Democrat Party leaders gathered in Minneapolis this week for the DNC summer meetings, billed as a critical opportunity for the party to “turn the page” on a turbulent 13 months starting with former President Joe Biden’s early exit from the presidential race last July. But from literally the opening minutes of the event, it became clear that Democrats either have no real interest or are completely incapable of reforming the aspects of their party that have left them hopelessly out of touch with everyday Americans.
Just when it seemed Democrats might finally be realizing how exhausted most people are of their constant woke lecturing, the DNC chose to kick off the meetings with a land acknowledgment. Lindy Sowmick, a Minnesota Democrat and self-described “Indigenous queer woman,” stated that the land on which the meetings were taking place was “not claimed, or traded – it’s a part of a history of broken treaties and promises.”
From there, things only got worse for Democrats, as various party officials reaffirmed that they would not be moving off their extremely unpopular stances.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, for instance, bragged that his state had “sued Trump for gender-affirming care,” alluding to efforts to keep allowing doctors to prescribe puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transgender surgeries to minors. According to a Center Square poll last October, 59 percent of American adults oppose such practices.
In one of the more shameful moments of the meetings, DNC Chair Ken Martin withdrew his own resolution on the Israel-Gaza war amid backlash from the radical anti-Jewish wing of the party. The resolution was entirely symbolic and attempted to chart a middle course on the conflict, calling for more humanitarian aid to Gaza, an immediate ceasefire, release of hostages, and a two-state solution. But in a sign of how much power the antisemitic left has gained within the party – to the point where even a symbolic resolution stating Israel’s right to exist is unacceptable – Martin folded.
Yet another shockingly tone-deaf moment came when Insha Rahman, the vice president of the Vera Institute, a left-wing think tank, declared that “migrant crime, carjackings and other public safety threats ‘don’t matter to that many Americans.’”
As if that weren’t enough to alienate voters, as Fox News reported, “The DNC’s Resolutions Committee, meeting on Tuesday during the second day of the national party’s annual summer meeting, unanimously passed a resolution affirming what it highlighted as the ‘American Values’ of diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Even more outrageously, a DNC committee member later declared that DEI is the “very foundation of the Christian church” – to thunderous applause from those in attendance. (As the Christian Post notes, Democrats removed mentions of “God” and “Jerusalem” from their platform in 2012, and the audience booed when the chairman called for a vote to restore those words.)
Heading into this week, Democrats were already grasping for answers on a litany of crises facing the party, which is still licking its wounds from a stinging defeat last year at the hands of Donald Trump. Not only did Trump win back the presidency, he swept every swing state and totally embarrassed Kamala Harris, whose short-lived campaign managed to burn through $1.5 billion in just 15 weeks.
The DNC is still paying a significant chunk of those campaign expenses – $15 million in the first six months of 2025 alone. But those funds have been hard to come by as the party is strapped for cash and donors are sitting on their wallets. At the end of July, the DNC had just $15 million cash on hand, compared to $80 million for the RNC. The New York Times reported in June that the DNC may have to borrow money this year “just to keep paying the bills.”
Meanwhile, Democrats are also badly lagging Republicans in voter registrations, seen as a key metric of party strength and enthusiasm. As the Times again reported earlier this year, “Of the 30 states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground to Republicans in every single one between the 2020 and 2024 elections – and often by a lot.” In 2024, for the first time since 2018, more new voters registered Republican than Democrat.
Unsurprisingly, given both the dire fundraising and registration numbers, Democrats are also in the depths of a favorability crisis that is unlikely to change much following the absurd displays this week in Minneapolis. A Wall Street Journal survey late last month found that just 33 percent of voters hold a favorable view of the Democrat Party, compared to 63 percent who hold an unfavorable view – a 35-year low in the history of the poll.
The Democrats came to Minneapolis hoping for a reset, but instead they put their dysfunction on full display. From land acknowledgments to DEI sermons and surrendering to the party’s antisemitic fringe, the entire spectacle only reminded voters why Democrats are broke, divided, and bleeding support in every corner of the country.
If this week was supposed to be a turning point, it was only in the sense that the car swerved even further off the road.

