Kamala losing and Bernie staying popular as well as politicians like Andy Beshear sort of cements that America is ready for a 'conservative' figure with progressive views over a 'progressive' figure with conservative views.

I think takes like these are likely "directionally true" but really sully the lesson Democrats need to learn, which is that we do NOT have a dedicated and weathered base of voters who will show up no matter what. Republicans do and have for 20 years.
Here's a somewhat contrarian view on the the presidential election: The results we've seen so far aren't particularly strong evidence of a deep shift toward Republicans among the American electorate.

Rather, it seems like a case of non-huge shifts having very big consequences.

Whew, lot of liberals in deep denial and I'm over it. Amy Coney Barrett is not going to be a "moderating" voice on SCOTUS. Stop pretending white women like her are reasonable. She's an Evangelical who is 100% behind all of this. Why else do you think someone as unqualified was appointed? Good grief.

really nice to just have fun conversations with people on here like on old forums

I just don’t care about being cringe or not or being savvy or not. The election blindsided me. I feel like an idiot. I don’t feel like a Winning Politics Genius.

But I can talk to cool people. And that’s something

winning and being right are two entirely different concepts that only West-Wing Liberals conflate as being one in the same

Not a single conversation I have had with Trump voters post-win has been about how excited they are for his policies to come to fruition. Not once. Just about winning the culture war.

Think about how you would be talking if Kamala won. It would be about making lives better.

This is so sickening.

There are no diatribes in the bible about how the Kingdom of Heaven is only for the perfect little gatekeepers that act out of pure greed and selfishness and all the marginalized and beat down people get to suck it.

Actually, quite the opposite.

God gave this country the easiest moral test one could offer and we failed miserably and with confidence. God save us all.

Republicans don't wait until they have a Majority before taking action or getting things done.

Work in your state to get a Constitutional Amendment rolling or for better Early Voting access.

Not petition signing or feigning over how to get nazi men to drop their whole identity...

Everyone is posting their version of "How the Dems can comeback" from this, but I think everyone is way off.

Republicans did not widen their appeal, they changed systems to make their appeal widen in who it applied to.

Spend your time changing voting accessibility. Millions fewer voted this year.

Not that any amount of solidarity would have won this one, to be fair, but holy fuck is it unsustainable for winning any more than one (1) election in a row
