The Democrats' Project 2029 takes up the unique strategy of getting the very people who drove their party into the disastrous rut it is now stuck in to come up with the ideas that will get it out.
They are more conservative in the following points:
traditional family is important
religion is important
hard work needs to be rewarded
most rich people are there by merit
criminals deserve punishment
Elite leftists love to harp on the bigotry of white evangelicals, but completely ignore the religious and anti LGBT beliefs of Hispanics and African-Americans for example.
So conservatives manage to appeal to the working class with culture war rhetoric and morality. Even though their economic and other policies are worse for them.
Democrats don’t have a great track record either. Cities that have been ruled by Democrats for decades have lots of homelessness, crime, high cost of living, unaffordable rents, and so on. Democratic policies have failed to end the misery that is black urban areas for decades for example.
On the other hand the democrats are also losing the growing number of overeducated underachieving folks, who increasingly look further to the left. They often claim to follow intersectional politics for everyone preaching according to the most virtuous trends, but then fail to build coalitions to actually change things. The only thing these knowledge worker elites managed, is to get hired as consultants, PR, and HR people. So yeah, there are bluehaired trans folks present in every media now. That doesn’t improve material conditions for the working class one bit. These serving virtue politics (aka wokeism) only helps a fraction of people, mostly the small class of overeducated knowledge capitalists.
