Democrats need to understand being relatable is more important than being right

When you look at the breadth of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, it’s impossible to pin Democratic losses on just one or two things. This is not a situation where the outcome would have been different if President Biden had done X or Vice President Kamala Harris had done Y.
In fact, had both Biden and Harris done everything “right,” Trump likely still would have won. The culprit for the Democratic Party’s sweeping losses is bigger than any one particular candidate.
In 2016, I left the Republican Party and became a Democrat. In many ways, I feel as if the GOP left me rather than the other way around.
But over the eight years since, I’ve often observed that Democrats approach elections — and communicating with voters — through a lens of how they think the world should be, rather than meeting them in the world as it actually is.

The Demonicrats are the antithesis of being right. and Demonicrats are only relatable to the demon-possessed and to traitors.

"How they think the world should be" is no where near "right".
