That’s not the lesson learned by Trump winning. The learned lesson would be Joe Biden isn’t enough like Trump and the democrats need to be further right to win.
I don’t think that. But that’s the lesson that gets learned. Why did Biden get the nomination? Because he was “electable.” What did primary voters decide electable meant? The most milquetoast and “center” candidate of the bunch. Trump winning doesn’t push Democrats to be progressive or bold. It pushes them away from that. Only when they feel they have huge majorities do they do anything verging on progressive.
It does matter, though.
That’s what democrats still haven’t realized.
Maybe a 2nd trump presidency will teach them.

So they can recruit more conservatives?
What makes you think a significant number of people who voted for Trump will ever consider voting for a democrat?

All it did was cause them to run the exact same candidate that lost to Trump but this time with a penis.
