The Dems will never figure this out until they figure out why Trump won, and they'll never figure that out until they admit that he won. Which they haven't done yet even five six months into the first Trump administration.

Largely these are ideologues squabbling over posturing, as if posturing is all there is to politics. Eight years of past is a giant anchor that they don't even recognize as being chained to their collective ankle. They will never admit that foreign policy (especially in the Middle East) under 0bama has been harmful, never admit that 0bamacare has hurt the working class, never admit that environmental policies have hurt labor, never admit that racism and misandry have hurt their party. And if they won't admit it they won't understand where the votes went.

In short, the Democrats are starting to realize what their political party has become: they are now effectively the denizens of the fictional capital of Panem from the Hunger Games novel trilogy. And that's a comparison they certainly don't want!
