    Kind of burying the lead on that quote:

    The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities

    So trump didn’t try and punish a foreign power that helped him get in, and instead talked to them after the fact. I guarantee he’s talking to netanyahu right now, but no one cares about that. There’s nothing in that quote proving he was coordinating during the election.

    2016 was lost because the democrats are losing the working class because they didnt offer them anything and were just pointing to the horror of trump and hoping it would scare voters to there side. In 2020 Biden was pushing a fairly progressive program with build back better plus people wanted an adult at the wheel to handle covid. Then kamala ran the same campaign as Clinton running on minor iterative improvements that most people won’t see while pointing to the boogie man of trump and hoping that will scare people, and it failed again, even worse this time.

    Democrats need to listen there base and try and win the working class back. Biden did, he opened his doors to Bernie and Warren and gave them a place in the party. He was rewarded for that with record voter turnout. This time we didn’t have a primary and dissent was stifled due to the threat of trump.

    At least that’s my view of it, why do you think we lost?, we can at least say this time it’s not Russian interference.
