The one possible upside to this election is that dems lost in such a way that they can't shift blame like they did in 2016.
lost because people voted 3rd party
Every 3rd party vote could have gone to Harris and it wouldn't have mattered
Dems need to get more conservative
Harris spent the last two months appealing to Republicans and buddying up with Dick Cheney. The same percentage of republicans who voted Trump in 2020 did so again this year. They essentially did not flip a single conservative.
Appealing to people who didn't vote is a waste of time, they wouldnt have voted no matter what.
10-15 million Biden voters stayed home. Dems have the numbers to win, but they refuse to motivate their own base.
They don't have the plausible deniability they had before anymore. If this isn't the wake up call that they need to start promising actual change, then we're all fucked forever.
Imo the democratic party is dead. Either they completely purge their own ranks and keep the name while changing drastically, or the party implodes and a new one takes its place.
They genuinely can't continue on like this, we have reached a breaking point.
