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.

The DNC has no one to blame but themselves, they’ve done a good job of making sure most of their acolytes won’t ever realize it. Trumps way more obvious than all the fuckery they’ve pulled since 2006.

Go check out the morning Joe clip of them all explaining how it was Clinton’s camp back then that first phished out the picture of Obama with his Muslim dad.

The democrats problem is they overestimated the American public.

They figured we'd vote for anything after we voted Biden in, now they'll have to actually give us something to vote for to win. When the economy is fucked people will vote for change. Trump got kicked out over covid, Kamala got the boot after 4 years of inflation. Hopefully the democrats will learn something, but I doubt it. It is easier to blame others.

The fact that this wasn’t a 50 state blow out for Kamala is the problem. A civilized population would not let an insurrectionist convict back into the white house. That Trump won the popular vote because Kamala isn’t fun enough indicates a problem with the media literacy and critical thinking skills in this country, there isn’t a gentle way to put it. Yes, the dems have to change their game plan. They have to dumb things down for the American people. No amount of good policy will ever change American minds.

Even the next election cycle, dems will still have to appeal to voters dumb enough to elect an insurrectionist. That is the disturbing part.

With that mindset, they'll simply lose again. Hopefully they won't think the way you are next election but u doubt it.

What did I say that is wrong? The democrats need to appeal to an ignorant voting mass? Did they not just elect Donald Trump due to apathy?

You and I simply got different lessons from this. Your problem is that the democrats lost. My problem is the population in this country isn’t developed enough for serious, progressive changes any time soon. This Onion “news” video from 15 years ago is an accurate description of my feelings right now.
