Democrats need to define what they stand for rather than just opposing Republicans to be effective.

“Democrats, I think they really need to start adding an end to where they've been ending their sentences. Just saying what Trump and Republicans are doing is horrible. It doesn't make a difference if, at the end of that sentence, you don't go, and this is what I'm going to do about it”

Stephen A. Smith argues that the Democratic Party has been hindered by extreme progressive views, specifically regarding woke culture and cancel culture, which alienated voters.

“I'm just opposed to the extreme left. I think it cost them the election against Donald Trump. I don't him as winning. I view them as losing.”

Cenk Uygur argues that the Democratic Party's main issue is elitism and serving the donor class rather than the progressive or woke agenda.

“Their problem is that they were elitist, served the donor class or establishment figures. Hillary Clinton, same exact thing. Hillary wasn't woke at all. She was just establishment 101. Those are two different problems.”
