Could the results that you list in your summary possibly surprise anyone?
I suggest a new poll, a very small one. News organizations, Reuters or others, could poll the leaders of the Democratic National Committee, read off each of your three sentences, and ask them if they are shocked by any of it, if they were totally surprised, and ask them what they think should be done.
Trump is a catastrophe. My country has become a sick joke. That's obvious, but so far not enough. We need a vibrant Democratic Party.
I agree with you.
However, the primary "culprit" for this situation is always identified to be 'The MAGA Voter' by influencers & pundits. A similar sentiment can be observed within this thread too. "It's the idiot MAGA voter, stupid!" is an oft-repeated observation here.
As long as YOU the Dem voters do not call out the ineptitude of your own Party Leadership, these leaders do not need to restructure or reformulate goals in order to win your votes. To them, your votes are already in the bag. Their attention is entirely on the Billionaire class who feed them the $$$s needed to win.
