Despite having Joe Biden as the apparent winner of the 2020 presidential election, the Democratic Party has been frustrated since Election Day due to disappointing losses down ballot. Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell of Florida appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday to angrily spew misinformation in the wake of her re-election loss.

In trying to explain why Democrats failed to take back the Senate, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell concluded that it was because of false socialist memes, which is not fair because they were mostly not true.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that the election was, for the most part, "an absolute repudiation of the Democratic party brand." He warns Democrats that if they don't change course away from their left-wing positions, Republicans will have a "huge" year in 2022. He quotes a Dem congresswoman who says that if Dems don't stop talking about "socialism" and "defund the police," they will…

With a week to go before Election Day, the New York Times is playing aggressive defense for the Democrats, suggesting any mention of socialism is a dangerous lie while dismissing predictions and rhetoric by President Trump as “lies.” Democrats are being responsible and issue-oriented (and praised even when attacking their party leadership), while the GOP is fear-mongering.

The smarmy hosts of the fake-news skit "Weekend Update" on NBC's Saturday Night Live made nasty jokes about rooting for "active bioweapon" Donald Trump to die of coronavirus. Their fake debate moderator also asked about Trump's health "out of a simmering rage for his incompetence and a sadistic hope that he is not well."

On Tuesday, NBC’s Today show and ABC’s Good Morning America both worked to portray House Democrats backing impeachment as courageous politicians “putting principle before politics” rather than as partisans trying to appease the far left of their party.

Following Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan’s interview with self-described Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, New York Times columnist and CBS News political analyst Jamelle Bouie dismissed the idea that Sanders wants to radically transform America into a socialist country before delivering a public service announcement on behalf of a “very, very robust welfare state.”

After the media spent weeks hammering Republicans and the White House over the ongoing government shutdown – while claiming Democrats have “no incentive” to compromise – Politico reported on Wednesday that many freshman House Democrats were increasingly “concerned with the party’s strategy” and even “freaking out” over the possibility of a political backlash.
