“The Dems should have appealed more to centrist Republicans”
“The Dems should have had an actually progressive platform”
In a two-party system, the Democrats have the impossible task of appealing to literally everyone who isn’t MAGA. That is way too big of a tent, especially when over half the voters are perfectly willing/happy to vote MAGA.
I’m terrified of the coming Christo-fascist regime, but blaming that on how the Dems positioned themselves or campaigned isn’t a useful exercise.

@noleli had this convo with my parents today actually. “Kamala didn’t appeal to the financially suffering enough.”
No. Trumps Christofascist messaging is just appealing to more people.

"Appeal to everyone who's not a cult follower" feels like an impossible task...

I get it. But both things are true. Horrible American people voted for the fascist, because that's what horrible people do.
Capitalism has run amok for so long in this country, it has ruined so many lives. Democrats and Republicans, while certainly different in social issues, fundamentally both buy this economic philosophy. Of course the average non horrible person is apathetic.
Hopefully there's another election where hopefully the Democrats can try something different.
