There are a lot of wild and angry takes in here right now. There is absolutely no basis for stating what anyone else would’ve done. The facts are simple, for two straight elections Democrats tried to appeal to moderate and suburban voters and lost. Their landslides in 2008 and win in 2012 came on the heels of African-American turnout surpassing white turnout for the first time in history. Those Obama margins of losing in rural America will not change no matter who you run, that’s a lost cause especially given the destruction of unions by Republicans. Democrats need to invest heavily in people of color, Democrat-leaning voters and turning millennials - who will mostly be in their late 20s to early 40s next election - into regular voters. Get people who are likeable and believable and go from there. Also, focus on winning state and local races and stop wasting money on shyt like a Kentucky senate race against McConnell. All that money should’ve gone to local races and minority outreach. Schumer has to go. He has failed as a leader and lost everything that Harry Reid and co. built.
