This kind of content always works best with media the target demographic have never seen; that way you can replace the actual message with whatever causes the most outrage

Infrequent voters! Both genders! Every race except white! Every age demographic except 65+! Harris lost ground with essentially everyone except "educated white woman", and you think there's no need to investigate? How can you have such a blasé attitude towards winning?

Most voters don't vote strategically, but I certainly expect the party to construct policies strategically. What's frustrating is leftists are just one of many groups Harris hemorrhaged, and centrists have no viable explanation but "it's the voters who are wrong".

I spent the late 2010s poisoning my brain reading the RW conspiracy stuff to try to figure out why far RW people believed what they did. It didn’t lead me to any insight but I feel an odd camaraderie reading stuff like this which feels like what I would’ve done if I were ten years old.

pundit's idea of a cross-pressured voter: I like my union job but I hate trans children real cross-pressured voters: I want my taxes to go down, welfare to go up, and for the budget to be balanced
