This guy gets it. The democrats failed not because its messaging was poor or because some voters are racist or misogynist or because Kamala was a historically unpopular politician. All of those things are true to some extent, but none of those problems were insurmountable.
The democrat party failed because it doesn't offer real solutions to the genuine problems faced by large coalitions of disenfranchised citizens. Instead, the democrats do what's best for the elite that fund them. And then the democrat machinery gaslights and talks downs to those citizens calling them racist, deplorables, uneducated, stupid, homophobic, white trash, rightwing extremists, religious cultists, etc.
And the democrats do that because their party is beholden to the elites who profit off the global order that has devastated larges swaths of the country's identity, dignity and economic well-being. So the democrats are happy to attack republicans for their proposed solutions to these very real problems, but can't offer any solutions of their own.
Its not just Trump. Republicans won up and down the ticket for good reason.

The Democrats spent all their time on getting the women vote and abortion. They act as if women vote intersectionally in a vacuum, as if families don't exist. Most women who are married and have kids, vote according to their family situation. If their husband is strugging, they vote to help him. If their son is struggling, they vote to help him. Yes, fathers vote to protect their daughters but the Democrats forget that mothers also vote to protect their sons.
Same with Latinos. If you listened to the Democrats, you'd think all Latino were illegal.
