    Yes. My comment is entirely about the failures of the democratic party and how they lost to a racist narcissistic old white man twice.

    People critical of voters are for some reason trying to place blame on them instead of the political campaigns with near limitless funds that lost to him TWICE. And still keep arguing for the same tactics.

    They don’t realize how embarrassing it is to admit their defeat and not reflect on the political party itself as the thing that needs to change. Arguing for voters to change without the party changing is arguing for no change at all. Voters change VIA the messaging and actions OF THE PARTY.

    Blaming voters is an admission that the party is unchangeable and that democratic process is dead. Because, like it or not, the party and it’s representatives hold the power through elections. If the party refuses to change policy based on voters then we are just bouncing between two parties that do not represent the majority of the population. Which we are.
