Donald Trump has 267 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House and is leading in key races left to be called, including Michigan and Wisconsin.
Unfortunately they chose not to learn during the past 8 years.
They repeated most of the errors they did in 2016, while Trump just did Trump again. That is also why i say the blame lies with the party leaders. This was preventable with setting the right priorities.
Unsympathetic candidate from the depths of the establishment.
Focusing on virtue signaling “how can you not want a women? And now she is asian and black too!” instead of real life improvements for the affected demographics. Especially after 8 years of Obama have shown that a black president doesn’t mean much in that regard.
Focusing on who they are not, instead of focusing who they are.
Not opening up for a full primary, instead pushing the establishment candidate through.
Not addressing peoples economic concerns and offering a progressive solution for that, instead sucking up to the billionaire donors
Having a candidate that is currently involved in a war/genocide or advocating for more of it (Hillary)
Establishing a culture of looking down on “stupid” or “backwards” rural and rust belt voters
Sending contradictory in or mixed messages on various issues, depending on who they address/what the latest poll said to be important
Sending a message of a sure election in their bubbles, demotivating some of their usual voters.
Focusing on endorsements by high profile celebrities, further giving the image of a party of elites, rather than for the normal people.
Those were the bunch that came to my mind and what i remember seeing in various election streams.
You’re getting down votes because the truth hurts. People in the echo chamber don’t want to hear anything except “Trump bad”.
To sum up your comment succinctly it can simply be said that the democratic party failed to relate with and engage the electorate, something that Trump did successfully.

So the exact same things the Republicans did
