Democrats suffer from ‘big turnoff’ in talking down to voters: Joe Concha – Washington Examiner
in a recent commentary for the *Washington Examiner*,Joe Concha argues that the Democratic Party is facing meaningful challenges in appealing to voters,particularly in swing states. He suggests that the party’s tendency to “speak down” to constituents rather than communicate directly with them is a major barrier to regaining support. Concha recounts how Democrats reacted to a comedian’s joke about President Trump, emphasizing that media outlets often overlook fundamental issues like inflation and border management.
Additionally, he references comedian Tim Dillon’s critique that Democrats have not comprehended the reasons for their electoral losses, asserting that a sense of moral superiority among party members alienates potential voters. concha notes that all ten of the wealthiest congressional districts in the U.S. are represented by Democrats, which, in his view, highlights the party’s shift away from working-class interests toward those of the affluent.
He warns that if the party continues on its current trajectory, it will struggle in crucial states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan. Concha discusses these themes further in his forthcoming book,*The Greatest Comeback Ever: Inside Trump’s Big Beautiful Campaign*,scheduled for release on April 29. The broader analysis suggests that the Democratic Party’s messaging might potentially be pushing away traditional voters, risking their turnout in future elections.
Democrats suffer from ‘big turnoff’ in talking down to voters: Joe Concha
The Washington Examiner’s Joe Concha said the Democratic Party will continue struggling to win back voters if it keeps “speaking down” instead of talking to them directly, specifically in swing states.
Concha recalled when Democrats criticized a joke comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made at President Donald Trump‘s Madison Square Garden rally in October, noting how some outlets reported it as “the joke that turns the whole election for Kamala Harris.” Concha rebuffed the idea, arguing outlets ignored other factors, such as inflation or “open borders.”
Additionally, Concha pointed to comedian Tim Dillon’s argument that Democrats have failed to grasp why they lost the 2024 election, as the party has “the smug sense” of moral superiority among voters.
“And when you’re constantly speaking down to the very people that you want to vote for you, that’s a big turn off unless you’re doing an interview on MSNBC or CNN,” Concha said on Fox News’s Fox & Friends First. “But he’s right about it being the party of elites.”
Concha then noted that the 10 richest congressional districts in the United States are “all represented by Democrats,” showcasing how the party is no longer about the working class but about “the richest 1%.” He said the party will have a “big, big problem” winning over swing states such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and others as long as it follows this strategy.

Concha discusses Democrats’ loss in the 2024 election in his new book, The Greatest Comeback Ever: Inside Trump’s Big Beautiful Campaign, which will be released on April 29.
Amid the Democratic Party’s soul-searching following the 2024 election, the Washington Examiner‘s Salena Zito said the party’s messaging is contributing to its “subtraction.” She pointed out how some Democrats are sympathizing with alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, saying once-loyal Democratic voters could vote Republican on matters such as this. However, she said some people could choose not to vote at all, which would still be a loss for Democrats.
