The Democratic Party

Biden won the 2020 election but the Democratic Party as a whole lost. Their margin in the House was cut and they will probably not take the Senate.

If I was a Republican strategist I'd feel pretty good about capturing the House in 2022, as off year elections almost always go against the party holding the presidency, and winning a trifecta in 2024

The Democratic Party has traditionally looked upon itself as the party of "the little guy." The question that the Democrats need to address is ARE they still for "the little guy" or have they lost their focus? 

 - What good is college loan forgiveness to people who never went to college? 

 - What good is Medicare for All for people who are already on Medicare or have healthcare through their employer or union? 

 - What good are reparations for slavery to people who are white? 

 - What good is a $15 minimum wage to people who are making slightly more than that, or who are on fixed pensions, when the $15 minimum wage may cause inflation and cut into their real purchasing power? 

 - What good is investment in green technology to people who don't have the skills to benefit from such an investment? 

Like the man said, follow the money. 

I'm not saying any of these things are bad. As a matter of fact there are valid arguments as to why most, if not all, of them are good but do they really appeal to people in the working class or who own a small business?
