Comment Comment by lesuorac Rebooting the D party is unnecessary.Losing only by 1.5% in an election where globally nearly every _incumbent_ lost is pretty good.In the UK, the incumbents lost 20% of their seats [1]. The democrats lost 2 seats in the senate [2] and _gained_ 2 seats in the house [3].Making drastic changes to a party because you narrowly lost an election with a candidate that never won a primary is dumb.[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_Kingdom_general_el...[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_Senate_elec...[3]: (idk how it's 2 since 215-214 = 1). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_House_of_Re... parent lesuorac 1 year ago
