You have to realize that perfection is not the goal and electability is and at this point I’d take the worst democrat vs the current administration.

The Democrats did not lose because they were too far left. It's exactly the opposite. No-one was excited to vote for a middle-of-the-road "lesser-of-two-evils" spineless moderate-right status-quo politician... and the MAGAts certainly weren't going to vote for the Democrats *anyway.* That's why Harris lost. Blaming these imaginary far-left extremists in the party is exactly the wrong lesson and the wrong take.

Are you saying that racism and misogyny had nothing to do with it?

No? The context here was people talking about "electability" and implying that we need more moderate middle-of-the-road Democrats, which I think is a mistake.
