Not too surprisingly, the author appears to think that the Georgia results indicate that the Dems should move further left. Napoleon counsels us, “Never interfere with your enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself.”
I have yet to see a Vox article where the solution to any problem faced by the Dems is to go Further to the left. As you said, so far they have only destroyed themselves even more.

Indeed. On reedit tonight I was harvesting liberal tears and mining salt and of out of the probably 1000+ comments I read only one had a reasonable suggestion of connecting with the white middle and working class to start winning again. That person got -25 downvotes. Every other comment was rage at Georgia, rationalization about the loss, or calls to go further left.
Ossoff’s mistake was starting out honest. He started with the hate Trump, pro-Sanders kind of stuff and then modified his positions when that didn’t work. He got enough people to overlook his initial stances to make a respectable showing.
If Demonrats run in suburban congressional races as Bernie Sanders clones, even in some otherwise liberal places they will lose.
If I were the republicans and I saw this happening I’d be tempted to run some RINO or semi-RINO candidates against several demonrat hard leftist. This is a place where social moderates or conservatives who are willing to (lie and)run as moderates might be preferable. Tie all demonrats to the hard left. If their candidates distance themselves from the hardline the demonrat national committee will cut their funding off. If they run like Bernie they’ll lose.
Example of a lying position: A person that that believes that abortion should only be done to save the live of the mother (Against better than 99% of all abortions) has in the past often ben called pro-life. Run as pro-abortion and make demonrats defend the more gruesome position. There are several positions that could be done this way.
Better yet. File and run as a democrat. win the election and then change parties. This might be the only plan that would work in California
Destroy the demonrats as a party. Then go RINO hunting.
