The article discusses the Democrats' introspection following the loss of the presidential election, particularly after Kamala Harris's defeat. While Republicans criticize California as a failed state, Democrats seem to echo similar sentiments, questioning why they lost significant support from young, Black, and Latino voters. Comments from columnists Anita Chabria and Mark Z. Barabak reflect on the tone of a recent Democratic convention, criticizing the excessive use of profanity aimed at exhibiting passion. They suggest that deep reflection is needed, but resorting to cursing is not the solution to re-establishing party credibility or winning elections.
"Democrats think by dropping a lot of f-bombs they can demonstrate to voters their authenticity and passion. But it seemed kind of stagy and... grew tiresome."
"Democrats are desperate to prove how serious and passionate they are about fixing themselves. However, cursing a blue streak isn’t going to win them back the White House or control of Congress."
