If a hundred million of your constituents are asking you to do something, fucking do it. A candidate can tell their base to shut up, but expecting them to still turn out, as we just saw, is a fantasy.
The majority of people shitting on dems were not dem constituents. They were Republicans. An unfortunate number were dems but far from a majority, going by primary results for the last two decades.
There's a lot of cocky talk from you about majorities from someone bemoaning an electoral defeat across the board.
Look at this dude, proudly declaring the left's defeat to Republicans. You some kind of conservative?
