You do that
I keep reading articles that flirt with awareness of where the Dem party went wrong, only to draw a laughable conclusion about the cure.
At least they're trying to be constructive. You should read the opinion pieces and letters-to-the-editor in the Asheville papers. I'd post some links but I feel like Asheville has suffered so much lately from the hurricane, the election must feel like being kicked while you're down. I wouldn't want to be guilty of mockery at such a time.
