Bernie is a bastard, but I think it's backwards thinking to blame voters rather than candidates. In a nominal democracy, it's the job of the candidates to appeal to people to get votes. If there is any merit to this idea, we must conclude that the failure was the Harris campaign for not generating the confidence needed to vote for her -- which is a very expected outcome when you're running as reactionary a campaign as she did, calling the wall a "good idea" and so on.
Yep. From a systems analyst perspective, if there's a problem with a couple people, it's because they're idiots. If a lot of people are having a problem, it's a systems issue. In this case, the DNC and their shit messaging.
It's like they hired an intern to do their marketing. They had a few funny clap backs on socials but they didn't actually pivot to appeal to their target demographics. Fucking marketing 101.
She was awful in interviews too. The fox interview, even as a supporter of hers, went awful. And then they try to clip it for social media to make it look like she dunked on him over and over.
She didnt answer a single question, showed up late, and left early. I dont understand who that was meant to appeal to?
