Vincent Oriedo, a biotechnology scientist, had just such a question. What lessons have been learned, he asked, from Harris’s defeat in this vital swing county in a crucial battleground state that voted for Joe Biden four years ago, and how are the Democrats applying them?

“They did not answer the question,” he said.

“It tells me that they haven’t learned the lessons and they have their inner state of denial. I’ve been paying careful attention to the influencers within the Democratic party. Their discussions have centred around, ‘If only we messaged better, if only we had a better candidate, if only we did all these superficial things.’ There is really a lack of understanding that they are losing their base, losing constituencies they are taking for granted.”

“We have set ourselves up for generational loss because we keep promoting from within leaders that that do not criticise the moneyed interests. They refuse to take a hard look at what Americans actually believe and meet those needs.”

    Let’s see:

    Democrat voter base is steadily more and more changing from the blue collar worker to the more educated, college/university citizen.

    Problem: there are more blue collar workers than university/college educated citizens

    Part of the democrat campaign zeitgeist is that if you don’t vote for them, then you are [EXPLETIVE].

    Problem: most people don’t like to vote for the party with members that calls them slurs

    Democrats think that Kamala lost because she is a woman

    Problem: for the average voter, gender doesn’t matter in any of the key areas a president has to manage

    For the collectivists, the average male voter is assumed to be privileged, racist, bigoted, homophobic, millionaire, uneducated, emotionally stunted, a rapist, a Nazi, not people, and so on

    Problem: assuming this is true for every male voter in the sweeping criticism of the patriarchy has left the male voter disenchanted and being pushed into the only people who are listening to them and their problems of unemployment, lack of financial security, health issues, and so on.

    There is much more but yeah you guys tried to PIVOT the entirety of your message from the key 4 years like 2 months before the end of the campaign and you couldn’t even do that correctly.

      No such thing as a “Patriarchy” when you can falsely accuse a man & get them fired & especially when you have several welfare programs that are for women only

        Patriarchy is not a binary issue. Even at the height of Patriarchy, there will still be issues where women have the upper hand. In today’s world, Patriarchy has steadily been weakened by people’s efforts, but that doesn’t mean your system is no longer based on Patriarchy.

        In order to uproot Patriarchy, you need to destroy the whole system and rebuild from the ground up, which is of course, impractical and clearly haven’t been done.

        If you strongly believe you no longer have a Patriarchy in the US, please show me when did this over turning event that uprooted Patriarchy from your system occurred.

          Oh There’s no need to “Believe”, that would imply there’s no factual evidence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve9ZZNfytns

          This not just a US thing, it’s a global thing No such thing as a “Patriarchy” (If women are in power in a patriarchy then it isn’t much of a patriarchy now is it, also feminists demand men to be tied down to their gender roles while demanding women to be exempt from their, when they should be demanding to free both genders)

          Gynocentrism on the other hand is very real

          Why believe when I can prove

          This is going to be interesting, if you reject this then it’ll be clear that you are not interested in having a proper debate
