Pffft!!! If your idea of "learning" is to copy any of the fascist ideas of trump, then yes, they should NOT learn anything. Did Jews after Hitler go fascist...... Oh wait.

What trump does well is saying things that people want to hear. Obama was good at that as well when he first ran. That is what all good candidates do and it's what the dems should do regardless if they learn it from trump or not

TBH I'd be afraid of them learning anything with headlines telling them to blame Palestine supporters and Minorities.

Local opinion piece:

I read it because of the title, but it's just some shithead that wants them to move further right:
This red wave wasn’t as much about embracing Donald Trump as it was repudiating far-left progressivism.
[...], and then foisted upon us an equally unqualified and unpalatable hard left alternative.
They are already creating the groundwork for sucking more corporate dick.
Holy shit. They really think Harris was "far left"??
Wait, there was nothing progressive about this campaign except for paying a little lip service to legalizing weed.

Reminds me of that joke about how there are only two races: White, and political. It's disheartening to see folks (some here on Lemmy) confusing listening to the concerns of brown-skinned people with leftism. The Arab-Americans in Michigan, for a relevant example, are just people with a range of political opinions like the rest of us.

The only "The Onion" rather than "Not The Onion" part of this is the idea that they would announce it.
I'd say "The Onion" part of this is that the democratic party doesn't need to learn any lessons because it's doing exactly what they want to do. The people who will refuse to learn from this are the people who still put faith in them and the democratic system in general.
Sure democrats would prefer to win but the most important thing to them is making sure that policies to the left of the republican party are never a serious threat to the donors they both share. That's pretty obvious at this point, right?

Oh they learned their lessons:
- blame minorities
- shift further right
Oh they know how to win. They just don't want to. The policy decisions that would lock in Dem control for generations to come run counter to the goals of DNC Services Corp. Because they're a corp.
