The Harris campaign dropped that after the first month, even though it seemed to be the only thing that got under Trump and Vance's skin.
They got Geoff Garin, former Clinton campaign co-chief strategist, who told them to drop "We're not going back" - not forward looking enough (they didn't) and drop "weird" - too negative (they did).
Wow that makes so much sense and now I know who to be mad at. Kamala had so much steam until shortly after announcing Walz and then I just felt like they really fell into the background. And trump is never truly in jist the background, he makes the media too much money
I think there's plenty of people to be mad at, more than enough blame to go around.
Biden could have chosen to be the transitionary president he "signaled" that he'd be by stepping out of the race 6-12 months earlier, and allowing for a full primary season for democrats to rally around a candidate and a platform.
The Harris campaign could have rejected the failed 2016 strategy of courting moderate republican at the expense of blue collar democrats, rather than champion the Cheney family endorsement, in spite internal protests.
I'm not willing to scapegoat just one person for this loss, this was the whole damn team. The DNC needs to realize that people vote when they're excited to vote. That whether they're door knocking or just talking to their friends, the base is going to get those low propensity voters out if they're bragging about some great thing democrats will do. And it's a lot easier when that thing is healthcare or amnesty (Obama), rather than small business tax cuts and a republican bill on the border.
