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.
People are scared about how they'll keep having food and shelter and the dems were calling it "brat summer" and hoping for a "vibes election".
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.
