Republican endorsements, running to the right on foreign policy, an unambitious agenda of incremental change less important than how bad the other guy is. Where have we seen this before?
I don’t know why this is being downvoted. There seems to be a wierd group think around that criticising the Democrat campaign means you support Trump or something?
The article is well written and it’s certainly not pro Trump. Instead it’s taking a position that the campaign is making misteps that Clinton also made, which might let Trump win.
It opens with a very good point - Democrats seem to believe they ran a good campaign in 2016 and should have won. There seems to be a lack of introspection even now about why they lost and what they should be doing to win over voters.
I think the Harris campaign is better than the 2016 campaign but I do agree there are some worrying elements. A clear one is the uninspired and vague policies - the campaign is running mostly on personality and the idea that Trump is dangerous. That did not work for Clinton, although Harris certain ly has much more personality and likability. It is a risky strategy to retry.
My worry is that they saw the big victory Labour had in the UK and are drawing the wrong conclusions. Labour won because the Incumbent Tories were very unpopular, and they so were very cautious about policies - they kept their mouth shut and let the Tories implode. But that has been tried with Trump before and he is not the incumbent. Also Labour are not popular here - they have not managed to break through, they have merely benefited from the Tories collapse in our first past the post system. Trump has not collapsed.
If they’re emulating a UK strategy of letting Trump lose rather than actively trying to win then ti’s very dangerous and risky. We have a parliamentary democracy which does not transfer to the electoral college voting system. They should not base anything around UK labours success. It’s a mirage.
Idk about this guy specifically, but there is at least one well known shill account trying to demoralize democrats and leftists to depress the vote. Ya can’t blame people for being touchy about posts that seem to be part of the pattern, even if the dems suck.

It’s being down voted because OP is a known bad faith actor.
