that left the party with a parting message that it cannot be fixed. It seems like the party's moderates may have moved on and that's pretty fascinating to see. It'll be really interesting to see where they go from here with two years as the minority party across the board. Right now I think of them only as the political face of the establishment and I view that establishment as the true enemy of the American people.

The U.S. political establishment is the biggest threat to peace and prosperity on earth. It is the biggest purveyor of misinformation and the biggest driver of censorship. It has become far too comfortable lying to its citizens for political gain. They poison us with trash food then poison us with pills to control the symptoms of the trash food. They herd us through our lives via overbearing tax schemes and distract us from what's actually happening via useless social media applications designed to keep us from seeing what they're doing behind our backs. They convince us that our cars are destroying the environment and causing sea levels to rise while they fly all over earth in private jets and buy 8 figure mansions on the coasts.

They convince one side of the population that the other side is racist/misogynistic/homophobic while convincing the other side that gays and women and minorities are the source of all of the world's problems. They are liars and thieves and they are our enemy. The greatness of Trump's remaking of the Republican Party as an America first peace focused party is that the war mongers like Dick Cheney have shown themselves for who they really are. They aren't conservative in anyway. They are war profiteers whose only goal is complete control of the world stage. Trump has created a world where all of the enemies of peace and prosperity are on the same team and that's amazing to see. Now we have to finish the job.
A fearful society is a compliant society. That's why Democrats and criminals prefer their victims to be unarmed. Gun Control is not about guns, it's about control.

Another question: if leftism is so great why did a ticket consisting two of the furthest left candidates on the ballot we've ever had race to the center and deny their leftist positions?

I would be looking around and asking if there are Democrats leadership type folks who might support a return to collegiality and respect of people who are not rock ribbed progressives and want a sense of normalcy about American government, borders, and our political process?

That would be necessary if the party can be salvaged somehow (something I am highly dubious of).

Both parties lack 'adults in the room' about deficit and entitlement spending. If either were to generate a plan with relative sanity about this it could actually work well for them, just some mental appetizers I wish both sides would reflect on.

I thought I was a good Democrat.
But I couldn't deal with their lies and actions anymore

So I left them before Demon Spawn was even a possibility

I think question 1 should be:

Is villifying half the country based on skin color and belief that smart of an idea?

1. Why doesn't the DNC trust me to vote for my preferred candidate in a primary when "democratic" is in the party name?
2. Why is the race/gender of a person the only quality that matters and when did it become acceptable to be antisemitic?
3. Why has my party become the antithesis to free speech?

Why does EVERYONE in my party support this pornographic book ("Gender Queer") in ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS and why do we FREAK THE F OUT and compare governors to "Hitler" when they demand that it is removed...all while we remove classic books like "Huck Finn" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" from schools???

What the actual EFF?

Thanks for sharing but, I certainly felt better not knowing about this.

1. Is championing the cause of micro groups (trans) with such vigor really in the interest of the party when it clearly is not important to middle America?

2. When the country cannot take care of its own poor and destitute is it really wise to allow millions of illegal aliens into the country who will also need assistance and will take the kind of jobs those Americans might seek out?

3. Screaming racism, sexism, bigotry, etc., is clearly not working anymore….what's the new game plan in dealing with the GOP?

Hopefully they don't answer a single one of these .

Yep, even most of the liberals foaming at the mouth and calling Desantis Hitler probably don't realize what exactly they are supporting...Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow probably didn't tell them about these images...they just tell them that anti-LGBTQ Republican "bigots" are removing pro-LGBTQ books.

Similarly, the dem masters of propaganda framed the bill in FL that basically said you can't proselytize to kids 8 yrs old and younger about trans/LGBTQ stuff behind their parents back as the "don't say gay bill"...and ZERO oftheir followers question it.

TBH, I hope none of the liberals wake up to this and keep following their media without question and blindly supporting gay p0rn books in my child's school. It will force even more reasonable people to the right.

I pray they always keep doubling down on the acky perverted sh** they support.

I have never gotten a good response to that question, aside from "well we were all scared!"

That's a fair answer for covid (kindof), but the heck is compelling you to do it with the XX XY issue?

The democratic party will never go away. Too many people will hold tight to their identity as one to let it die. The party will change its views and what it promotes but people will change their views so they can keep that 'democratic' label.