THAT’S GREAT NEWS AND NOT SURPRISING AT ALL.
For completely brain-dead Democrats, when the going gets tough the DUMB GET DUMBER.
LOVE IT. Everyone of these radical, left-wing progressive socialist-Commie, America-hating idiots are well beyond CLUELESS.
But a plea to MAGAs, DON’T GET COMPLACENT. COME OUT IN ENDLESS DROVES IN 2026. WE MUST NOT ONLY KEEP BOTH HOUSES IN CONGRESS, BUT GAIN A HUGE MAJORITY IN BOTH.
It’s amazing (but not surprising) that the Communists double down on their Enviro-Nazi/All abortions all the time/nut job gender mutilation/Pro-Criminal & Pro Illegal Alien agenda. However, this is what they want: to simply destroy anyone or anything that does not agree with their insanity. They want to kill Christians and Jews, harm children and destroy the family, then destroy our Republic. They must NEVER be allowed to hold power at any level ever again.
The libtards have either chosen to remain out of touch with reality, or they’re REALLY STUPID. I think it’s both.
The ship is sinking quickly; the reasonable people have abandoned the ship while idiots keep trying to plug the hole with cotton balls. The comedy show continues.
Notice how silent the left is on the “gender” of the shooter/terrorist in the massacre of Catholic children this week?
Minnesota seems to have taken over the title of “Craziest State” from California! Tampon Tim has been suffering from PMS for the last few weeks; we get this Indian wanting whites to “give back” her land [why don’t DIMMS go first?]; and Ellison [who beat his girlfriend in the past] wants to promote the castration of young children!
Hopefully voters will never trust democraps again, for anything.
This unAmerican party should cease to exist.
I would call it a gathering of all in need of mental and intellect evaluation. They demonstrated they do not comprehend the reality. There is not an employer except government who would hire any of them, not even one , incapable and dangerous., mentally handicapped, they blend in with the rest of the swamp, taxpayer I hope woke up.
A number of theaters in NJ and NY feel the need to either announce or put in their bulletins that the theater is sitting on land once owned by the (pick a tribe) native Americans and appropriated without just compensation. I have often wondered, if that is such a burden for the theater owners to bear, why not just hand the theater and land that it sits on back to native Americans. I don’t see that happening. It is easy to express those types of sentiments when you know they are just words. Similarly, I would like to see some of these “two-state solution” advocates explain how two states, one controlled by people who believe the all people in the other state should die, can actually work.
They not only swerved off the road they landed in an abyss from which they won’t be able to crawl out of anytime soon.
The democrats are evil. Crime isn’t that bad in their eyes. Of course not they want lawlessness. That way they control the masses. 13,000 incidents of fights on planes since 2022. Excuse me? Thousands of little children have been mutilated and sterilized for life all in the name of trans and at the same time the children have been made property of the state. Parents are just birthing persons. After all men can have babies. Menstruating persons can be male and female. Just ask Tampon Timmy. He ordered tampons in all boys bathrooms.
Prayer is frowned upon. The majority of Americans believe in the power of prayer. Who is the woke democrat communist minority to say prayers are a scam. Another democrat lie exposed. They don’t care about the people especially if they aren’t woke like them. They are supposed to be for the people. Only for the people walking into this country illegally. The children who can be manipulated to sterilize them to curb the population in the future. All the rest should be eliminated. This meeting was nothing more to rile up the woke to stay the course. Their agenda is to destroy America and every day their true agenda is coming out more and more. Let them stay the course.it bodes well for our country and president Trump, the MAGA movement and republicans. Get out the vote this November and next year. And keep up the fight that president Trump has started. They failed in their attempt to assimilate him. That was a sign.
Pied Pipers of the Democratic Party have no problem going over the Clift to the Pits of Hellfire, taking with them their deranged Leftist Followers who have chosen a lie over the TRUTH; having given up their personal power and faith due to false pride. We Christians are witnessing: Tragedy-in-the-making!
The dnc is a bunch of out of touch sick puppies who have never had a real job, done a day of “real” work or accomplished anything of substance in their life. The reason you are a bunch of losers is precisely because of idiocy like this.
