Summary

In the 2024 election, Democrats excelled with highly engaged voters but lost ground with less-engaged voters, particularly younger, working-class, and non-college-educated individuals.

Vice President Kamala Harris won among voters who closely follow politics by 5 points but trailed Donald Trump by 14 points among less-engaged voters.

Democratic strategists highlighted failures in outreach, reliance on narrow data models, and ineffective messaging.

Critics noted the party’s brand is often defined by extreme voices, while Republicans capitalized on dissatisfaction with the economy and national direction, resonating with everyday frustrations.

    The Democratic party could not even prosecute a guy who tried to murder Congress.

    They could. They chose not to.

      At this point I consider it amaizng that Biden didn’t make a big show of straight up pardoning him to “let the nation heal”

      We’ve got to leave this “We go high, they go low” bullshit back in the Obama days

      It makes one wonder if there really was a plot to murder Congress or if, perhaps, the Democrats were engaged in hyperbole.
