Hot Take: The Dems actually ran a pretty good campaign
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 7th, 2024 9:52 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, The economy is awful - CNN had a graphic where there was only like 4 counties in America that had wage growth higher than inflation. There's 2 major wars. Immigration has turned so that even NYC and Chicago started complaining about it.
They had 2 options IMO:
1. Nominate some super charismatic Democrat to go out there and sell Democratic policy and excite the base Obama style. Run around on TV and sell Americans on more spending, an open border, and the right for 12 year old kids to get top surgery. The obvious problem with this is that the DNC platform is just out of step with reality.
2. Go with Kamala as a quasi-continuation of Biden (who had the most moderate reputation of the Dems) and position her as a gun wielding, fracking loving, woman who wants to build that wall. When asked about anything remotely related to her actual positions, just say "i'm not worried about transgender kids i'm worried about Donald Trump."
They went with option 2, and realized it was hard to keep up the charade, so they just her do 0 media and just do free concerts and rallies in swing states with celebs.
And they were actually pretty successful. Common wisdom was that Trump had a 2% advantage in the electoral college. So she's really performing 3%ish better in the swing states than nationally.
Obviously it wasn't enough to win given the state of the country and how unimpressive she was, but the campaign strategy was much better than Hillary her didn't campaign in swing states... |

Date: November 7th, 2024 10:04 PM Author: Epistemic Humility Kamala ran an excellent campaign. She performed 3.6 points (!!!) better in the swing states than she did in the non-swing states. In other words, the more voters saw of her campaign the more likely they were to vote for her.

They clearly used the money wisely to mobilize people in the swing states and overcome the general crappiness of Kamala/BIden (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5629865&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310910",#48308421) |

Widely disliked president, world on fire, shit economy, illegal invasion, saddled with a terrible candidate
It was like a perfectly coached game but you have a dogshit quarterback and everything seems to bounce against you for four quarters |

either harris would win (low probability, high payoff) or she'd lose and the dems could get rid of a mediocre DEI candidate and regroup with a real candidate for 2028 |
