Maybe I’m not that smart, but shouldn’t we blame the fascists and the people who voted for the fascists for the impending fascism?

Sure, but what's your solution to that? What can Dems do differently next time that will stop the GOP cult from voting?

The answer is nothing, that's why they are a cult. Nobody can break through to the entire group, just trying to get through to individual members is difficult enough. The time to try and prevent the cult from rising was two decades ago. Now that it's here, our only option is to acknowledge its existence and fight it directly.

Blaming the GOP for running an effective campaign that motivated their cult to vote is how nobody learns anything. The Dems have to realize that they failed to run an effective campaign in opposition.

I just think finger pointing on the left is dumb, especially considering we don’t have proper breakdowns yet. Nobody has any good data, they’re just restating their opinions as the reason we lost.

The Democrats have tried the same shit for over a decade and you're saying we don't have enough data? People were calling out reasons before Harris had even lost and you think nobody has answers?

You lacking information doesn't mean the information doesn't exist.
