Everyone has opinion about what happened in last Tuesday's election. McAuliffe was just another Clinton Democrat who didn't motivate the base (true;) a candidate who doubled down on a progressive agenda would have won (maybe;) the racist (and bullshit) attacks on non-existent teaching of Critical Race Theory turned suburban and rural voters away from the Democrats (maybe some, but who knows how much;) the Democrats have a trifecta in Washington and can't get anything done (misses on facts and lumping Joe Manchin and Krystin Sinema in with the "Democratic Party" certainly doesn't help the brand;) and if Manchin and Sinema hadn't been such obstructionists then the bills would have passed and money would be flowing to cities and states to solve real problems (true but money and new benefits take time to settle in enough for us to feel it in our daily lives - but at least the news cycle would have been about success and optimism.)
