The democrats lost to fascists. This isnt going to play out in a democratic fashion where democrats figure out the secret sauce and come back to win elections. People are still in denial now but trump and conservatives will be consolidating power federally and in the private sector to the point that the Democratic Party of yesteryear simply cant exist. This is a fascist oligarchy now, moreso than ever in the past, and the rich will be deciding who wins elections, and more importantly, which policies and which laws will be passed or repealed.
