Not a popular opinion, judging by the comments here, but I maintain my view that these comments from officials are a waste of time and counter-productive. All his comments (and similar from other officials) does is create infighting in the party.

Everyone and their dog is going to pop up and say that we need to change our policies to better align with *their* policies. Magically, agreeing with them is the one secret to winning elections — unfortunately, that magic permeates across the entire ideological spectrum, as everyone from the most centrist to the most progressive democrats, and all in between, are of this view.
Fighting over Moulton's or Sanders' or anyone else's comments is a waste of our time. It's a waste of their time to make the comment in the first place! There's no magical policy or ideological change that would have made Harris president with a trifecta. This was the most policy-bereft election of my entire life.
Agreed, it's all so very pointless. What did Republicans need to do to get back in after Obama's re-election? What did we have to do after Bush's? Why does anyone think we need to argue social issues to have a chance to win in 2028? Trump didn't do anything to fix his losing 2020 coalition, he just ran again and said things were better under him and worse now. But no, some Dems want to talk about women's sports now...the only thing we need to do is wait for people to get mad at Trump again, and run on broadly popular things that will address what people are mad about, and improve their lives.
I think you pointing out Moulton and Sander’s says everything about the political discourse the left is having. Both sides of our party are saying the same thing yet blaming each other for it.
What’s really dumb is we’re all focusing on why Dems lost instead of why Trump won. I think that’s the key here. We should be bigger assholes who are more forceful in getting our agenda done. Then we’d have more results to sell.
