more important than compromising vs uncompromising, they've failed to engage with the broader public to make their case.
That's the real lesson here, captured by Harris missing chance after chance to make a solid argument for her perspective.
Democrats acted like they could just be right and waltz into office. That's just not how democracy works, though.
They need to engage with those outside their spheres. They haven't been doing that.
@sj_zero YES!
I've been having those Marie Antoinette vibes from the left for years, but I forgot about it.
Every time Harris would talk about some promise but have no way to actually get there, it was, Let them eat cake. Why not?
This was a Marie Antoinette election.
Hopefully this election helps humble the Democrats somewhat so they can nail their feet to the floor and start running campaigns in the real world again. Blowouts like last week aren't ultimately good for the people in general.
