Can Dems Ever Win Again? Charting a Realistic Path to Political Relevancy
In this engaging discussion, Simone and Malcolm tackle the pressing issue of how the Democrats can reverse their electoral fortunes. Despite losing support across various demographics, they delve into potential strategies and changes the Democratic party can implement. The conversation covers topics such as the extremist influence within both major parties, the impact of Donald Trump's policies, and the shifts in voter demographics. They also discuss the necessity for the left to distance itself from 'woke' extremism to regain broader appeal. The episode ends with a hopeful note on rebuilding the Democratic party after significant defeats.
Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello, Simone! Today, we are going to come up with a hypothesis for how the Democrats can win the next election cycle, how they can fix the downward spiral, because they are losing in every demographic. They are losing in women. They are losing in black men and women. They are losing in Every younger generation, both men and women, is voting more conservatively every generation at this point.
It is bad for Dems. They are losing hard in the Hispanic population. Kamala did worse than Biden in literally every state. And I think one of the key things is, is that both parties have an extremist problem.
On the right, there were some people, or extremists is the wrong way to put it. Some people who embody the negative stereotype that the other party paints that party as having. So in the right, we paint the left as being these crazy wokers and on the left they paint us as being crazy racist. Yeah. As we pointed out in the last video, the crazy racists all left the right, denounce Trump and want nothing to do with him and say [00:01:00] they feel uncomfortable at right wing rallies now.
Yay for us, we sucked out the venom, spit it in a toilet.

Mainstream right-wing voice denounced Trump and asked their followers not to vote for him leading up to the election. And for people who think that this is a femoral or just something that's happening among the. Influencer class here. We actually see this in the data. If you look between the first time Trump was elected and this time Trump was elected, he did worse among white men. Where he exploded in support. Whitten contrasting between these election cycles. Is. Blacks and Hispanics. Specifically Hispanic men. And it is because we, as a country have reached a place where Hispanic men who actually care more about the immigration crisis, then white men [00:02:00] do,
I've come to realize that the Republican party is not racist, but that's something that was only possible because the Republican party. Expelled its racist element. So we can talk about things like the immigration crisis outside of a racialist lens.
Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-1: And if you look at the counties where the difference in voting was the most, this election cycle.
They are the counties that were overwhelmingly Hispanic. The dims thought this demographics is destiny thing. We can just increase the number of minorities in this country and we'll win forever. And they, they thought that this plan would work for them. In the meantime, Trump has been building his support within the very communities the Democrats thought they had on lock.
Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-2: With things like the Hispanic community moving in a direction where they might become a majority Republican voting block in the near future. This is an existential crisis for Democrats.
Which have largely just become a party of college brainwashed elites.
Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-3: This is something that was only possible because Trump took the.
