12 of 17. The worst election strategy I've ever seen -- "Vibes election"
People are feeling stressed. Single people are feeling stressed not knowing how they can advance to the next phase of life. Middle-aged people are feeling stressed being uncertain about how they'll support their families at the rate things are going. Old people are deferring retirement because their retirement plans assumed prices 20% lower than they are right now. If we do a vibe check, the vibe isn't good.
So of course, the Democrats decided to try to call it a "vibes election". I thought women were supposed to be emotionally intelligent and empathetic, but the party led by a woman has rolled a 1 on the vibe check.
The other thing we saw at the DNC was trying to associate Kamala Harris as the personification of "joy". It isn't 2001, things aren't going good for a lot of people. Thinking that you can get away with branding like that is nutty, but even if you could, it's hypocritical to claim Trump supporters are in a cult while trying to make your political candidate the personification of Joy. You don't get much cultier than "I am joy!"
People need real policies right now, and the Democrat strategy seemed to presume it was 2000 and everyone had a great job and a house and a growing 401(k) so they could just ride the wave of how great things were, which was totally tone deaf.
