Before you shrug this question... Article from the liberal Washington Post suggests democrats desperately need to try a different approach or else continue to get trounced in elections.
The post says if democrats don't change their platform and methods, they will have to get used to losing in most red states which are growing based on the last Trump win.
Wow. Big message. Let's see if we see any changes..
No shortage of similar rhetoric and articles were published in 2008 onwards about the Republican Party.
After Todd Akin and Joe Walsh crashed and burned, the GOP invested in charm school to teach candidates how to win by not inserting their respective foots in their mouths.
Took 8 years for Republicans to win majorities in both chambers and the White House.
If not for Trump, no certainty a Republican would be in the oval, today.
The democrats can win in the future. They just need to push the most popular candidate. In the past election they made the mistake of pushing the lower polling candidate Hillary instead of Bernie Sanders who would have won. Surely they won't make that mistake again.
And for another example lets talk about 8 years ago when Obama won the presidency. People were saying the same thing about the Republicans and losing. Look what happened 8 years later.
Keep running with that. We like to see the Democratic party run by delusional socialists and their supporters, abandoning the vast majority of the centrist Dems, Independents and potential Republican voters. Most of the country is smart enough to know that you can't keep giving away free stuff....with no way to pay for it. Most actually WORK for a living and know that there are no jobs without successful businesses to create them. Most don't want to be dependent on government handouts. And most don't live in their parent's basement.
The DNC has gone full libt@rd. Beyond the snowflakes they have very little appeal to the rest of the country.
Democratics avoid recent history.... Actual any history

To the democrats that are in denial about Republican success, just days after Trumps win of the Presidency, democrat media was putting boat anchors around Pelosi and Schumer.
And now look today as democrats hail them again as the leaders of change. See how democrats still don't have a clue about the majority of America? Democrats think the Oscars, LA, and a Paris climate conference are reality when those democrats continue to preach and practice elite socialists democratic ideas of the typical democrat today.
Results matter and the 2016 election should have been an expensive democratic lesson but like a lot of education, democrats believe an alternate history. 2017 supreme court, 2018 mid-terms.... Hey bring back Hillary!!! Or Al Gore!
Can we blame Obama for setting up the country for a Republican win in 2016?
Or should we blame the Dems for putting Hillary the crooked one up?
Either way there were buckets and baskets of Deplorables that did not like the way the country was being led and they "The People" turned out in force.
Yesterday I spoke with a woman that was in her words 110% for Trump and she loves what he is doing. She also stated that she has lost friends over politics and she has a hard core Dem friend who has been losing weight because she still has trouble eating since Trump won.
I have also lost "friends" and know people who admitted that they were physically ill the night of the election to the point where they thought they might have to go the emergency room.
These are the Dems that I know and after 8 years of Democratic dominance of the country and decades of Democratic rule in our state of Massachusetts it is very hard for them to admit that their party is imploding and losing.
With what we have been seeing from the Left and their tantrums over Trump I wouldn't be surprised if they lost even more in the midterm elections.
The People are sick of it.
I think Bernie would have beat Trump the Democrats look pretty pathetic right now. They're a party of losers and 2018 and 2020 isn't looking good for them.
They can go blow up all the Starbucks they want it just makes them looking even dumber and more pathetic.
Conservatives formed the Tea Party, and got very vocal, got crying about Obama, and eventually got their way. Now the liberals are getting vocal, watch as the same thing happens.
No crying, no safe space, no riots, no need to play with children's toys Nothing like the Liberal Terrorists.
Democrats not only wallow but inherently revel in defeat.
For others , loss is a time of reflection and a chance to learn from defeat. Leave the stadium without savagely attacking the other team. The Democrats have not left the stadium yet, the other team is now inclined to remind them of the fact they lost...and why not ?, the winning team can not perform as the losers persist in time wasting and other gamemanship.

They will keep losing, as they repeatedly fail to learn their lesson, as they have lost 1,000 DC and state seats since 2010.

That is true. Often the old NYT or Washington post reminds democrats just how many election seats they have lost in laSt 8 years yet the democratic platform keeps aiming for the cliff.
