The Democrats refusal to court their actual voter base cost them the election. They ran on a moderate platform when going up against a far right extremist.

Guys, they are the system. Why don't you understand that?
And Trump voters thought they were also voting against the system. One week later we are beginning to see that outcome. As long as we have legalized corruption, this system will never work for the majority.
Another way of looking at it is that the system is working perfectly. Just not for you.
There's no failure of Democrats other than their not lying for 4 years straight in order to secure their power.
Trump told Muslims he would do better than Biden. Then after winning he nominated Mike Huckabee who has already said the West Bank should be annexed by Israel.
Trump told Blacks Biden hasn't done enough. Then after winning he picked Steven Miller as deputy chief of staff and Pete Hegseth as defense secretary. They're both proud white supremacists.
That's all good well, but those aren't the groups that elected Trump, especially not black people. It was whites and Latinos.
especially not black people.

Trump has already nominated two vocal white nationalists to his cabinet.
According to your link, 21% of black men, an increase of 2% over 2020, and 7% of black women. No, blacks did not elect trump, lol. 57% of whites, including 53% of white women, and 46% of Latinos sleeved trump. These two groups are significantly larger than the black electorate.

Because they aren't trying to win. Controlled opposition
Yeah that’s about right
