Neolibs cope when article suggesting that blue states should probably fix their problems if they want to win

I really don't see how Democrats can "fix blue states" without clashing with all their special interests. The unifying theme in the modern Democratic Party seems to be economic illiteracy. Whether it's unions, environmentalism/NIMBYism or urbanists/degrowthers the harder they push their policies the more they raise the cost of living and then political power and population shift to the Sun Belt. It's a dire situation and I don't see what could cause it to change.

Losing a few more elections ought to do it. And we're doing our level best to achieve that.
