    That’s part of why Harris polled so low. They had so many angles of attack that they tried to go with all of them instead of focusing on one or two serious differences and biting into it. The campaign looked unfocused and superficial.

    Affordability is what Dems need to focus on in 28’ and they need to start that messaging now. Drop the IdPol talk, it’s not working. Things are going to get worse for people’s pocketbook, MAGA is going to say it’s from the Dems in Congress/Govorners/etc. and the Democratic Party needs a counter to that.

      Harris didn’t poll low though. And polls are meaningless anyway.

        I mean the election polling. Where she underperformed worse than most people thought, which exit polls showed her biggest criticisms came from being confused by her policies.

          Dems weren’t confused. A portion of them didnt feel she represented what they wanted, so they stayed home.

          I’m no high paid election strategist, but maybe solely chasing donors and republicans while ignoring the base is not the way for a dem to win an election?

          Maybe running as a dem on a platform of continuing a genocide has some consequences?

          I dunno. Who can possibly figure it out, right. Without reliable “polling” we simply can never understand what happened.

          Got a source that “confusion” from having too many positions was the source of criticisms? Because I’ve seen other polls and they all had pretty specific reasons that weren’t about messaging.
