56. What did Democrats learn?
Wed May 14, 2025, 02:50 PM
May 14

I think Democrats need an after action review. I would like the DNC to meet with representatives from each State’s Democratic Party.

Let’s review:

Party platform.

Money for State candidates but also boots on the ground support for candidates.

What’s the DNC’s plan for growing future leaders? Do they train young candidates or what?

How do Democrats fight rejected ballots, folks kicked off voter rolls with little to no notice, and mail in ballot security? This is a huge issue for me, personally.

Did those Postcards make a difference?

Does your County Party hold regular meetings or luncheons? The Republican Party in Texas holds meetings and ladies luncheons in most counties in this State. Uhhh not so much our party in Texas.

How can we clarify our messaging? Is the DNC asking voters why they voted for Trump?

Let’s ask the hard questions and move forward.