Good! Enjoyed this article!
Yep! One can clearly hear the Dem’s theme song “Here Come the Clowns” playing in the background in their meeting hall.
They lost all credibility with me (which was pretty small to begin with) when they kept on, and still keep on relentlessly talking about “our democracy.” They remind me of toddlers who keep pounding away at mom for a piece of candy or that toy they saw at Target…they keep on and on because they truly believe if you keep on saying it enough, everyone will just give in. We are NOT a democracy, we never WERE a democracy and we will not be a democracy. We ARE a constitutional REPUBLIC. We do not want to be communists, fascists, socialists, or any other ‘ists’ no matter how much they hammer away at their pipe dreams…
generational re-education needed to defeat “elitism” communist indoctrination
To vote Democrat, one must be evil, brain dead, or completely deluded.
The Democrat area very frightening group of insane people. God help us if they ever regain power and control.
All done for Comedy
Certainly not the democrat party of my parents, and looking back at some of the decisions that were made then, these current democrats are just lost, and have no common sense responses to the needs of the people who vote for them.
can anyone remember Harry S Truman, not perfect, but he sure stopped the Japanese. I’m glad we still speak English. The dims of today just want anything that will allow them to win an election, But they can’t even do that right, IMO
We can only hope the socialist/democrats will continue down this road and completely destroy their evil empire. They don’t deserve to be representatives in our nation.
I agree with Joe (last comment).
One of my sisters is a democrat. I see her as having been lied to and deceived by the party she trusts. My sister is not evil, or malicious, but she does get angry if Trump is mentioned, and spouts the democrat lies. She absolutely cannot see the violence and division that the democrat’s current policies create. My approach is to ask her why she feels that way, listen, and offer her reality and truth.
i said for a while that the party eventually will split but looking at it now i dont think there is anything to split .
The party pretty much has become a block of marxists , socialists and anarchists and the few moderates that may be left are by far not enough to even affect the party if they left
I want to believe that Republicans are gaining a lead over Democrats, but I still think we need to see what happens in the midterms next year.
There are a lot of stupid people out there. 75 million knuckle-dragging morons still voted for Kamala Harris. And they voted for her when the degenerated nature of the Democrat Party was already clear.
Stolen land.
It was.
The commanche stole from the apache who stole from the Dakota.
They are a people beaten in a war by a superior race. That’s why losers.lose and winners get to name.things.
We are the ONLY nation on earth other than Isreal that has given land to those defeated.
Be respectful to your betters or we may take away the casinos.
The precious natives? Please. They could barely eat until we showed them how to turn a desert into farmland.
Because no native has ever invented a life saving drug, a car, a rocket or even a candy bar.
So please repsrct your betters.
I am sick and tired of the losers telling the winners how to live.
Sit down. Shut up. Let the betters run things.
I listen to Obama. Ellison, bass, Johnson, and almodt all black liberals and it’s so hard to understand how their ancestors in Africa sold each other into slavery. I mean they are all so…special.
That which they sow also shall they reap! Then we will watch them weep!
For democrats that really want to pursue an America First agenda, it must have been very frustrating to attend this event. To never have the opportunity to build consensus, discuss the top 3-5 issues that are important to democratic voters, to never know if that dude sitting next to you in Minnesota is actually a dude?
