The election wasn't a fluke; it was a repudiation of a Democratic Party that many Americans feel does not represent their interests. To return from the wilderness, Democrats need to reassess who they are.
While a disaster for Democrats, those numbers don’t signal a rejection of progressive policies per se. In Missouri, for instance, 57.6% supported raising the minimum wage to $15, alongside 58.5% voting for Trump.
Voters like clear, high impact progressive policies that matter to them, but they don’t believe that Democrats can deliver. Earning back that trust should be the party's focus.
Harris promised to raise the federal minimum wage to at least $15 an hour and criticized the current $7.25 wage as 'poverty wages,' but it wasn't the centerpiece of her campaign.
