The problem with the Democratic party is that they do not acknowledge that this election was a self-inflicted wound that could turn into a much more serious problem. They have self-segregated into echo chambers since at least the Nixon years and now they are doubling down on dumb.
Climate change is an acknowledgement that AGW was and is crap because as Poincare demonstrated in the three body problem in the 1800s deterministic is not necessarily predictable. In 1961 Lorenz made the general proof of chaos being the result of deterministic systems always being to some degree unpredictable.
Economic planning as with Obamacare involves more variables than can be modelled. An economy with 100 million actors and 10 million products involves more than 1 quintillion interactions plus knock on effects. (N-1)N for each part of the model and then multiply the sums and that ignores logistics and marketing almost completely.
So, when and if, the Democrats join the 20th century they will still be having major problems. Luckily for them the Rs have more or less backed into a 20th century ideology and still are not upto a level of comprehension that they can offer a coherent and consistent of their positions.
So, what can be expected?
