The Democratic Party brand is in the “bathroom,” according to a party strategist on Monday.
The New York Times organized a “written online discussion” hosted by Times thought writer Frank Bruni along with progressive campaign consultant Lis Smith, Democratic communications strategist; Rt. and Tim Ryan, former Ohio representative. to discuss the remains of the party after the brutal loss in November.
“The Democrat brand is in the bathroom,” Smith said. “Many of the Democrats who have been successful in this cycle, such as our top-performing players in House elections, It’s a group of people who oppose the Democrat brand. Trump tears down blue wall in industrial Midwest But he also expanded his vote. The most in our bluest and most urban areas.”

“’Bathroom’? Lis, this is serious. Do you think it’s that bad?” Bruni asked.

“When the best way to win as a candidate is to run against your own party. It’s that bad. Our voters are good candidates. What does the letter D next to their name mean? It’s a[status quo]that people don’t like,” Smith said.
Ryan explains that Democrats Shenker-Osorio has been “pegged as the status quo party” and has “failed to redefine itself on cultural issues.” It will be more critical.
“Well…bathrooms have clear utility. So maybe the comparison is even ‘generous’,” Shenker-Osorio said.
They also agree that the biggest problem is that Democrats have failed to dispel the image of “elitism” over working-class voters
“The sign outside headquarters should now say, “Caution: Enter the echo chamber,” Ryan said. “I said I’m moving to Townstown. But it might be Pittsburgh. Or Cleveland or Toledo or Detroit or Milwaukee. But I am very serious about not being in Washington or anywhere on the coast. We need to send a clear signal that we are committed to reconnecting with people in the real world.”

Bruni asks whether Democrats need to stop. Whether or not they’d like to “shout out to Hollywood stars and put them on stage,” Ryan agrees. However, Smith says deeper reflection is needed.
“We have to look at who is successful and doing better than this cycle. and why,” she said. “Some of the outperformers in the House race couldn’t have a more different profile…What they have in common is that they’re willing to anti party brand They met with voters who said they were frustrated with the border and the public. Security issues And they talk more about their future vision than Donald. How bad will Trump be?”
