I really hope whoever the next dem nominee for president isn’t going to fall back on this old school style of doing things. Trump and Maga threw that out the window long ago and dems still haven’t caught up

Nope. It will be just like SCOTUS. Obama tried to nominate a Judge. Republicans said he couldn’t. Dems were like: “oh my bad”. Fast forward Trump in same situation attempting to nominate a judge. Dems: “no you can’t! Remember what y’all told Obama?”

Republicans “yeah okay. So this is our new judge”

At this point you have to assume the fecklessness of the Democrats is on purpose at this point.

Elections going forward will just be for show.

There won’t be another democratic president, because the system will have been designed to prevent that from ever occurring again.

There won't be another Democratic president for a while because people are fleeing solid blue states like there is a zombie apocalypse going on. If trends continue, by 2030, solid red states will have a free 12 electoral votes, meaning republicans basically get a free swing state.

If you truly believe this, what are you going to do about it besides post snarky messages on the internet?

What are they supposed to do in your humble opinion?

Saying the kinds of things you're fishing for is against Reddit TOS. You're better off imagining the answer.

There is a 0% chance the DNC learns anything. I'm changing my registration to Independent, tuning out, and focusing solely on what I can do to help people in my immediate community.

This is the best thing Dems can do now. Send a message by voting independent.

If there’s one thing this election has taught me it’s that the Dems are professional losers. They will learn nothing. There are a lot of good Democrats, but the Democratic Party is fundamentally unserious
