When Democrats Win versus When Republicans Win:

Be the House, Senate, or the presidency, when Democrats Win, the Republican sound machine and corporate media badger Democrats to "Reach out in a spirit of Bipartisanship" (aka. give in to the things we want) and caution Democrats "not to go too far with radical idea."

When Republicans win even by the smallest of margins, the GOP figuratively says, "Hey Fuck You! You lost; get over it." "We have a mandate to do whatever we want." And the corporate media says, "Well elections do have consequences you know"

As an example President Biden accomplished many great things, but pushing for National Healthcare for all Americans would have been deemed too radical. Now, Trump and the Republicans are going for broke with the lunacy of Project 2025 and many are frustrated that there is not a stronger more coordinated effort and messaging by the Democratic Party. We need a younger group of Democratic leadership that will message better and start playing offense.
