General Discussion

I'd argue that losing to Trump was dispositive. I voted for Harris and Walz, but we lost every swing state.

Some folks think we weren't left enough. I won't go into a discussion about what is truly left and what is just performative. But some folks want to try what they think of as left and take it further. It looks like that's what we're going to try.

The good thing is, we'll have the result of that experiment after the midterms. I don't want to lose 2028. If we don't do very well in the midterms, that means the people who think of their definition of left as being the left and who got less than stellar results need to take a back seat and hand the mic to others as a matter of duty to the Democratic Party.

If we do exceedingly well in the midterms and win both Houses of Congress, then the people have spoken, and I'll accept that. Let the experiment be run.
