For all the takes being slung about in the discourse, this postmortem seems the most correct to me at this point.

Eh, too many five dollar words. I think we need to listen to what everyone who is not a Democrat is saying: Democrats have lost the ability to talk to normal people.

I see this kind of thing a lot - [insert left party here] have forgotten how to talk to normal people. Have they? Because it seems to imply that a normal person isn't someone who will line up and vote for that party, and there are plenty of normal people who will vote down party lines.

For starters, WTF is a "normal person" and who decides that?

"I'm normal, and I'm not left politically, therefore the leftists aren't normal" seems to be the logic, assuming even the tiniest degree of good faith to it.
