Such a concise statement, yet so far reaching.... Democrats in denial.
Democrats taking a more "moderate position"... LMFAO....... BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

"The whole Democratic Party is now a smoking pile of rubble."
Matthew Yglesias wrote a column for Vox with that memorable headlinelast November, two days after the general election. Was it overstated? Sure. But the exaggeration was salutary. Democrats needed to wake up to the fact that the party got (as Yglesias put it) "annihilated" from top to bottom on Election Day. Donald Trump didn't just manage to (barely) win the presidency. The GOP ran the table, holding onto both houses of Congress, ensuring the Supreme Court would continue to lean right for years to come, and taking control of two-thirds of state legislatures, two-thirds of governorships, and 24 states outright. Democrats lost in nearly every way imaginable.
If that's not quite a smoking pile of rubble, it's pretty damn close.
Given that painful reality, it made sense to assume that Democrats would spend the following year focused on the one and only thing that matters: gaining a greater share of political power by winning future elections at every level, from local to national.
Unfortunately, they did no such thing.
