Indeed
Also, if they mean the "Democratic Party" by "the democrats", then I think the "lesson" was very different to what these people assume. They think what they "taught" the party was that the party should go more to the left.
The lesson they actually taught the party was that the people on the left are untrustworthy and it is better to appeal to centrists who are greater in number and turn out more.

@screwturn@mastodon.social @benroyce@mastodon.social I suppose someone could choose to view me as a "teach the democrats a lesson" person. What is unfortunate is jumping to a conclusion that makes us feel good about our own position, versus actually engaging with people we don't understand.
This is a moment in history where we should be self-reflecting first, rather than blaming other people for our own political failures. Do we really expect that repeating the same thing over and over again will yield different results?
