From Dawn to Dusk



Post-election commentary has largely devolved into a circular firing squad aimed at various Democratic subgroups while ignoring the elephant in the room. I think the main question we should be asking is not “What did we do wrong?” so much as “How did something this depraved happen?” I found myself agreeing a lot with this New Republic article, which makes the case for the overwhelming dominance of right-wing media and how it sets the agenda for the national conversation. While Democrats have not always been great about messaging (though they made a pretty good effort this election cycle), it’s not like any improved messaging is going to be heard by a majority of Americans at this point.
