Thanks for your input. I suspect that you will be in the majority with that opinion. But my question is not so much which side is right, but rather can the gap between the two factions be bridged? Are you a "no" on that?

Of course the Democratic candidates were vastly superior. I didn't and wouldn't say otherwise. That makes the question even more important. How did we lose? To Trump!! Should we not be looking at that?

Can you describe the racism and misogyny you see in the article? I am not in any way advocating backing down or compromising on either the fight against racism nor the fight against misogyny, by the way.
