There's a lot of discussion around the loss of the election and whether or not the Democratic party will learn any lessons from this decisive loss. They won't.

The democrat faction of the corporate party only exists to derail and co-opt any actual progressive movements or ideas and channel that energy into pointless electoral ism. The system is working as designed, why change?
Democrats exist to occupy the left side of the political arena and prevent any actual leftist parties from gaining traction, and to normalize liberalism as the leftmost acceptable political stance in US politics. As far as their donors are concerned, this election was a huge success, and there's nothing they need to change.
Yes, regardless of if they win or lose, capitalism is maintained. Winning elections was never the point. That's why they will never court left wing voters, even if they know full well trying to swing the mythical "moderate" republican will never work.
Idk how to word this properly, but the "they will/won't learn from this" argument is flawed on its face imo as it takes for granted that the Democratic parties primary mission is in any way aligned with ours to start with. It's not.
The lesson they will learn is the same one they learn every election, what they're doing works.
The Democratic party would rather lose to Republicans than give anything to leftists because they agree with Republicans policies and disagree with leftists policies.
Every year that they keep leftism at bay, it's a successful year.

I thought about coming back to specify that they had gotten that right but I was lazy and figured there was no real reason to.
Instead I learned how to post
The lesson they will learn is to throw token minorities like trans people to the dogs
Don’t count on someone learning something if their paycheck requires them not to.
