Harris’s platform was literally “we’ll keep doing the same things that haven’t been working for the bottom 85% for 30y” and people are shocked she didn’t win the election. This was a referendum on neoliberal business as usual and they lost, hard.
Will they learn from this or accept any responsibility or change their platform for the next race? Find out over the next couple of weeks as they scramble to find a scapegoat to blame instead of actually thinking about policies that would help the vast majority of the public.

You would have thought people in this country would have learned that in 2016 when Trump ran against NAFTA and with a populist message that, yes, used immigrants as a scapegoat.
But the neoliberal elite of the party continue to show nothing but disdain for populism, evidenced by how they treated Bernie and choosing candidates who literally run on nothing “fundamentally” changing.
