The leadership the Democrats need

Leadership is not conveying or acting in a way that the followers want. It is influencing the followers to do what needs to be done, such as a military commander convincing his troops to take a hill.

The following is from a recent Washington Post Ipsos poll:
Is the Republican Party in touch with the concerns of the American people?
in touch 37%
not InTouch 61%

Is the Democrat Party in touch?
in touch 30%
not in touch 65%

The party that can connect with the rest of society and convince voters that they are going to make a positive difference in their lives, can become the dominant party. That is what needs to be done.

There is good leadership and bad leadership. What we have right now in no leadership. everyonematters Nov 11 #5

I agree but I also believe Dems need younger representation with new ideas. OLDMDDEM Nov 11 #2

Yeah but jaymac Nov 11 #4

Your points are well taken but we need leadership that can connect with younger voters. We lost that battle in 2024. OLDMDDEM Nov 11 #7

Democrat is a noun. Democratic is an adjective. Using the noun as an adjective shows maga-speak. usonian Nov 11 #3

So a good leader uses propaganda to manipulate people to do what the leader wants?

Wut

the old dems in control of DNC funds only want the candidates who look and sound and think like them. And if you are a newbie with many many open meetings with voters, the big mo working for him, the corporate dems in DC will do the opposite research and try to kneecap him if they want another old corporate dem.
