I don’t think they’ll learn. The left will continue to commie harder. I suspect Gavin Newsom will top the Dems’ 2028 ticket, though I believed he would be there this year. As poor as my punditry may be, I believe they ran Kamala rather than Newsom this year because they knew they couldn’t beat Trump and didn’t want to waste a “better” candidate. Kamala was the Dems’ sacrifice bunt waiting for a big hitter behind her in the lineup.
I tend to agree, but I also think that there's a chance for someone not-Newsom to emerge in the next four years and pull a post-94 Bill Clinton. That is, try to co-opt that which is popular and recapture some of the traditional Dem constituencies. Much depends on what Trump does and how well it works.
They refuse to be humbled. They refuse to admit they are wrong, they would rather believe that the majority of Americans are ignorant, bigoted haters. Let's see how that works out for them in the next elections. The electoral college map of counties is a breathtaking visual of where we stand.
The shame of it is that the hard-liners, the ones causing all this grief, are relatively few. They dominate good-minded liberal people through fear and intimidation.
