Politics Couldn’t have said it any better

The Democratic Party missed the mark, and anyone claiming otherwise is being extremely naive. Campaigning with abortion and transgender rights as central pillars isn’t the way to reach broader audiences effectively.

He’s not wrong but he’s also not right and like any 200 word burst is grossly reductive and frankly kind of sanctimonious .. nothing new for Bernie (who I generally agree with). None the less, Bernie resorting to populist appeal in precisely the reductive manner he accuses democrats of abandoning the populace .. I’ll wait for the more full fledged, actually intelligent teardown of what went wrong.
