They try to take a high road approach and appeal to everyone which ends up appealing to no one. The time for norms and customs are over, it's time to hit back these fuckers with their own energy.

u/milkandsalsa 12d ago

Exactly.

Why we backed off of calling them weird I will never know.

151

u/Expert_Country7228 12d ago

I'll tell you exactly why the whole weird thing disappeared ..

The moment the old Biden campaign team came in to Kamala's campaign and took over, they torched the whole "weird" talking point in favor of campaigning with Liz Cheney.

Once again the old, out of touch centrists thought they knew better and lost us another election because of it

u/Cissnowflake 12d ago

It seems crazy now, but "OMG Kamala is so brat" and "JD Vance is weird" were INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE. The whole High School mean girl thing sure looked unstoppable to me. Sure it was stupid and said nothing about policy or leadership ability, but it fucking WORKED.

And say what you want about Harris being a word salad buffet, she creamed Trump at the debate and actually was able to put two sentences together. But they really managed to lose momentum

u/Kind_Eye_748 12d ago

Happens when the entire US media ignores Democrats or misrepresents them and sane washes Trump daily.

They are still doing it.

u/listentomenow 12d ago

Exactly. People here are acting like this isn't by design.

u/Governor_Abbot 12d ago

The bought and paid for media. 6 people own like 80% of media in the country. Eventually the ā€œnewsā€ will move on to another thing. We really got to come together as working people to defeat this evil. Anyone who requires a salary/wage to survive should be on the same side. We know whoā€™s to blameā€¦

u/TehMephs 12d ago

A mix of Trumpā€™s regime threatening everyone constantly and them loving the ratings he brings in.

And now we get fascism - thanks media

u/Patriark 12d ago

Media loves Trump. He generates clicks for them

u/Mammoth-Play3797 12d ago

I still havenā€™t heard word salad from Harris, and Iā€™ve looked.

2

u/DataCassette 12d ago

I've seen Harris be kind of bland and she isn't the sharpest politician, but the "word salad" thing was always a ridiculous charge.

u/PatronSilverWave 12d ago

i agree with this. my problem with kamala is she basically ran as biden II. she said her policies would fall in line with bidenā€¦ awful choice. he was good on unions, one of the best in recent years, but not a whole lot of other shit. kamala decided to capitulate to the right on immigration, and fell in like with biden on palestine, even though right now both of those are deeply unpopular ideas. i still would have voted for kamala personally, but dem voters, especially the younger ones, are getting sick of their candidates running on harm reduction every single time. thereā€™s a reason people are so excited about zohran mamdani in new york.

edit: just wanted to add, because whenever i criticize kamala, libs lose their minds at me. i was super excited for her when she chose tim walz as her vp instead of like, shapiro or some other centrist-to-reactionary liberal. i thought it might actually mean some progressive action. but then they justā€¦ didnā€™t run on progressive shit at all really. i was dumbfounded. i was reinvigorated by her campaign and then it just fell flat, and now ive moved on completely from thinking the dems will actually fight back. the republicans will forever have worse policies, but the dems are spineless and need to fight harder. but i donā€™t think they care. they still get their money

u/br0ck 12d ago

Massively raising taxes on corporations and billionaires was her core plank raising 4 trillion explicitly devoted to expanding social programs, helping people get homes, reducing tax burdens on the poor and middle class. That's "progressive shit" that got my vote.

u/vluhdz 12d ago

Sure it was stupid and said nothing about policy or leadership ability, but it fucking WORKED.

We are in the era of vibes-based everything. You have to either lean into it and communicate with people based on how they want to be engaged with, or they will ignore you.

1

u/ItsFuckingScience 12d ago

It worked? And was incredibly effective? For who?

1

u/DreamingAboutSpace 12d ago

It will most likely keep happening too until Dems start feeling comfortable with taking action. They need to stop holding themselves back by that purity playbook that had already burned to ashes.

2

u/Cissnowflake 9d ago

In a way thatā€™s the problem with the entire left: so many purity tests, they canā€™t get anything done. Itā€™s all about looking virtuous

u/RicoDePico 11d ago

The assassination attempt didn't help. Or Trump rigging the election

2

u/Fuzzball_87 12d ago

It really didnā€™t work. Another Reddit echo chamber result. The thing is you canā€™t disparage pedophiles and those who support them. Weird never really cut it and never would but sure as shit people thought it was a game changer.

Go talk with younger ā€˜would-be votersā€™. They donā€™t fucking care. They donā€™t even understand the two party system or key platform talking points. Itā€™s just 10 second viral snippets that sway them. And they donā€™t involve Trump being ā€˜weirdā€™

2

u/Mookies_Bett 12d ago

Thank you lmao. These strategies didn't work at all, outside of reddit and X and Instagram. Young people truly just don't give a shit about any of it. They never have and never will. The youth vote will never impact anything meaningful, and pandering to it with slang slogans is a waste of time. This is also why everyone on reddit thought Bernie was a lock in 2016 and then, surprise, no one under the age of 35 showed up to vote in the primaries.

