Democratic strategists keep refusing to learn the lesson that presidential elections are about driving turnout. Centrist swing voters are a red herring and the way to win is to enthuse the base. Her positions failed to enthuse the base and so they were bad. It's much easier for the right to enthuse the base because their base is morons who are going to project whatever they believe onto the candidate as long as they dog whistle enough.

Trump is horrible and wrong, but he had a solid message. I could tell you what he's about in 5 minutes without having to think about it.

What could you say about Harris besides "she isn't Trump"? She wants an opportunity economy? What is that? How would it work? Why was she even running?

Refusing to wat?? Driving voter turnout was probably the central theme of the whole Harris campaign. Maybe not in enough memes, I dunno.

Maybe if you get enough celebrities to endorse you, that'll drive turnout. Oh, and the Cheneys. Because everybody loves them.
