Campaign rhetoric... was Joy, coconuts and unburdened wise? [View all]
Posted in the WAY FORWARD forum
At the time, I didn't like it one bit.
"What can be, unburdened by what has been"
I guarantee you... 70% of the US public has no idea what that means.
IMHO, the campaign in 2024 was run like the electorate was a group of tenured Professors from Harvard or Brown or Yale.
It's not enough to say "our people are brilliant... so talented and intelligent, I want to vote for them because they're who I aspire to be"
Reality check.
Most of the US electorate can't really define Joy or unburdened... and thinks a coconut is a flavor of pie.
The Left was already going to vote for Harris because Trump is demon spawn...
That wasn't enough to win an election.
She had to reach "core America" and didn't.
I hear a lot of people talking about how they loathe "core America" but if we ever want to win another election, we better start courting them.
It's going to take Obama-like intelligence and charisma or Clinton-like charm and communication skills.
