Democrats lost this election because Americans will rather slit their own throat than vote for a person who is both non-white and not a man. If there will be a democracy later, they will run another boring old white dude and win. The first woman president in US will be one of those guns-babies-jesus bimbos from the right.
Progressives of any kind will continue to bicker with each other, demand a perfect candidate, refuse to vote, refuse to organise, and ultimately not matter.
