12. If we refuse to learn from this it will keep happening

Life is very hard for a lot of people right now, and it only got harder during the Biden administration. Things got more expensive, people can't afford a place to live in most metro areas, health care is worse and costs more, wages have not kept up, etc. IT'S NOT SOEMTHING TRIVIAL. It's vital. It's frankly way more important to many people than anything else.

I get it, Harris had a lot of good ideas to help. Many of those things aren't the Biden administration's fault.

But many people remember they had it better under Trump when the Obama economy was delivering for them.

It's not fair, but there it is.

We need to actually articulate real policy in easy-to-understand terms. I get it. Talking about how all the problems facing the country today result from rich people not being asked to pay their fair share and allowing them to buy votes isn't going to be easy for candidates getting funded by those same people, but we need to articulate that simply and concisely, or we're going to keep suffering defeats like this.

Ideally, we need someone who refuses to accept money from big donors.
