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

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

�It�s the definition of insanity: you just keep doing the same thing
over and over again. And as a Democrat, it�s maddening that we�re
still not serious.�

�It�s the definition of insanity: you just keep doing the same thing over and over again. And as a Democrat, it�s maddening that we�re still not serious,� Turrentine said, going on to address the number of Democrat voters who have fled the party. �You said it: we haven�t lost 4.5 million voters, nor is our brand at a historic low, because we don�t fight hard enough. It�s because we remain completely culturally disconnected and we have absolutely no agenda.�

�You said earlier in your monologue: [President Donald] Trump�s trying to
solve problems,� Turrentine continued. �We always offer the three P�s: the personal attacks, which you just heard: �He�s a dictator and authoritative.�
We argue process: �Oh, he shouldn�t do this, he�s violating customs and
norms.� Or it�s the press: �It�s their job to do it.� And then on the
cultural issues � we literally have think tanks putting memos out that �these are the words you�re not supposed to say.� You add it all up and we are not
in good shape.�

True to Turrentine�s assessment, Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin opened the meeting � following the Pledge of Allegiance � by
introducing someone to give a �land acknowledgement� for the location of the meeting.

�Now 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 she�s going to deliver our land acknowledgment today,� Martin said.

Martin also raged against Trump and his �authoritarian� tendencies during the meeting, promising, �Democrats, make no mistake, a storm is coming. In fact, it�s already here. Rising inequality, attacks on democracy, voter
suppression, and a fascist regime that doesn�t play by the rules.�

Failed vice presidential candidate and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) joined Martin in that effort, trashing Republican voters, as well as the president. �Think
of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. Oh, what should I wear
today? This stupid, frickin� red hat. What should I say today? I don�t know, just make sure it�s 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 he�s talking about burning flags, he�s gonna have flag burning or whatever. Because he knows there�s a hell of a lot of flag with his picture on it that are gonna get burned.�
