And she'll try to cater to the centrist voter just like last time, and lose just like last time too.
"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again, expecting to change" ~ Vaas Montenegro
C’mon don’t censor out him swearing! It’s integral to Vaas’ character!
Uncensored version:
“Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy.”
She ignored the centrist voter and went straight to moderate/Bush Republicans
She tried to play towards too many people all at once really. Trump wasn’t committing to anything as he was posturing that he could be either way on an issue, and I think Harris was trying a more toned down version of that. Her bet was that swing state voters were more center or right leaning, but really she almost cemented them being that way with her middle ground approach.
Her actual policy positions were reasonable and passable on their own, but she didn’t bake any risk into her platform. She didn’t try to promise more progressive legislation, which almost assuredly would have helped her and the other Democratic Senators/House members to win their elections.
Exactly. I fully agree.
"centrist" is so far right the word has no meaning.
She won't make it out of the primaries.
She didn't even poll well in her home state of California last time she tried to win, she won't poll well. Remember how she clapped back at Biden's racist polices and said it personally affected her as a child?
~~Remember how said she it was a debate and was willing to look the other way when he picked her as VP?~~
Sonos everyone asking for the Epstein files release insane?
