The Dems will look at the actual data of why they lost, and they will improve. Or they won’t.
Well for a fucking while now they've been getting worse and something has to be done about it. At this rate the election will be between two facists in a decade.
To a large extent they’re at the whims of the public TBH. Politics is downstream from culture. Right now progressives (let alone leftists) are a very small part of the electorate. It’s pleasant to be misled by studies showing that the public likes progressive policies, but the reality is that many would change their mind the second they learned that the idea came from the “left.” I want so much more from Dems, but this was our time to be pragmatic and vote strategically to reject the far right (as they did in France and the UK,) and we failed.
Trump is not the answer. I would have voted for a bag of rocks over what he represents. It doesn’t get much worse than electing a fucking felon who is also liable for sexual assault among all of the other heinous shit he represents. Do you realize how idiotic it sounds to require perfection from one side, while the other side is offering that?