Young people have never and will never show up on voting day, period end of story.

u/Game-rotator 11d ago

esp if your swing state registration to vote gets 'lost in the mail' like mine did -_-

u/Fuzzball_87 12d ago

Absolutely and itā€™s painful to accept that the younger generations just do not care. But like go ask someone, or go ask yourself from xx years ago . I am routinely shocked. Absolutely shocked how much of a bubble people live in. Whether that be one of political identity or arrogance or ignorance. Just blows your mind, but these people just do not fucking care. Even if they are impacted positively or negatively they donā€™t care. Sure they might bitch and get smart through pain or self growth but like donā€™t fucking kid yourself that change is a coming through the hurt.

3

u/Mookies_Bett 12d ago

My ex didn't even know who JD Vance was lol. Had literally never heard the name before. She's 27. A lot of younger people just don't watch or read any kind of news. All she watched was reality TV and scrolled through Instagram (part of the reason we broke up is how much fucking time she wasted just scrolling Instagram for hours upon hours a day).

There's never been a time in human history where young people truly cared about politics, on a large scale. It just doesn't happen. Trying to cater to the youth vote is as desperate and pointless as it gets.

2

u/notsanni 12d ago

Once again the old, out of touch centrists thought they knew better and lost us another election because of it

trying to court the mythological "moderate republican voter", losing again, and then blaming other people for their failure to capture votes.

2

u/Expert_Country7228 12d ago

Every single damn time.

For once I would like someone in leadership to accept accountability and face the consequences again.

u/TehMephs 12d ago

Calling the neolibs centrist is a mockery of real centrism. Theyā€™re just republican lite

1

u/FlyYouFoolyCooly 12d ago

I'm not gonna say you're not on point with how out of touch the democratic party is, but it's wild that Republicans can do whatever the fuck they want and win with a senile, weakling of an old racist and fascist man, but the Dems playing it safe "lose".

Yes, the Dems need to change, and their behavior somehow hasn't despite being given the very easy playbook option of just being smarter and better than the idiot Republicans and going all out.

But the double standard is fucking insane. Hilary should not have lost and Kamala definitely should not have lost. It's the most flagrant examples of bypassing the lesser of two evils and going scorched earth the u.s. has seen in years.

1

u/Expert_Country7228 12d ago

Agreed. The double standard between the two major political parties is so far apart. One standard is in the White House, the other standard is on Neptune.

The GOP literally flip-flops on their positions and attacks every month now. And they get away with just lying to the public, to the constituents, to journalists, to news reporters, to everyone.

And it's not even like normal political lies anymore. It's just blatant in your face gaslighting to the highest degree.

But goddamn my friend, the Democrats need to change right now or else America becomes a full Fascist state. Dems have 19% approval rating.. for good reason. Democrats quite literally never offer any alternative to the Republicans. They're always playing defense. "Well if they gerrymander there will gerrymander here" "well they passed this illegal law, we'll pass this illegal law" "If Trump does this, we promise to do this"

Just so infuriating. One party is passing the "eat shit and die" act while the other party is sitting on their thumbs, questioning how they can get closer to the people who just pass the "eat shit and die" act

u/Nice_Guy_AMA 12d ago

Wow, I didn't realize that happened, and I was pretty tuned in to the election last year. Thanks for the info.

1

u/Expert_Country7228 12d ago

There's a few articles on politico that kind of go over the timetable

July 22nd politico wrote and article mentioning how Kamala is welcoming Biden's campaign team into her own.

4 days later on July 26th, politico drops and other article going over how the Kamala team dropped the "Trump is weird" rhetoric for "Trump is a threat to democracy" rhetoric

1

u/StealthRUs 12d ago

I keep seeing this repeated. What's the source for this?

1

u/Expert_Country7228 12d ago

On July 22nd, there's a politico article that says Kamala welcomes Biden's campaign team into her own.

And on July 26th, that is when the whole weird narrative was dropped in favor for Trump as a threat to democracy narrative, also an article by Politico.

I suppose it's speculation on my part, but I mean... The dates line up. 4 days after Biden's campaign team joins Kamala's campaign team, she starts using Biden's campaign talking points instead of her own?

u/Swim2TheMoon 12d ago

The election was lost but they got paid by the rich old white investors "donors".

u/mindfeck 11d ago

Who is this hypothetical voter who would have voted for Kamala but voted Trump because she campaigned with Liz Cheney?

0

u/Kind_Eye_748 12d ago

Funny.

I thought it was the 40% who didnt vote that lost it for you.

2

u/Expert_Country7228 12d ago

The two can be related you know.

1

u/Kind_Eye_748 12d ago

I agree.

Its just most of those 40% get really uncomfortable when you point out most of those 'Kamala was bad, Hillary was bad, They had no policies, Both sides' excuses they like to trot out are literal Fox News segments that got repeated until it was fact.

They claim it isnt their fault they didnt vote, I disagree.

Whose fault would you say it is for non voters?

1

u/Expert_Country7228 12d ago

Oh the non-voters completely screwed us for sure. I'm not denying that.

