Democrats Face Introspection After Historic Defeat

TL;DR Summary
In the aftermath of the Democrats' significant losses in the 2024 elections, party elites are deflecting blame onto external factors and minority groups rather than acknowledging their own strategic failures. Despite Kamala Harris's campaign facing challenges like post-pandemic economic issues, the narrative pushed by Democratic leaders and media focuses on blaming powerless groups such as transgender people and immigrants. This blame-shifting avoids addressing the party's lack of a coherent vision for working-class Americans and the influence of powerful consultants and donors on campaign strategies.
