Vincent Oriedo, a biotechnology scientist, had just such a question. What lessons have been learned, he asked, from Harris’s defeat in this vital swing county in a crucial battleground state that voted for Joe Biden four years ago, and how are the Democrats applying them?

“They did not answer the question,” he said.

“It tells me that they haven’t learned the lessons and they have their inner state of denial. I’ve been paying careful attention to the influencers within the Democratic party. Their discussions have centred around, ‘If only we messaged better, if only we had a better candidate, if only we did all these superficial things.’ There is really a lack of understanding that they are losing their base, losing constituencies they are taking for granted.”

“We have set ourselves up for generational loss because we keep promoting from within leaders that that do not criticise the moneyed interests. They refuse to take a hard look at what Americans actually believe and meet those needs.”

    Anyone who whines about downvotes should be downvoted, since they are off-topic.

      Who’s whining (Apparently Predicting that bigots will downvote = whining) ?? all I see is people who cannot stand the bitter truth & apparently you are the arbitter of what is off-topic & what is not

      Not that it matters, because at the end the point is very simple, you leftists never learn & are in denial about your losses (yes I know Democrats are liberals)<br> Hence you’ll keep on losing, until you’re dust; Hell, even you leftists when push comes to shove behave like/devolve into right-wingers & use their talking points
