For nine years, Democrats abandoned all else to focus on one thing: keeping Donald Trump out of office. In the process, they sidelined working-class concerns, lost crucial voters, and still failed — not once, but twice — to accomplish their singular goal.
A politician has exactly one job, and that’s to convince people to vote for them. In a perfect world they would do that by having a solid policy and a strong track record. In this less perfect world it mostly comes down to their campaign promises. When a politician loses an election, assuming no election fraud (and setting aside the real issues of gerrymandering and the problems with first past the post) that is entirely the fault of that politician. It is not the voters fault. It’s the politicians job to convince the voters nobody else’s.
I disagree, the main job is to form a POLICY! As in a policy that is attractive and will engage people through the potential to improve society.
Democrats completely failed to do that, it was not the salesmanship, although that was pretty bad too, but the real problem was the “product”.
Harris made an attempt to inspire, and I admit I thought she did pretty well. But as the saying goes, it was too little too late.
