There are many reasons why we lost, making sure we don't make the same mistakes again is smart. We should never have lost those states and we can't afford to lose them again.
We need a fifty state strategy but it's stupid to pretend red states are going to turn blue simply because of wishful thinking. It's possible for people to be optimistic and still remain grounded in reality.
Yet if you try to bring up facts you get accused of concern trolling and ignoring certain states.
Some people don't want to discuss our mistakes at all, they want to pretend none were made because that would mean that our candidate was less than perfect and our strategy failed. Thank dog Schumer, Ellison and Perez are realists.
