All I know is that electoralism alone isn't enough. Maybe mass sustained protests with a charasmatic leader or something like that could help, but we need to fundamentally change the mindset of the electorate before progressive candidates can reliably win on a national level without voters freaking out and defaulting to the "safe" option.

I could quibble on some of the details, but I think the general thrust is correct. We had the lead for a hot moment, but couldn't retain it against the might of the establishment and team sports thinking. Progressives beed a more solid base to stand on, and that means more true progressives in whatever seats we can find. Fall back for a bit, build a stronger coalition, and come back with a different tack.
