Victor Davis Hanson: The Democrats Are Addicted to Losing

What is the Democrat Party’s long-term strategy? They ran Joe Biden as their presidential candidate, then installed Kamala Harris as his replacement despite not winning even one delegate, and has since relied on radical party bosses and unpopular policies to combat Trump’s win.

On this week’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the party’s post-2024 election autopsy and explains why they’re doomed to fail if they continue on their trajectory.

“ After the defeat of Kamala Harris in November 2024, the Democrats decided recently to run an autopsy, a discovery, so to speak, of why they lost that election. These autopsies are not uncommon for the losing political party, but they only tend to work if you're honest and you try to analyze every considerable factor or criterion without censorship or without fear.

“ They didn't have issues and policies that reflected their core values, but would also appeal to the middle class. … They don't want to talk about the middle class because their policies—open borders, The Green New Deal, Critical Race Theory, Critical Legal Theory, defund the police—all that have to be rejected because they're anathema to the middle class. They won't do it.”
