In the last 2 months I've seen so many pundits and commentators [View all]

claim they know why Democrats lost and then announce what Democrats need to do that I've come to this conclusion.

They are all filtering their analysis through their own ideological lens and none really have a clue. So people that align with Bernie Sanders are going to say that Democrats need to move left. Those who are in line James Carville are going to Democrats need to be more moderate. Etc, etc etc.

The problem I see with this approach is that it is not focused on on the ground realities. What works in Indiana won't work in California and vice versa. Democrats have to talk to voters and really listen to them instead of pundits and consultants. That's the only way to win.

Anyway that's my rant of the day. Have a good one.
