This was the third time since Reagan that the GOP won a popular vote, so I'm not going to subscribe to the idea that there's been failing again and again. I maintain that the both sides and sanewashing, indeed a propping up on Trump, by the media is a thing and plays an outsized role. Like others, I maintain that the Democratic party has been the party of workers, of farmers, of humans. I do, absolutely, think that misogyny and racism played a key role in this, and will continue to be a big, and detrimental, thing for a very long time. Harris took into account all the excuses about Hillary Clinton and it didn't matter because those things never mattered. It wasn't that Clinton didn't campaign in Wisconsin, it was because Clinton is a woman.
People who claim to want freedom, progress, etc pissing into the tent has never and will never help.
Insisting on media change will. The long game (like done at a state level in Wisconsin to reverse the gerrymander) is required. Flip statehouses. Win back House and Senate seats. Stop attacking women and people who don't look, live, and love like what the GOP says they're supposed to. Be less online and more in life. Do more than blame and talk, especially at a local level. I believe that building people up is still better than burning it down even when the mood is dark and the anger, righteous or misplaced, is palpable.
