A cursory preview of last night's election results and today's headlines suggests to me that the Democratic candidates counted on people hating Trump more than they provided reasons for people to like them. With Trump himself not on the ballot, that proved to be a fatal mistake. If Trump is on the ballot in 2024, anti-Trump voter turnout may again be energized. But that did not happen last night.
Will the Democratic party as a whole learn a lesson from this and make a course correction to better connect its candidates and elected officials with the people? At present, they provide little reason for this independent voter to believe they will.
