Democrats REALLY need to get this figured out!

I don't like the D's any more than I like the R's, which is not much at all, so please take this as coming from a disinterested space. Hillary was a bad candidate in large part because she had been active in government for a couple of decades and under assault from the R's the whole time so she had a ton of baggage. Bernie and Trump had no track record ergo no negative track record. Bernie also got her to shift left somewhat.

I think it's important for D's to differentiate a poor candidate from a poor platform and not to attribute the whole thing to the candidate. I expect what the D's will do coming out of this is to shift left and that is not a winning place to be unless the R's screw up royally. There are not enough states that will tolerate anything left of center-left.
