In a Former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), my former congressional colleague, recently offered advice for Democrats’ post-election blues. He suggested that first we stop feeding the “end of democracy woes”; second, that we “embrace the suck”; and third, understand voter anxiety in a time of change.
I have a more concrete list.

A narrower Senate GOP majority would have put a lot of power in the hands of Republican moderates who didn't support Trump, namely Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Main...
