Opinion: Democrats have learned nothing from their election loss
For the better part of two years, Democrats told voters that their country was on the precipice of disaster. Winning in November was imperative, party leaders insisted. Failure would bring catastrophe, not only for America’s democratic institutions but for the economy and working-class people as well.
In normal circumstances, a party that fell short of preventing a crisis like that would be expected to engage in real introspection about what went wrong. Leadership changes would be expected. Like Republicans in the aftermath of 1960 or even 2008, the party would radically re-evaluate the decisions that led to this moment.
Not so in this Democratic Party, where long-time leaders are trudging forward as if nothing happened. From former Harris campaign staffers dissociating in the press to Capitol Hill leadership elections that reject even the premise that anything should change, Democrats are choosing to close their eyes to structural problems at the top of their party. Accountability, it seems, is for other people.
That won’t fix anything.
