these old Democrats need go sit down someplace and let the young folk have the keys. Their ideas are more 21st century driven.

And no, Dems did not fail to reach more people, it was the other way around. Trump got just a few more votes, and still would had lost against Biden's 2020 numbers.

It's the lazy Americans, that didn't show up, who's the problem.
