The only bright side is that it showed that the Dems can’t win while supplying and funding a clear genocide, courting neocons (who thought it was a good idea to campaign with a Cheney, the Hillary advisors lol), and just campaigning on being “not republican”.
It should be another slap like 2016 that they need to center around the working class that is desperate for change but given the leadership is beholden to the wealthy donors class and the fact that they didn’t learn last time I’m not expecting much outside of more incrementalism.
Leftist orgs definitely need to be pushing hard the next 4 years since there will be a lot of disillusionment among people like in 2016.
The Democrats and Republicans are just good cops and bad cops. They are the carrot and the stick. Trying to focus on one over the other is to fall for the kabuki theater.
