I don't think they'll change much in moving more Left, or even less. Some of the most visible members like Nancy and Chuck seem very happy with the party right now. But I do think we'll see another four years of them trying to overturn the election results.
They are just being themselves, which is neurotic, emotional, and reactive. They aren't going to change or reinvent themselves because that would mean being fake. I'll give them credit for their honestly though. Now admittedly, Trump acts just like them, perhaps worse, which is why they dislike him so much. He borrows from their playbook.
Opening stuff back up early against the wishes of the nanny state is only going to increase his popularity. He might actually win whereas he might not have had the virus not occurred. I don't care much either way.
Now is the time to abandon the corporatist center and embrace a progressive agenda in the image of Sanders. We need to highlight the failings of our system, where we’re allowing the plutocracy to continue to increase their wealth and power at the expense of the rest of us, with a smaller and smaller share for us, with fewer workers rights, lax environmental protections and an increasingly unstable economy.
We should embrace regulation to shore up the rights of workers, including paid sick leave, PTO, and making it easier to unionize. Similarly, we need to get going with Medicare for All immediately and enter the first world. Taxation should come into line with the modern world to appropriately find our infrastructure and social needs.
I dunno, I'd hope they'd learn their lesson finally after Trump is re-elected, but I think they'll probably just blame Russia again or some other conspiracy theory.

They should have done this in 2017. Since they didn't, and there's no indication that the leadership of the party has any current interest in doing so in the near future, it's a total wildcard to me. I'm not making ANY predictions about it, because in order to do so, there needs to be a logical foundation for it. Since the Democrats are currently acting illogically and irrationally, there's no way to predict what they'll do next.
AOC and her mob have been very quiet of late since Bernie was thrown under the bus...again. I think the radical left is toast.
They are lost right now. They are trying to win with has beens...Biden & Dodd...c'mon man! These guys are so old, they can hardly remember the waitress sandwiches, they've now moved on to ice cream sandwiches.
The NYT and DNC are in a war over sleepy Joe. Its like weekend at Bernie's w/ old Joe Biden.

Yeah, one would hope. They attempted to push a garbage tier candidate in 2016 that had a ton of baggage that no one really liked, just assuming that people would vote for anyone they commanded them to in order to beat the bad orange man...it backfired. In response they blamed everyone else in the world but themselves and pushed conspiracy theories for years.
Now they are pushing yet another garbage tier candidate that has a ton of baggage that no one really likes just assuming that people will vote for anyone they command them to in order to beat the bad orange man.
They failed to learn their lesson, and they are repeating the same mistakes. Hopefully they learn from it this time rather than going the deflection and conspiracy theory route.
They won't get the message and will move even further to the left, alienating more voters.
Fine with me, we'll take 2024 too, but hopefully, with a fiscal Conservative. The interest on the debt by then will be too massive to ignore.
