Here's a post-election question the Democrats might consider. Why did 75 million people vote for tRump, a sociopath? There are many reasons, not one, but consider this reason.
The Dems realized about 30 years ago that they could take the support of white union members and other workers for granted. Workers and their concerns could be ignored. They had to vote for Democrats. As voters they had no place else to go.
So the workers started voting Republican.
More recently the Democrats realized that they could take the support of progressives for granted. Today many Democratic leaders believe that progressives can and should be ignored. Progressives have no place else to go, right?
I see centrist Democrats attacking progressive Democrats on television, apparently set on driving them out of the party. Ancient Biden is staffing his cabinet with centrists. AOC was been denied the post she wanted by Ancient Nancy Pelosi.
In 2024 union workers and 30 million progressives will be told that they absolutely must support an organization that considers them stupid and has shut them out of deliberations and decisions. They will be told they have no place else to go.
