    Harris lost. That’s the point. If the dems want to win they need to learn from their mistakes, not give even more wedges to the right to scare away voters.

      Harris lost by a razor thin margin, and there’s legitimate concerns that they cheated (more directly than usual). They lost because they tried to ease up her messaging to avoid alienating the people who were always going to vote for Trump

      We need to rally around what everyone wants - free healthcare, affordable housing, tax the rich to do it. Just chant that over and over. Anyone who does that is going to win

      She lost, because (IMO) she basically gave a big middle finger to:

      • Leftists
      • Progressives
      • Arab-Americans

      And, because she decided these people were great people:

      • Dick Cheney
      • Bill Kristol
      • Georgie Bush
      • Mike Pence

      You know? The war criminals and war criminal enablers.

      The lesson Dems need to learn is that no matter how much they shift right, they’re not winning GOP voters. All they are doing is shedding voters on the left. The whole “Vote for us because other team is bad” rings hollow when you’re doing everything the other team is doing, too.
