The family group chat has circled back to an age-old discussion:

How Did The Democratic Party Shoot Themselves In The Foot This Time and How Many Lessons Will They Not Learn From This?

The answers are all variations on the same things we have all yelled at them for decades: Stop worrying so much about appealing to moderates that you refuse to actually take any big swings with your own platform. Stop being vague and half-assed with your economic platform and come out blatantly and radically pro-labor. Stop actively antagonizing your base and your left while being friendly with the right. Voter do not want a conservative wearing a blue hat, you have lost so many elections to this idea, how many more before you give up on this strategy?

The Democratic Party fatal flaw is and always has been that they have no fucking teeth.

Will they learn from this and start coming forward with commitments to things like ending the filibuster, supreme court reform, closing the pay gap between ceos and labor, punishing predatory investors, restricting profitable companies from doing layoffs, making a 40hr/week full time job viable for paying bills and owning a home again, ending student loan debt etc;?

No.

That would mean risking having corporations and weirdo independents be mad at them and they’re allergic to those

reminder that adhd medication isn't a luxury or preference, but a lifesaving medication. a 10 year long study in the usa showed that, when properly medicated, the rate of car crashes people with adhd get into goes down significantly--men's rate drops by 38%, and women's by 42%. the med shortage, denial of meds by doctors, rising prices, and the "war on drugs" has killed--with such a car dependent society, not driving frequently isn't an option, which means we need better healthcare and need it now.
