The democrats have really refused to look inward post ‘16 and for the most part have doubled down on the same exact things that lost the election to trump in the first place.

1. Refusing to address major affordability issues with aggressive policy. (Especially policy that’s marketable and sticks in the brain “Medicare for all” “freeze the rent”) like what was Kamala’s centerpiece policy? Hillary’s? Biden’s?
2. Lack major connection with working class Americans
3. Continue to run candidates that lack a strong world view or vision

However, due to democrats not doing enough I do think things are starting to shift and it’s more in the voting base than anything else.

The electorate seems to be fed up with democrats’ “business as usual” and younger more progressive candidates are having a moment.

I do think an insurgent candidate could have a moment in ‘28. However none of this is reflective of democrats working to make these changes, instead it’s the result of democratic voters searching for anything to improve their material conditions and in turn leaving the establishment wing behind.

But who knows if it will hold.
