I think they will upend neo-liberalism (libertarian economics) soon, but their rationalist solutions may leave out much of the human element, and restraint toward enemies could be lacking as the 4T climaxes.
The blame for the failure of the Democrats lies mainly with the people who vote Republican. There's no way to sugarcoat it. They fell for the deception of neo-liberalism. The people now wake up, or enter permanent sleep. It's our choice. Democrats have made mistakes, and lots of lousy Democratic nominees have been put up. Still, nothing can ever justify or excuse voting for any Republican in our era. Absolutely nothing. If people vote Republican, the responsibility for the problems of our country and our time rest upon themselves. They should know better; it's that simple.
Eric, the reason the Dems lost is clear: the offered nothing. You can't beat something with nothing, even something as cockeyed and half-baked as the 2016 GOP freak show.
Don't blame the voters. Blame the losers. They had all the advantages Trump lacked: vast amounts of money, GOTV operations and every flavor of expert, and they still managed to lose. They simply sucked.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
