The party's activist base is obsessed with Trump to the point of insanity. We hear all this talk of election denialism — it is almost as if they cannot accept that they won the 2020 election, freddoso writes
Former President Barack Obama recently pointed out that Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot with their obsession with Donald Trump and the various legal questions surrounding him. They have deluded themselves, as a party, into believing that the rest of the world is as obsessed as they are with Trump, whatever legal battles he faces, and the Jan. 6 committee. In reality, nobody cares about any of this stuff. At all.
Obama is completely right. If Democrats don't listen to him, they are going to be slaughtered in the coming midterm elections.Perhaps the most amazing illustration of this is the recent poll showing that New York Attorney General Letitia James could actually lose her reelection battle — mostly because of this exact problem. She is completely out of touch with New Yorkers and completely Trump-obsessed in her work.
This is where the Democratic Party finds itself now. The party's activist base is obsessed with Trump to the point of insanity. They cannot give him up, two years after he left office. We hear all this talk of election denialism — it is almost as if they cannot accept that they won the 2020 election.
