A Canadian Perspective: The Democrats Are Planning To Lose Again in 2028

[xocetaceans]

As it turns out, the Democratic leadership's current, inspirational slogan "Bridge the Floor to Adopt the Ceiling!" (or whatever it actually is . . . ) is transparently horrendously bad, and that fact is easily seen by our 'erstwhile' allies, who perhaps possess keener insight into our chances in the next election cycles given our current leadership than that current leadership seems to possess. Ironically, the slogan is almost as strong as the large zero circling the capital D that is the party symbol. Talk about foreshadowing zero political power. Perhaps, it is lucky that the current slogan was not chosen to be "No floor, hard ceiling!".

One other concern that the video brings up is the detrimental effect of wild gesturing while speaking in public and how that might influence an election (think of the Dean scream as a similar case). The example that the video's author uses is a video of Gavin Newsom speaking and how his wild gesturing could easily be used against him in a campaign. (If that sounds ridiculous, watch him speak with no sound and imagine the possibilities of weaponizing that to sway the independents. Keep in mind how many believed and voted for the "clown" Trump.)

Hopefully, this video's author's prediction will not happen, but actually winning in the next election cycles will require some more reflection at the level of the Democratic leadership and some thoughtful work by them, not merely the maintenance of the status quo.
