Excellent generally but this misses the point that Dems lost all up and down the ballot. They have become the party of drag queen story hour and nothing that Harris could have done overrides that.

Harris was a terrible choice for VP. (Would have been ideal for the Supreme Court.). Had Tammy Duckworth been the VP choice the outcome would have been different.
I agree with you Sharon. The Dem brand has been hurt by the Identarian moralists that are about telling people how racist they are. Get back to being the party of working people. Even Sanders has said as much.
Agree on the bad choice. There was a reason that she lost so badly and we need candidates who know how to win a swing state and that is generally not people from NY, CA, or MA at least since JFK.
The Dems lost the congressional vote by 2.7% worse than the presidency which was lost by 1.5%, It is exactly those positions - crime, immigration, woke culture that are associated with Democrats that hurt us. . It was not that Harris campaigned on the fact that they had record border crossings, but ignoring it as opposed to opposing it, you buy it.
Biden's limiting himself to only picking a black women, in a nutshell, was a lot of what is wrong with the Dems. If there was a strong black women, no problem, but it is this feeling that they have to constantly prove their virtue by being the most woke, that has lead them to be disliked.
The lesser half of the Council of State are Republicans. Those Democrats did not get the kind of money that the upper half got and they lost. It's a shame that they weren't supported the same as Jackson, Hunt, Marshall, and Green were. But we did break the supermajority and kept Allison Riggs on the Supreme Court. The Democrats did something right for sure, although Robinson really helped Josh Stein. Thomas wrote about this recently.

Not in NC. The only “Republican” that won NC is trump and maybe a state auditor or something. Very weird.
