Why loosing doesn’t wise up the party?

We are less than a week after the Election night on November 5, 2024.

Results were unexpected. And the reaction of democratic party on election results seems inadequate.

Here are 3 challenges that Democratic majority encountered, but these became obvious just now, after the elections:

–01– Voters are deeply entrenched in their perceptions. There are many partizan information beacons that are also split by age and by sex.

–02– It is very hard to reach people beyond your supporters because people are watching and listening to a new assortment of sources. There is no leading sources in information like CNN or Evening News in the past.

–03– It is very hard to develop a message if there is nothing interesting to say.

 

As an entrenched conservative vote, I was sure that being a woman candidate will be totally enough to win the elections, and a lot of new voters will come out just to vote for this new reality. I did not know about Trump participation in popular podcasts, about his strategies to reach new voters.  The only knowledge that seeped through the tight filter was the quitting of Biden and nomination of Harris without any procedure.  Being in 67% democratic Massachusetts I did not see any new voter for Trump and I was sure that enthusiasm for Trump is vanning in the 8 years since 2016, and new young enthusiasm for Harris if building.

Now, after the elections, instead of thinking and searching what Democrats done wrong, it is much more productive to look at that Republicans done write. 

–01– Carry your clear, authentic message using controversial provocative wording:
 – Immigration crisis – even your pets are in jeopardy! Democrats Mistake: they responded to the words, instead of developing their own position on the crisis
 – Inflation – no message from either side. It appears neither side knew about the voters’ memory.
 – War and peace – clear and aggressive message from Trump, anemic response from Harris
 – Memorable slogans – no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security – Wow!

–02– Distance from inconvenient topics – let the states decide on abortions

On the other side democratic party did not have any response on what they are planning to do with the uncontrolled flow of illegals.  It was too much of an inconvenient topic for their sensitive ears. They choose a silent response and that was a sign of weakness.
