this was my mistake with 2016. I thought that Trump's victory might provoke democrats to rethink why they lost and tear down the neoliberal establishment and abandon the PC crusade
instead they triple down
admittedly it would be hard to feed their voters what they want to hear (it's unfair Trump won, orange man bad) while also changing.
what i find really funny is the people who came out and said "i was out of touch with blue collar america, the electoral college isn't a race run by the coasts" were applauded. at least they had some answer to "how did this happen". then after a few short weeks it was right back to extremism and calling anyone and everyone a _______ist until they stopped listening. AOC, the re-rise of Bern, cheering for Beto's "we're coming for your guns", cheering for Warren's "billionaires hate this one simple trick, 3x tax hikes", throwing biden under the bus every chance they have even though he's the only electable candidate. etc.
they're tanking like they get extra electoral draft picks in 2024 or something. this shit's wild.
