who are responsible for their votes. You cannot--repeat CANNOT--change people who were raised to be racists, sexists, and xenophobes. The schools, a favorite whipping boy in liberal circles, did NOT make these people that way. Their parents did. They HAVE to learn the hard way when they are made destitute by the far right's policies, should they be enacted. Even then, I doubt they would change. They would just lash out at "the other."
I suggest people stop watching the MSM and especially the talking heads. These media people either don't know what they are talking about, or they are deliberately deflecting from the real problem.
The problem isn't with the Democratic Party. The problem clearly lies with those who voted for Trump.

I hope we harangue them daily and never let them forget that they promised lower prices. Ain't gonna happen.

Yes, the problem is with the people - and we can't change them. So if we want to be competitive, we need to change

Wrong. It is about the hatred towards women, women represented by Kamala Harris.
