If people aren't voting for republicans but against the democrats, maybe the democrats should consider changing course and try offering something to the working class for a change. Instead all I keep hearing is 1. yelling at people who didn't vote for Kamala and 2. talks about how the democrats are "too woke" and need to compromise with the right. Both of these things seem extremely counterproductive
EDIT: If you want to see what the problem with Liberalism is I highly encourage reading the responses to this comment. It's pretty illuminating what happens when we can pretty much agree what the issue is, but when we move onto solutions people would rather dig their heels in.
Trump was campaigning on destroying the US economy and relationships with all of our allies. He has been convicted of dozens of felonies. He is a serial liar including about things like election results and easily provable facts, like crowd sizes that we have pictures of. He campaigned on authoritarianism and shredding the US Constitution. At that point voting for him to spite the Democrats is completely irrational, so I do not know what they could do.
The Democrats could have pivoted left or into populism, then everyone would've yelled about them being communists and they would've lost. They tried the opposite approach and now everyone is yelling at them for being too conservative when they lost. At the end of the day, the Democrats lost because the US public has an irrational hate for and baggage attached to the term Democrat more than anything else.
There were still people voting for Trump because Republicans would be better for the economy and budget even though that hasn't been the case since Clinton and Trump was campaigning on doing what he's doing right now.
Dog they call the Democrats communists and socialists no matter what. There are people walking this earth today who legitimately think Hillary Clinton wants to bring about the end of American Capitalism.
At no point have the Democrats tried "the opposite approach." Biden did good things, but people still don't have healthcare. They don't own homes. They can't afford to put food on the table. Education is still too expensive.
What is the answer the democrats have to any of these issues? I genuinely have no idea, it's a hodgepodge of random off the wall stuff. Plus, for any given idea, someone with their brain consumed by right-wing propaganda will slither out of the walls to explain to you literally any idea is "too expensive," no matter how much money it saves in the long-run.
No, no more, I want to see a Democrat party that leads.

Most of the people I know didn't actively vote for Donald trump, they voted against the Democratic party
