the democrats did not lose because of "critical theory" or adorno they lost because inflation was high and people were mad about it

As a friendly amendment, "and the media was banging the drum about it relentlessly" something they aren't doing now while inflation is basically the same as the second half of 2024 (and not yet reflecting all tariff, immigration and energy shocks)

They also remembered a check with Trump's name and had 30 years of being told he was good at business

Adorno's ghostwriting all the Beatle's songs causing Lennon to be shot is why Republicans won in 2024

People hate incumbent presidents, generally, something trump and biden both experienced If there was a real none of the above on the ballot, theyd have a dynasty : )

Relatedly, they also lost because Biden fell off a cliff c. 2022 and couldn't mount a sustained vigorous defense to tie inflation to why we didn't go into a recession. Obama won reelection with like 8% unemployment.

Sure...it's the democrats fault that 78 million voters voted because they hate black and brown people.

Bullshit. They lost because more than half the country is racist, xenophobic, selfish, ignorant, and supremacist.

So mad, they chose to elect *checks notes* a felon insurrectionist who openly dismisses the democratic institutions, and who had spent his time promising even higher prices via tariffs. An unserious electorate.

Inflation wasn't high, at least not in the months immediately before the election. They were mad because inflation *had been high for a while 2 years before* and a mix of ignorance and malice in the media and apathy among voters combined to give the impression that it continued until prices fell.

it matters less that people don't understand that fiat money is supposed to inflate, or that it's the rate of change. It matters more that people don't understand that inflation is good for them. They don't think it caused their higher real wages. They think THEY caused it.

So much of these complaints are based on that one interview clip about trans prisoners, and I’m sorry but if your standard for comms is “never have a statement that can be clipped to make you look bad to centrists” you’re just asking pols to never talk

I’m fully in on this being purely media environment and not the substance of comms. If saying weird shit in an interview in 2020 is campaign poison I would like to introduce you to Donald Trump and JD Vance

And between Harris giving that interview & 2024, Jan. 6 happened! But no, voters are clearly politics obsessives who still remember the bitter enmity between Sanders & Buttigieg in the waning days of the 2020 Democratic primary

More than that. They lost because they went on talking like everything was normal when more than half the country has lost contact with, or interest in, reality. Anger was cultivated into bloodlust. And Ds went on talking about the price of eggs

No, @kamalaharris.com lost because her white-supremacist "have we tried appeasing the fascists?" strategy wasted billions to alienate 95 million non-voters who love progressive policies & won zero Republicans. To win, reject fascism and tax the neofeudalists, as @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social did.

they also lost because Biden, out of pure hubris, didn't exit the race in time for a real primary.
