Half the country lost a very close election to a grifting sociopath who aims to overthrow the Constitution for his own gain. The natural response from the losing half is to throw blame around widely. In particular, some Democrats do what Democrats always do, which is insist if only we could downplay the needs of the non-white, non-male, non-gender standard fraction of our coalition, every thing would have been fine. It's always the same bullshit.

When we remember we need each other, we have laid the basis for coming back and winning.
