Three weeks into her presidential run was the first time the Biden campaign’s pollsters — now hers — held a deep-dive call with Kamala Harris’ inner circle to discuss what she’s been saying on the stump.
Over the line came a lot of praise, but also some suggested tweaks. First, said veteran Democratic numbers man Geoff Garin, summarizing their analysis, stop saying, “We’re not going back.” It wasn’t focused enough on the future, he argued. Second, lay off all the “weird” talk — too negative.
Yes, stop using the two approaches that has been most effective. Absolute genius. I can’t for the life of me see why the Dems have a reputation of shooting themselves in the foot.
EDIT: Thankfully Kamala trusted her instincts and has had the good sense to ignore said advice so far
Look around you man. They’re fascists. Don’t listen to this fucking guy.
Even aside from being fascists they’re just fucking weird. Going around with cum jars with JD Vance’s name on it? What the hell?
They’ve always been like this, the Democrats (and media) have just been ignoring it because it would be “impolite” to point out. It’s so nice to hear that changing, even a little bit.
What we need is more campaigning with this energy. That’s what real negative looks like!
