“How’s the Democratic Party’s ground game in Pennsylvania?” I asked a friend several weeks before the 2024 presidential election. He replied optimistically that there were far more door knockers this year than in 2022.
It turned out these door knockers were just urging a vote for the Democrats without putting forth a compelling agenda attached to candidate commitments on issues that mean something to people where they live, work, and raise their families. There was no Democratic Party “Compact for the American People.” Then-President Joe Biden visited Pennsylvania, which went Republican, many times, with his most memorable message being that he grew up in Scranton.
…
Their aversion to building their own momentum to answer the basic questions “Whose side are you on?” and “What does the Democratic Party stand for?” remains as pathetic as it was in 2022 and 2024.
Most messed up part is dems will change… they just chase right wing voters more cause they vote.
I voted and encouraged others to do so.
Harris and Clinton bent over backwards to win over the mythical “moderate republicans” and ate shit. Only reason Biden won was because of COVID.
If the democrats can’t be pressured or reasoned with, that’s all the more reason to give up on them.
