    Democrats elected Trump and his group by refusing to listen to the demands of voters.

      I just can’t get on board with this logic regardless how many times it’s repeated. Voters knew what they were voting for—how is it not on the voters?

        The Democrats have cried about “the most important election of our lives” too many times, and people tuned it out. For people crying how terrifying a Trump presidency was going to be, their actions told voters that they would be happy to let this happen and keep working with the same individuals they told them would end democracy, and so far, they continue to work with the Republicans, with a very few conspicuous exceptions.

        People warned the Democrats they could only run that play so many times before it no longer worked, yet they decided to stick with it anyway. If the Democrats wanted to win, they needed to have run a very different campaign, if not a different candidate.