The party of hate the Comucrates dont have anything to offer an average American family a man a woman of any age., race or o They continue to pander to those on the fringes the small % of people that are permanently unhappy , that are just miserable people lost in the wilderness and that want to make everyone else as miserable as they are. They pander to the alphabet soup of made up genders or mentally confused, brainwashed or insane. They continue to complain about stolen land or other made up issues yet offer no solutions or new ideas. Their leaders aren’t leaders but more like criminal gang bosses. Many of them are criminals scared to death about when the FBI will be knocking on their door at zero dark thirty. Those that scream load and long that the fortunes they amassed while serving as “Public Servants” that cant be explained how they turned a 170,000 annual salary into hundreds of millions of dollars and scream “Its non of anyone’s business” how they amassed such wealth. Then there are those that have never done anything in their lives other than working in the government Never had a real job, never had to run a business or meet a payroll but want to tell successful American businessmen and women how to run their companies or what price to charge for the products or services they provide. The Democrat’s (Comucrats) live in Bizarro world where right is wrong and wrong is right. They are mostly deviants perverted or mentally ill, some are outright insane and most are serial liars. And they all think they are right, that their evil plans schemes plots and conspiracies are the only way. They can not fathom the fact that the majority of American People have figured them out and what no part of their sick twisted evil ways. We have been blessed by God to have a leader that has managed to expose them and shine bright light on their evil stupidity .Now that they have and continue to be exposed they a reacting violently , mobilizing as many malcontents, fool, insane, evil mobs as they can to try to destroy the good that exists and stop the good that remains to be done. These evil Comucrats are driven by their master the dark one that promises them wealth and fame on earth in exchange for their souls and they must do his bidding. Nothing else explains their evil and desire for evil twisted way of life.
We must continue to support our proven and upcoming leaders that are fighting to push the evil doers out.. We must do our part and get engaged and vote, we must try to save those that can be saved and show them the light. We must also be prepared for whatever evil they may throw at us to destroy our country and way of life. And believe me , they will stop at nothing to destroy our leaders our families and friends. They will use temptation as never before because they have no choice , they must follow the evil ones commands and the Beast is their master and they are slaves unto his evil commands.
Cadaver in Thief Joe Bye Done and Kakala Hilarious along with the Democraps are all wasting away again in MAGAritaville…thanks to the former Commander in Beef and MacDonalds employee 45 and now 47 DJT!
Republicans keep saying the Democrats are in deep doo doo and will soon go away . . . . . . but they are still here and not going anywhere.
Looks like nothing’s going on any different with the Democrats They’ve been listening to their echo chamber for years. Between the media and the radicals they have no hope of pulling out of this till they completely run out of money and the Union shall be more than happy to let that happen Hope you don’t have a pension plan and a union
Shambles???
If the dems operated a wh.or house their women would all have hiv and their men would be floor sweepers beginning to be accepted.
These are now twisted weak anti.americans. they detest us normies and this started with male s ex fantasizing obama to demented pro Russian pro plo pro anybody who detests us Biden to a woman who without dei and the moh rons of coastal Cali would be at best a kindergarten teacher.
But hey they have bald black chicks who hat3 America even more on mz now…how pathetic dems have become!+
Ken Martin Chairman of the DNC has revealed a new strategy that reflects the desperation of lunatic fringe of the former party of FDR, Harry Truman, and JFK.
He said that Democrats can no longer afford to play by the rules anymore. Now they are forced to cheat to win by any means necessary.
Think about that for a minute. This is a NEW strategy???
“In” shambles? I can’t get past the headline. All the words are in English, but they don’t mean anything.
Land acknowledgement? Give it back or shut up. Performance art.
It’s not enough that the base of the Dems has been seized by the extreme left for Republicans to win in 2026. Voters want a reason to vote for a candidate beyond voting against his or her opponent. If Republicans keep the House and Senate, especially if they increase their advantage, what will they do in the next two years? The message that motivates the Republican base, support for whatever the President wants, is not enough. The voters in the middle want a strong economy, strong borders, strong defense, and support for our international allies. The party has to ignore the small minority of white nationalists and ultra-isolationists whose message will sink the larger party. The Democrats ignored reality in their 2024 losses. Republicans have to look at reality straight on in order win the next go around.
Democrats had a turning point..turning ever more Leftist and insufferable to the voters and by doing so, boosted Republican supremacy even further.
If democrats don’t change course, they do deserve to go down in flames.
Beside of being out of touch with voters democrats have a big credibility problem !
how do they expect for people to believe that they can fix homelessnes , cost of housing , energy cost and other things if the states they dominate are the worst ?
This is why gavin newsom never will be president , all vance has to do is point at CA and then ask the question whether people want the rest of the US to be like CA
Well when your high water mark was that inspid uselss anti american ray cyst named obama, you can only go down.
Which is what he does to Reggie love, but anyway…
