"It wasn't supposed to happen this way, with the Democrats relying on wishful thinking and vague threats to fulfill their biggest campaign promises. Didn't Joe Biden win the Presidency with a 7 million vote popular majority? Didn't Democrats win both houses of Congress? If there's anything more unnerving and disheartening than the Republican Party's shredding of core democratic and republican principles over the past several years, it's how so many of the Democrats' attempts to fight back are grounded in delusion or futility."
Jeff Greenfield at Politico has advice for Democrats.
And Ruy Teixeira at The Liberal Patriot writes that social democracy "is a longer-term project that will require more reforms, more successful elections and broader majorities than the Democrats currently command."
