Laying Blame Is Not the Answer [View all]
We lost the election. Why we lost it, exactly, isn't clear. What to do now is also unclear. So, many people are looking for things to blame for the loss. Some people are focused so hard on the individual or individuals they blame that they cannot think of anything else.
That's not productive. Not in any way. It will not change the results. Nor will it help in future elections, which are really the only way to fix the problem.
Who is to blame? Well, we all are in many ways. Not enough people voted for our Presidential candidate. And that led to fewer votes for members of Congress and Senators. We're stuck in a bad situation.
We will not solve that by blaming individuals from the Biden administration. The past is history. We can learn and not repeat, but we cannot change history.
How can we fix the primary problem? Not enough people voted for our candidates. That is why we lost. What can we do to make sure that doesn't happen in 2026 and 2028? That's what we need to be thinking about right now.
It might feel good to blame someone for our loss. But that is a false response that is always ineffective.
