Not the mindless supporters of the failed agenda, but those who realize that America needs two strong PRO-AMERICA parties, and can learn from the drubbing that Trump just administered.
Ro Khanna is my kind of Democrat. He writes:
1. "
Millions of Americans approve of the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate supposedly wasteful federal spending by any means necessary. That puts my party in a bind. But Democrats must do more than just confront the cuts. We must also break free from a stale, conventional platform.
2. We have to acknowledge what we spectacularly failed to recognize in the last election — that the status quo is broken and Americans are feeling a righteous anger about the real damage that the governing class has done to their lives over the past few decades."
The alternative to Trump cannot be a defense of institutions as they are.

3. Trumism is an actual revolution. He has defeated both establishment parties and media. None of us has ever lived through a baptism ike this.
4. "With the establishment of both parties defeated, we are, as you may have heard, at a fork in the road. Either the country will continue to succumb to a burn-it-all-down political nihilism and disillusionment, or Democrats can use this moment of crisis to reframe the terms of the debate. We must persuade people that transformative government is capable of improving their lives by reversing what many have experienced as decades of stagnation and decline.
5. "about the rise of President Trump — and his elevation of those fixated on dismantling our institutions, such as Russell Vought and Stephen Miller — is that it reflects the deep disdain that many Americans have for politicians and politics. "

Remember this Democrat when you read posts by those Democrats still stuck in the primordial ooze of Harris, Biden, Obama, Clinton.
