People need to stop chasing conspiracy theories (we aren’t MAGAts. Do better) and get on board with the actual reasons we lost. The party seems to have a grip on this. We know we are getting absolutely CRUSHED by misinformation and the endless right wing voices out there. If the DNC enters the war of information, and does it right, we’ll win again.

We won’t win by sulking about how there is no way we could possibly lose so they must have cheated.
