Some Democratic strategists are so desperate for the party to start performing better, that they\u2019re hoping for the economy to tank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A report from The Hill<\/a> on Tuesday quoted several Democratic strategists reflecting on what they see as the dismal state of the Democratic Party. One said the party should be “praying” for a depression as a lifeline for their declining popularity following President Donald Trump\u2019s 2024 election victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n “This is a nightmare scenario for the Dems right now,” an anonymous strategist told the outlet. “We better pray long and hard that the country is going to be in a f\u2011\u2011\u2011— depression, because I don\u2019t know how else we find ourselves out of this mess.”<\/p>\n MAHER CALLS OUT SNL FOR ‘ZOMBIE LIE’ THAT REPUBLICANS ARE RACIST, WARNS THEY ARE ‘NOT HELPING’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The Hill report prefaced that sobering impression of the Democratic Party by noting its current low approval numbers.<\/p>\n “Not only do polls show the Democrats\u2019 approval ratings at historic lows, but they\u2019re still scrambling to identify a national leader almost half a year after Trump\u2019s return to the White House \u2014 dynamics that are raising alarm bells in certain corners of the party,” the outlet stated.<\/p>\n The Hill also cited one recent poll<\/a> conducted by Democratic super PAC Unite the Country between May and June. The survey found that the Democratic Party has lost ground since losing to Trump in November. Many of those polled said they found the Democratic Party “out of touch,” “weak,” and “woke.”<\/p>\n Strategist and senior adviser to Unite the Country, Rodell Mollineau, told The Hill that “it\u2019s going to be hard” for the party to move forward.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s hard to message when you\u2019re in the wilderness, which is what we are right now,” he said. “When voters don\u2019t think that you care about their issues, and they don\u2019t think that you\u2019re going to fight for them, that becomes a problem.”\u00a0<\/p>\n Brad Bannon, another strategist, told The Hill, “Sadly, Democrats are still stuck in the same mud that they were in six months ago. We are still as unpopular as we were when Trump was inaugurated in January.”<\/p>\n He did, however, express hope that the passage of Trump\u2019s “big, beautiful bill” would give his party an opening to mount a counterattack against their Republican opponents.<\/p>\n MARK CUBAN SAYS LIBERAL ALTERNATIVE TO X HAS BECOME ‘HATEFUL’ DUE TO LEFTIST GROUPTHINK<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “Because of MAGA missteps, Democrats now finally have tools to use to build a new foundation,” Bannon said. “The secret sauce for the opposition is to use the Medicaid cuts, immigration deportations and high tariff taxes to blister Trump for his failure to keep his campaign promise to bring down high prices on the first day of the second administration.”<\/p>\n Other prominent voices in the party have grown exasperated with Democratic leaders in the months since Trump\u2019s election.\u00a0<\/p>\n Billionaire business mogul Mark Cuban slammed Democrats<\/a> for their post-election strategy on the “Pod Save America” podcast Sunday.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s just \u2018Trump sucks.’ That\u2019s the underlying thought of everything the Democrats do. \u2018Trump sucks.\u2019 Trump says the sky is blue. \u2018Trump sucks.\u2019 That\u2019s not the way to win! It\u2019s just not! Because it\u2019s not about Trump \u2014 it\u2019s about the people of the United States of America \u2014 and what\u2019s good for them! And how do you get them to a place where they\u2019re in a better position, and it\u2019s less stressful for them.”<\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
