Good article. I completely agree. You can't have creative destruction without a little destruction. Too much hand-wringing going on.

Agree. But I think people are fed up with most Congressional Dems, especially leadership. IMHO the DNC really needs to invest in building infrastructure in places that have trended red but can be flippable. Stacey Abrams has done a fantastic job of this in GA. Many places have zero Dem investment.

These areas have voted red for so long the party chose not to spend money there, so when a viable Dem came along they had to use their limited campaign resources to rebuild from scratch. The party has to be open to new ideas and new strategies because the old way of doing things no longer works.
