13370963, perfect. The left has to win more voters

Not sure how that is complicated/controversial/partying off a Biden win.

Voters had a choice. Not enough chose the movement.

That sucks.

Step back and think about how to win over more voters.


Screaming "revolution" scares older folks who vote. Don't do that. Don't call it that.


Same general platform, different language, different tone, and more welcoming followers is the way to move forward in my opinion.


Complaining about the establishment, Warren, etc is only further alienating folks and hurting the cause.

There were no dirty tricks here. The moderate wing sewed up and voters chose.


Give a broader group of voters something they want.


I'm not saying pander to boomers, but at least don't scare them off. They fucking vote. Obviously.

I think as AOC gets more experienced she'll be fantastic.


I hope other prominent figures on the left are learning lessons too.

And I hope that because I want progressives to win, not lose and rage tweet/post.
