The post-mortem is still being done but there are real issues that voters had that are important that the DNC address.
The numbers seem to indicate voters simply did not turn out, not that voters changed their vote to Trump.
They are also to blame, yes, but the real issue is that the DNC fails to learn the right lesson from election losses. And this one was a doozy. We'll be lucky if we get another election.
If we do, I can guarantee you we'll have another right of center candidate that smiles and nods at workers rights while getting absolutely smashed by corporate interests.
And we'll be here again, begging people to vote for the better of two candidates because this election is more important than the last. All the while Republicans continue to shit out turd candidates.
It's worth remembering that Trump's popularity with voters allowed him to drag the Trump-hating establishment Republican party kicking and screaming into his orbit, and to eventually bend it to his will. It is possible for the same thing to happen with the Democrats, but no similarly compelling candidate has emerged. It'd have to be someone the rank and file voters can unify behind, in a way that can't be ignored by the donor class that runs the party.
