Searchlight – New Democrat Think Tank

Another day, another Democrat strategist is out for a money grab. This has to be the third or fourth one this month and it’s only June 3. For the right price, Democrats can be told how to talk to men, not put people in boxes and not cancel your friends and families for disagreeing with you. This new think tank comes from a former aide to the late Senator Harry Reid and is named after his birthplace, Searchlight, Nevada. This one is just as YHGTBKM as the rest.

This latest plan was revealed to us by Politico. The article is titled “New think tank ‘Searchlight’ pushes Democrats toward more popular positions”. Thank you, Captain Obvious. The article repeats, quite a few times, that people were “granted anonymity”. I think that this article is practically a press release put out by the Searchlight officers through Politico. Just sayin’. It was just last week that Politico suggested a Shadow Cabinet strategy, remember? Fox News told us about the $20,000,000 plan called “Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan”, remember?

So what’s the latest strategist’s money grab, uh, I mean, what’s this guy selling? From the article:

At a private meeting last month, a top Democratic strategist pitched party leaders and donors: We need to break down ideological lanes and reject interest group agendas if we plan to win again.

Adam Jentleson, former chief of staff to Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) and top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), used the retreat to preview his new policy research and messaging hub, called Searchlight. Its goal: push the Democratic Party toward the most effective, broadly popular positions regardless of which wing of the party they come from, with an eye toward 2028, according to five people who have spoken directly to Jentleson and were granted anonymity to describe private conversations. Seth London, an adviser to major Democratic donors, is working with Jentleson on the effort.

I think this means, and this is for free, that on 80/20 issues, go with the 80% not the 20%. Democrats are stuck on the 20%. Stop dragging on White pypo, especially if you are White yourself. And, stop dropping “F” bombs all over Hell and half of Georgia.

Adam Jentleson seems semi-honest which is bizarre for a political advisor. He also seems practical:

More from the article:

The think tank’s mission, as described by these people, is an explicit rejection of purity tests Jentleson sees as holding the party hostage, the most famous of which became fodder for a highly effective ad Donald Trump used against former Vice President Kamala Harris during his campaign to recapture the presidency.

Searchlight — a name inspired by the birthplace of Jentleson’s former boss, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — comes at a precarious moment for a Democratic Party looking to revive its deeply unpopular brand and eyeing a comeback in the 2026 midterms. One person directly familiar with the project, granted anonymity to describe private details, said its aim will be to create “an institutional space where Democrats can think freely and put those ideas out into the world.”

“That doesn’t exist right now because anywhere else, you’re going to get those ideas sanded down from one angle or another,” the person continued, adding that it wasn’t going to be driven ideologically or “on a left-right binary scale,” but rather “draw on the best ideas wherever they come from.”

Interesting because we always see Democrats pull bad ideological ideas from the Left on a strict binary scale. Watch Debbie Dingell get all offended as Scott Jennings calls out the wrong side of the binary scale where Democrats fall.

Jentleson explained the group to top Democratic donors and officials, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin and other congressional members, according to those people. The confab, dubbed “Wildflower,” was hosted at a swanky resort of the same name in upstate New York, where it also drew several potential 2028 candidates, including former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego.

Good luck to Adam Jentleson. He started off well by holding Wildflower at “swanky” resort. Searchlight should be a good money making operation. Work it until the grift runs out. The Democrats aren’t the cool kids they have thought themselves to be. They are myopic racists and always have been. I’ll take my portion of the grift now, thank you.
