This is a fun one. I am hoping the Dems are working on this! At the moment, I can not tell although I have seen some indications they are doing focus groups and stopped asking for money every time they communicate.
What one word best describes today’s Democratic party in your mind? Why that word?
.....DISTRACTED. They are out of touch of their customers.
What one word best describes today’s Republican party in your mind? Why that word?
.....MISSING. The are hiding out from their customers and congress.
If you could make one change in how the Democratic party behaves, what would that change be?
.....Communicate their overarching mission, vision, be creative, and fight for it.
What values do Democrats currently project that you connect with? What values do they project that you reject?
.....Connect with: Prodemocracy, United Federal System, Global leadership, Equality for All
.....Reject: Risk aversion, fear of change, fragmentation
What groups or communities do you feel the Democratic party currently neglects or misunderstands?
....Really is not in touch with changing population in general
....Younger generations
Can you name 3-4 democratic leaders you think represent the future of the Democratic party? What characteristics do they share?
.....Articulate, Empathic in real time, Fighters, Fluent in Speaking Truth to Power, Plain English, Stadium sized charisma, Pre-retirement, 45-55 years
.....E.G. Chris Murphy, AOC, Andy Beshear, Jack Schlossberg, Pete Buttigieg, JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, Elissa Slotkin, Mallory McMorrow
If in 10 years, the Democratic party has reinvigorated the US and is wildly popular among voters at all levels, what will they have done?
...Established and proven a new era framework (based on the US constitution (that includes more specific and reinstated equal rights call outs eg. ERA) that recognizes local to global innovation and corresponding economic engines options that be leveraged by local communities, states, and federal initiatives. They usher in the "age of abundance" replacing the zero sum game of that formatted our thinking in the "information age"
I’m speculating but it’s either a repositioning of the Tea Party or the more conservative wing of the GOP. Not sure whether it was organic or deliberate—could be either.
Christopher, I think that it is a repositioning of the Nazi Party. I find myself dumbstruck by their actions. No empathy. I enjoy your columns. Best to Davis.
There is a theory that Musk has intentionally rebranded Tesla. Having already saturated the market for environmentally- friendly ICE alternatives, and without significant improvements to stimulate returning buyers, he’s determined to sell the technology to the other side. Starting with his Mad Max-style Cybertruck, a monstrous battle-axe gobbling resources as it barges down our streets, he’s turned to testosterone and nationalism to promote further sales.
Yep, but it's a risk. we're pretty normal Tesla drivers and we sold both our cars this weekend. Even though we lost money on the deal, we couldn't abide the association with him. This was reinforced as we drove past hundreds of protestors in front of his dealership.

MAGA is a repositioning of what?

The Democratic Party desperately needs more people like you to imagine more successful strategies!
