Ezra Klein argues that the Democratic Party failed by becoming complacent defenders of the existing political system rather than offering a compelling alternative.

“that sort of turned the Democrats into this party of the institution utional status quo which is not a winning hand to play in politics.”

The Democratic Party failed to win the election because they were out of touch with voters and need to prioritize change rather than defending the status quo.

“It's inexcusable to lose to someone like this. You were quite early saying we cannot run Joe Biden. He's not fit enough. He's not well enough to run again.”
