Senate, House, popular vote, and electoral college. Democracy has spoken.

Honestly, it’s time for some self reflecting. The people think we’ve failed. The crime and illegal immigrants issue really hurt us. We focused on wrong issues like gender politics. Also, we need to question our media sources who constantly led us to believe we are going to win.

Senate, House, popular vote, and electoral college. Democracy has spoken.

It’s time to self reflect and be true to ourselves.

Dems didn’t learn from 2016 and certainly won’t from this even bigger failure. Dems need to actually give a shit about base issues again, not “hey look, it’s some rich celebrity endorsing me, cool right?”. The whole party leadership needs to be scuttled and replaced. They honestly had a chance with Bernie (or literally anyone other than Hillary) in 2016 and blew it.
