Nationally and locally (here in Georgia), liberals and progressives are starting to slowly come out of their depression caves to assess the damage and figure out who to blame. Georgia Democrats want change in the party, and say they've "never seen a more dysfunctional organization."

I've never been shy in vocalizing my issues with the state party, either; they're difficult to collaborate with, give time to on this show for their candidates and advocates, and access media necessities from them in an era where a response ecosystem to that of the right is lacking and sorely needed.

Meanwhile, frequent show guest Jay Bookman penned his post-electoral thoughts - with some criticisms for the Democratic Party as well - mostly, though, focusing on "we, the people."

He pins white evangelicals, of course; victims of "fear, anger and resentment" as "powerful corrosives."

Then there's MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, who points out the realities of a post-COVID economy were always going to be hard for incumbents (domestically and globally) to overcome.
