I’m not a big fan of pollster Frank Luntz but he’s totally right about everything wrong with the Democrat Party right now. He’s been pleading with Dems face to face since November to wake up to reality, but they simply refuse to listen to him. Luntz is giving it another go but his message is guaranteed to fall on plugged ears.
Luntz's first observation is how Democrats are into absurd theater. There are fake town halls and immature antics in Congress. He references a recent event in Florida where Dems posed questions to a cardboard printout of a GOP representative. I find this stuff utterly ridiculous. I’m sure most sane voters do as well. (READ)
I have never seen the national Democratic Party in such chaos and confusion.

Whether it's childish stunts on the floor of Congress or performance art with their fake town halls, there is nothing authentic or compelling about their message, their tactics, or their delivery. https://t.co/M24fNl0V2b
Why do they all look the same white and overweight, color hair and masked

"Constituents". Is that what their paystubs form ActBlue calls them?

I recently covered how the fake ‘town halls’ with Tim Walz are just ActBlue fundraisers.
Luntz says Democrats need to acknowledge what voters see and want to be fixed. Dems famously ignored voters who were being crushed by inflation during President Joe Biden’s term - telling them the economy was great and pulling out silly charts. Luntz says Dems have to start listening and offering solutions.
Example: The public is fed up with government waste.

Accept it. Acknowledge it. Embrace it… Then tell people how you can "prevent" that waste "more effectively" than the other guys.
Those are words that work.
But telling people that waste doesn't exist will get you nowhere. https://t.co/x68rqR8ZXi

Luntz says Democrats have to put voters above their benefit and drama. Good luck with that!
Similarly, saying you're against the "toxic and partisan political environment" while also engaging in it is sure to fail.
For voters looking for "simple solutions and real results," it seems like you are instead looking to score points for your own benefit.
That's what voters want to hear… But they're not hearing it from you.

Luntz says Dems need a new strategy. I think they need way more than that. But, it’s safe to say doing the exact same stuff they did last year is not going to start working now.
You lost in 2024 by utilizing a really bad strategy. It's 2025, and you are still using that same strategy.

As the legendary Paul McCartney once advised: "Only a fool plays it cool by making his world a little colder."
For Democrats, welcome to the Arctic Circle. https://t.co/Z86F9fIBao
That 29% approval poll should be sending chills throughout the Democrat Party. But, it’s not. They refuse to change course or abandon bad ideas. I watch them every day repeating the same failed message: Elon is a Nazi, Trump is a fascist, we’re saving our democracy. All lies and ineffective after saying it all a million times. They won't stop. Luntz is right, but the Dems simply refuse to listen.
