term, if we still have a Democracy, whom ever is the Dem nominee will be our next POTUS. Much like the situation with "W" Bush.

I don't think we are "out of touch" with the American voter at all. I think there are a lot of people who live from paycheck to paycheck in America and are resentful, so they decided to go against the Dems who hold the current WH.

I personally think Democratic platform is an inclusive platform that celebrate diversity and inclusion. But the pandemic caused such a disruption and someone had to take the blame.

I totally reject the idea that we (DEMS) do not represent the best of America - the choice was easy.

We failed an "open book test" all the facts were obvious.
