Democrats have finally figured out what the rest of us have known for years: they have a massive problem with working-class voters. The party of “equity” and “progress” is bleeding support from blue-collar Americans, and instead of taking a long, hard look in the mirror, they held a retreat—because, naturally, nothing screams “in touch with the working class” like gathering in a fancy venue with political consultants to strategize about how to pretend to care about everyday Americans.
According to documents obtained by Politico and Fox News, the Comeback Retreat (yes, they actually called it that) was designed to help Democrats understand why working-class voters no longer trust them. Spoiler alert: It’s because they’ve abandoned them in favor of identity politics, elitist snobbery, and woke nonsense. But hey, at least they’re admitting they have a problem—even if their “solutions” sound about as sincere as a used car salesman’s pitch.
The Brilliant Takeaways
Among the recommendations from the retreat, some highlights include:
- Stop alienating working-class voters with identity politics. You don’t say! Maybe if Democrats hadn’t spent years dividing Americans into endless subgroups and lecturing them about privilege, they wouldn’t need a retreat to realize that people hate this stuff.
- Tone down the “faculty lounge” rhetoric. Democrats are seen as out-of-touch elitists who sneer at people without Ivy League degrees? Shocking!
- Stop being afraid to disagree with the far-left. This one’s hilarious because we all know they are afraid of their own activist base. The second a Democrat dares to push back on woke insanity, they get canceled faster than you can say “Latinx.”
- Quit defending elitist institutions. News flash: Americans don’t trust the media, academia, or the bloated government bureaucracy. But Democrats have spent years propping them up while demonizing institutions that working-class people do care about, like churches, police, and small businesses.
- Cut the politically correct nonsense. If you have to hold a retreat to figure out that normal Americans don’t use phrases like “pregnant people” or “Latinx,” you are already too far gone.
The Real Problem: Their Base Won’t Let Them Change
Let’s be real—Democrats are not going to put any of this into practice. Why? Because their own activist base loves the very things that alienate working-class voters. The radical left won’t let them abandon identity politics, and the party is too afraid of Twitter mobs to course-correct.
Even if they try to shift gears, why should anyone trust them? This isn’t about genuine change—it’s about tricking voters into coming back. And working-class Americans aren’t stupid. They know a phony sales pitch when they hear one.
