The Democratic PartyAs summer meetings just began, and former strategist Dan Turrentine said that he has already had enough.

Turrentine made an appearance on MondayAs broadcast of oThe Ingraham Angleo
on Fox News, where he argued that his party was continuing to do the things they had always done u things that he argued were making them weaker as a party rather than stronger.

oItAs the definition of insanity: you just keep doing the same thing over and over again. And as a Democrat, itAs maddening that weAre still not serious,o Turrentine said, going on to address the number of Democrat voters who have fled the party. oYou said it: we havenAt lost 4.5 million voters, nor is our brand at a historic low, because we donAt fight hard enough. ItAs because we remain completely culturally disconnected and we have absolutely no agenda.o

oYou said earlier in your monologue: [President Donald] TrumpAs trying to solve problems,o Turrentine continued. oWe always offer the three PAs: the personal attacks, which you just heard: aHeAs a dictator and authoritative.A We argue process: aOh, he shouldnAt do this, heAs violating customs and norms.A Or itAs the press: aItAs their job to do it.A And then on the
cultural issues u we literally have think tanks putting memos out that athese are the words youAre not supposed to say.A You add it all up and we are not
in good shape.o

True to TurrentineAs assessment, Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin opened the meeting u following the Pledge of Allegiance u by introducing someone to give a oland acknowledgemento for the location of the meeting.

oNow please welcome a friend of mine from the Minnesota DFL, the treasurer, her name is Lindy Sowmick, who is from the Saginaw Ojibwe Nation and sheAs going to deliver our land acknowledgment today,o Martin said.

Martin also raged against Trump and his oauthoritariano tendencies during the meeting, promising, oDemocrats, make no mistake, a storm is coming. In fact, itAs already here. Rising inequality, attacks on democracy, voter
suppression, and a fascist regime that doesnAt play by the rules.o

Failed vice presidential candidate and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) joined Martin in that effort, trashing Republican voters, as well as the president. oThink of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. Oh, what should I wear
today? This stupid, frickinA red hat. What should I say today? I donAt know, just make sure itAs cruel. Who do we listen to? [President Donald Trump]. Oh, the felon in the White House? Yeah, listen to him and that will be fine. Now heAs talking about burning flags, heAs gonna have flag burning or whatever. Because he knows thereAs a hell of a lot of flag with his picture on it that are gonna get burned.o
