Our problem was not Kamala or her message. She performed and delivered as perfect as we could have asked any candidate.
We cant do an autopsy looking for signs of poison when there’s obvious bullet wounds.
1.) Joe Biden: He got out too late. I love him and I’m beyond thankful for him. But we pulled a Hail Mary pass and are surprised it didn’t work.
2.) Jaimie Harrison has got to go. Chuck Schumer needs to go. We need new leaders and a new image. We shouldn’t be fighting for margins. Our policies are popular. It’s our sales team. They suck. It’s unacceptable to me that Joe Biden was passing one thing after another and there was no support or messaging from democrats. Our victory laps were pathetic.
I want Harrison gone a replaced by: Pete Buttigieg, Mitch Landrieu, Barrack Obama and our leader needs to train hundreds of other surrogates. At this point to me the fact that we aren’t at a veto proof majority is unacceptable.
3.) The American people are pretty dumb, but with the right message we could have gotten ahead of inflation and laid responsibility on Trump.
4.) Kamala was hidden in the background for 4 years. People didn’t know her very well. And with the late start and rush to the Convention if felt more like a Coronation to people. She was a historic candidate and maybe enough people didn’t believe she earned the nomination. Idk if they would have cared if it was a white man, but for minorities it’s important that everything is fair. 🙄
5.) Even with all that… I’m not convinced that the election itself was fair. I’m not going down any rabbit holes, not wasting my time. I just have a weird feeling. Trump didn’t even seem to be trying. He was truly just flexing his flab at the end. Her rallies were way different than his and his were so different from 2016. I don’t know a single person that didn’t vote and the swing voters in my life that went for Trump in 2016, went for Biden in 2020 and all voted for Kamala. All. I didn’t see anyone go back to him.
