    We just gave the presidency and both houses of Congress to Republicans. Apparently this is what America wants.

      Democrats lost because a big chunk of their base was so disgusted at Democrats’ behavior that they stayed home. Do Republican politicians start capitulating to Democrats en masse every time they lose an election? No. They look at their base and ask what they can do to get their votes back. Democrats in response to losing just try even harder to get Republican to vote for them.

        Doesn’t sound like much of a base if they won’t even show up to vote.

        I’d love it if the Democrats were farther left, but the left doesn’t consistently show up when it matters or else we wouldn’t be looking down the barrel of another trump term.
