The Postmortem Continues

The real postmortem they need is to figure out how to tack to the center and govern for the benefit of all Americans instead of obsessing over "owning the libs." The GOP's loss is not a matter of voting machination but a lack of palatable (or even just coherent) policies.

This.
As I said in another forum thread, if the Republic Party continues to blame everyone but themself for the current election and continues to live in the past, they are doomed to repeat their mistakes.

Lady, it's not the Republic Party.
And their opposition continually tries to move the center ever Leftward, to socialism and what I think is the destruction of the country.

Sorry, I disagree. I think that this election will move the Republics back towards the center. To me, it is obvious that the US public (as a whole) did not like the extreme positions taken by some of the candidates put up by the party.
The same holds true with the Democrat Party. If it (continues to) move to the extreme left, the public will reject it and the party will have to move back more towards the center.
Many of the non-local elections come down to the 30-40% of people in the middle.
In very general terms, 35% will vote for the party, regardless of who the candidate is, just because they have an R or a D by their name. It is the remaining 30-40% who will say, "hmm, this candidate from this party is too much to this side. I cant support him." Next election, they may say the same thing about the other party.
From a paper I have read, this middle % of voters is currently the US suburban voter. Rural areas trend R, cities trend D. The suburbs and semi-rural areas are the "swing" voters.

Lady, ain't no such things as "the Republics". I place that in the same silly category as the conjured word "redd". Individual idiosyncratic foolishness by people who should know better.

And...The GOP got 5,000,000 more votes than the Democrats this last Congressional election. They did fairly well across most demographics, but they came up short when looking at women under 35, especially single moms.
Now, that poses some interesting questions...Did abortion trump economics among that age group? Did welfare, food stamps, government programs, etc., play a defining role? Did Biden's loan forgiveness play a role? Did these women vote their ass over their pocketbook?
And many other possible reasons may exist, but that's why people do postmortems, to answer questions...
