There have been repeated clashes between the left and the center of the Democratic Party over the past 50-plus years, especially in the presidential nomination contests of 1968, 1972, 1984, 1992, 2016 and 2020. The post-election debate is now in full flower, with left-wing and centrist Democrats blaming each other for the loss.
The selection of Kamala Harris, a woman of Black and South Asian ancestry as the nominee, might have accentuated the perception of the Democratic Party as more progressive on race and gender and made some voters feel alienated or concerned about the direction of the party.
As my Times colleagues Erica L. Green and Maya King wrote on Nov. 7, in “For Black Women, America Has Revealed to Us Her True Self”:
The worst of what many Black women believed about their country: that it would rather choose a man who was convicted of 34 felonies, has spewed lies and falsehoods, disparaged women and people of color and pledged to use the powers of the federal government to punish his political opponents than send a woman of color to the White House.
The ascendance within the Democratic Party of well-educated white people holding very liberal views has, in fact, pushed the party to the left of the mainstream. This intraparty ideological shift raises another question for 2026 and 2028: Have the forces supporting unpopular progressive policies in the general electorate become strong enough to successfully push back against the calls coming from Democratic pragmatists for centrist retrenchment on such issues as immigration, policing and the promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion?
In a Nov. 15 article, “Trump Broke the Democrats’ Thermostat,” John Burn-Murdoch of The Financial Times wrote:
The data shows Democrats taking a sharp turn leftward on social issues over the past decade. This has...

More cheating!
Hey NYT nutjobs: you can’t. You lost; get over it.
It’s our turn to subjugate you and grind you into dust, so just embrace the suck for a little while.
They need to make louder and more frequent comparisons to Hitler!
Well said.
That’s right.
We let the Black women down.
I feel bad now.
Nice to see the NYT is not going to let up on the race pandering. Full speed ahead, NYT!
And don’t forget Mussolini, the confederates and the Taliban.
Maybe the term "Fellatrix-In-Chief" swirls nicely in the mouths of Erica L. Green and Maya King, like a cold swaller of Chardonnay - but most people had a problem with a mental vision of the back of KamaLOL's head, face down in Willie Brown's lap.
As Candice Owens has shown, Kamala is not black, her bio is a fabrication. Black people know this is true and they resent it when someone lies about their racial credentials. This is a big reason why she lost support in the black community.
Mr. Edsall clearly displays the reliance of the Democrat Party on identity politics and the very reason that America should avoid it. Per Mr. Edsall, Kamala lost because she was a black woman. He offers nothing to support her based on qualification. He ignores the fact that prior to assuming the nomination her approval rating was the lowest in history for any Vice President. He therefore present no basis for her approval ratings significantly jumping based only on the fact that she was assuming the Democrat Party nomination for President. It seems the only element changing was that she was a black woman running for president; identity politics on display.
Carry a tube of Brylcreem around with them all of the time.

“The selection of Kamala Harris, a woman of Black and South Asian ancestry as the nominee”
This is exactly why the dems lost.
1) They selected K. Zero votes/zero following.
2) Her ethnicity is not a qualification.
The majority of voters are not dumb. We saw right through it.

Faith in Al Gore cost Kamala Pennsylvania and Michigan.
If anything, the Rats will double down on their radical agenda, trying to convince people once again that the people who voted for Trump are just racists, misogynists, Nazis, sexists, bigoted, backwards sister-marrying idiots and that THEY are the enlightened ones.
