Third Way has some advice for Democrats if the party wants to win the midterm elections: stop being yourselves. The center-left political think tank warns the Democrat Party to drop its ‘abolish ICE’ rhetoric since it’s seen as extremist.

Democrats “quick we need to stop saying the insane s**t we’re running on out loud”
— GeroDoc (@doc_gero) January 14, 2026
But they won’t. They can’t.

The good news?

They can’t help themselves.
Keep the pressure on, and they will say the quiet part out loud every time.
Operation Let Them Speak, continues..
Democrats have shown they can’t keep their mouths shut on issues they’re passionate about, especially ones that are a huge turnoff to the majority of the public.
One poster says illegal immigration may be the only issue Democrats can run on if Trump’s sunny predictions about the economy come to pass.
If the economy keeps going the current direction and if Trump keeps racking up foreign policy wins......Then I am not sure what the Dems run on other than immigration policy.
Beyond, of course, the usual "Trump is Hitler" rhetoric that sadly will fuel several close midterm elections that shouldn't be close.

Trump has been "Hitler" for a decade. American Voters chose Hitler over a Democrat.

Rockin’ economy will negate everything else they have where it matters

The 'Drumpf is Hitler' crowd is immovable
Those who equate Trump with Hitler will be opposed to him even if his policies make gas and groceries cheaper.
Another poster says Democrats can’t drop their support for transgenderism either. The question of males in female sports is before the Supreme Court. (WATCH)
"This is an 80/20 issue, a 90/10 issue, public opinion is on our side and it really is remarkable to watch an entire political party hang their hat on something that #1 doesn't make any sense, #2 is bad for women and #3 is irrational."

Yep. They can’t abandon these issues, their base would explode.
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) January 13, 2026
It seems to be a loud minority that they're pandering to.
— Ellie A (@EllieGAnders) January 13, 2026
Pandering is what Democrats excel at.
Democrats aren’t going to change who they are, so the big question is, can they temporarily stop blurting out their unpopular stances?
NBC admits it: Democrats don’t want to stop the radical agenda—they just want to stop saying it out loud before voters notice. “Abolish ICE” was their rally cry… until reality hit the polls.

This is just "defund the police 2.0"
— ThēPrìcklyThìstle (@TheeThistle) January 13, 2026
Exactly what it is.

Fake News trying to warn Democrats to lie more
— Cash Loren (@Cashloren) January 13, 2026
‘Defund the police’ didn’t go over well. Democrats always find themselves on the side of criminals, and ‘abolish ICE’ is just the latest iteration of that. Don’t be surprised if more Democrats start deceptively pushing a desire to ‘reform ICE’ instead of ‘abolish ICE’ as the midterms approach.
