The reason we lost is because people didn’t vote

Do you think the dems should learn anything from this or should they do the same thing again next time and pray the apathetic people change on their own?

If dems want to win they have to find a way to motivate those apathetic people instead of just telling them they are stupid.

What dems should learn is that they need to offer something that clearly improves people's lives. Universal healthcare or Medicare for all would be a great position to run on and 16 years ago I thought the dems were going to move in that direction but now it seems they've given up on the idea.
