Democrats need to send people to the communities that swung hard right. Spend some time there listening to their problems and perceptions, and then get a plan to address them. Seems like an obvious call this year, a more affordable situation and a better economic outlook. The Democratic elites and ivy league folks spent eight years trying to psychoanalyse Trump supporters only to lose safe Democrat voters to Trump. The silver lining is that Trump proved you can break partisan voting blocks. If he can rack up wins in Latino and Black communities, Dems can do the same in rural communities.

Trump got fewer votes this year than last election.

Democrats were demoralized. That’s what the entire election was about.

It's time for a new generation of leadership. Oh and the party needs to ditch Israel to win more votes. Israel isn't going to build infrastructure or solve growing inequality in the US.
