The New York Times had a hilarious report about the effort Democrats were making to figure out why they were losing with the working class and men, particularly young men.
That effort included meeting at luxury hotels, eating fine food, and spending $20 million on a study to discover why they were losing ground with young men. Those very actions are part of the reason.

Try listening. Don't demonize men and don't do things to hurt their economic opportunities. There. I solved it for them. Give me the $20 million, now. You don't have to study the syntax of men or whatever else they were contemplating. That's putting people in boxes, which is something the Democrats keep doing. All you have to do is be supportive of good policies that help people. It's not hard.
As our sister site Twitchy reported, CNN's John Berman asked Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz about the New York Times report, specifically what she thought about the focus group of 250 voters who were asked to describe the two parties with animal terms. They termed the Republicans as "apex predators" such as lions, tigers, and sharks. Meanwhile, Democrats were viewed as tortoises, slugs, or sloths, "slow, plodding and passive," as well as like "deer in headlights."
🚨SUPER AWKWARD: CNN host presses Democrat Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to respond to voters thoughts that the Democrat party is like a "deer in headlights" — She LASHES OUT instead of taking voters' concerns seriously.

Now, that's priceless, and a perfect assessment of Democrats right now. They're turning around in circles trying to figure it out, but they can't.
Wasserman Schultz was immediately angry and dismissive, saying she wasn't "focused" on what animals a NYT reporter compares voters to, she was "focused on the humans she represents." She launched into the talking points, claiming Republicans were going to be cutting Medicaid. First, as House Speaker Mike Johnson explained, the only "cuts" are to fraud and abuse, such as illegal aliens who aren't supposed to be getting Medicaid. That helps to save the program for people who are supposed to receive it.
But then Berman had to correct her that this wasn't the reporter's assessment, it was the voters assessing the parties this way, and it was a "Democratic-led focus group." Wasserman Schultz wasn't listening enough to get that. She was dismissing what the voters were thinking, which is why Democrats are in the trouble they are in.
Right back to the talking point, she spoke about Republicans "transferring wealth to billionaires." She said Democrats had to make sure that they did what Democrats did under Joe Biden, that they cut taxes on the middle class, who would put that "windfall" back into the economy. Wait, what? What windfall is she talking about? Biden made everything more expensive, driving inflation up over nine percent. And every Democrat just voted against continuing the tax cuts that helped most Americans by voting against the "Big, Beautiful Bill." If they wanted what Joe Biden and the Democrats did for them, they would have reelected them. Instead, they wanted President Donald Trump and the Republicans to bring real change.
It's funny watching them stumble around in complete confusion and hopefully, that confusion continues right into 2026.
Editor's Note: Donald Trump and his team have been fighting against the left’s extreme agenda.
