The rest of us need to look at this result with humility. American voters are not always wise, but they are generally sensible, and they have something to teach us. My initial thought is that I have to re-examine my own priors. I'm a moderate. I like it when Democratic candidates run to the center. But I have to confess that Harris did that pretty effectively and it didn’t work. Maybe the Democrats have to embrace a Bernie Sanders-style disruption — something(hat will make people ike me feel uncomfortable.)

Now we have people like David Brooks saying, well, hold up, maybe, just maybe, a Bernie Sanders like movement could have won here. Maybe that's the direction we need to go!
But we know that if we try to go in that direction, legacy media, the Democratic Party machine, and many MSNBC-pilled liberal rank and file folks will tell us to fuck off into the sun.
I am going to go in that direction anyway. Centrists failed. Left populists have work to do
