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.
Even with those only 5 points ahead? Are you fucking kidding me? Is everyone stupid?
Nah, there’s plenty of bigots in there, too. Granted, there is significant overlap.
You had a bunch of people who said “Wait? They’re gonna have a woman be President? Yeah not really about that, things are woke enough as they are.”
So… yeah a bunch of bigoted assholes