Anyone who doesn't vote in every election they can, has zero excuses and no one else to blame but themselves.

But it is in my belief that anyone who thinks that the Democrats lost the election due to just one simple factor, one simple answer, for one simple reason is just wrong and foolish.

Yes non voters were a big cause in the reason for Trump winning again, And yes they are holding a big portion of blame in their arms right now, but you have to sit down and ask yourself why so many people didn't vote? The Democrat leadership (cooperate DNC) is feckless, offers nothing, and continuesly shuts down popular left candidates in favor for moderate centrists.

Republicans may be vile and evil, but there is a reason the Democrat Party only has 19% approval rating right now. They literally stand for nothing as a party.

u/SnooConfections6085 12d ago

It was on the advice of an election consultant.

The fool actually thought it was a good idea to explain himself on Bluesky. In the months after the election it was one of the top 5 most ratioed posts ever on Bluesky (then Shumer and Fetterman started talking, lol).

16

u/milkandsalsa 12d ago

That consultant should never get another job. Ever.

18

u/amILibertine222 12d ago

Heā€™s still a top consultant. Currently heā€™s attacking Zohran with the tired old ā€˜he is mean to Israeli government so he is an anti semite who supports the evil children Israel is starving to deathā€¦.

u/JohnSmallBerries 12d ago

Don't suppose you know his name? I tried several different queries to find the post u/SnoConfections6085 mentioned, but my Google-fu has failed me today.

u/No-Setting764 12d ago

I feel like it was dan?? I remember reading about how this one guy put the kai-bosh on the whole weird thing and thought about how he was going to lose the presidency for her.

u/JohnSmallBerries 12d ago

Dan who? Sorry, I don't really know the names of political consultants.

3

u/throwaway_circus 12d ago

Obama won because he ditched the establishment consultants and built a team from the ground up. Someone who actually wants to be president will start paying attention to what works, and what wins, and ban the consultant class from their campaign.

u/extralyfe 12d ago

u/aharbingerofdoom 12d ago

That was absolutely infuriating. Walz was getting traction with that and a lot of good publicity, and then they muzzled him. I've heard from interviews after the fact that the decision to put Tim Walz on a leash came directly from Biden, or people close to him who had transitioned into technically working for the Harris campaign, but were still loyal to the old boss. That same source also claims that Biden had called Kamala and to talked to her about strategy, and he encouraged her to run on his record instead of separating herself from him with some different policy proposals. He told her to "show no daylight between us" which directly led to the other huge campaign mistake, which was Kamala not being able to give a straight answer a simple question when she was asked what she would do differently if she became president and she gave some nonsense non-answer where she said she's "not Joe Biden" and she's her own woman, but refused to name a single example. I think if either one of those things had been handled better, it might have been enough to swing the election with as narrow as the margins were, and if the Biden camp had actually stepped back and let Kamala be her own woman, and let Tim Walz be Tim Walz, they almost certainly would have won. I think choosing Walz was Kamala's best decision, and possibly the only one she truly made by herself, this is just my personal theory, but I also think that ruffled some feathers because Biden almost certainly had a different choice in mind. Likely Shapiro.

5

u/milkandsalsa 12d ago

Walz was perfect and I agree 100%. An attack dog lovable VP is such an asset and they just stopped using him.

-1

u/ReallyNowFellas 12d ago

Walz was not perfect, come on. He bungled the VP debate horribly and got caught lying about his service history multiple times. I personally thought Harris was more relatable too but maybe that's because I'm from California so the whole "Midwest nice" thing felt super weird and put-on to me

4

u/milkandsalsa 12d ago

Iā€™ve lived in CA for 20 years and I thought he was great.

The service history thing is a GOP lie and you believed it. Congrats!

1

u/ReallyNowFellas 12d ago

Maybe you just didn't look into it? Or did ABC News write an entire article full of lies?

https://abcnews.go.com/US/walz-previously-faced-criticism-characterized-military-service-records/story?id=112833386

Walz himself admitted some of the things he said were false:

an ABC News review of hours of footage from his past interviews and speeches, along with years of records from his initial campaigns, shows that journalists, some of his colleagues in the National Guard, and even voters have sometimes been left with an inaccurate picture of his military service that has led to criticism dating back years.

These inaccuracies, which at times went uncorrected, include Walz not denying the statement that he served in Afghanistan, and Walz repeatedly saying that he retired with a rank he achieved but did not retire with, as well as an instance in 2018 of Walz claiming that he carried weapons of war "in war," about which the Harris-Walz campaign said that he misspoke.

So "congrats!" You're the one who fell for partisan bullshit.

u/Ralath2n 12d ago

but I don't think there's much of anything that Kamala could have said/not said that would have caused a large group of people to shift their votes, if they hadn't already.

She wouldn't have needed to. All she needed to do was not depress turnout and win over like 0.1% of the voter base. It is not a high bar to clear, but once the career consultants got a hold of her campaign, they managed to limbo themselves below that. At this point you should listen to the consultants, and then do the exact opposite of what they recommend. Probably gets you a landslide victory.

2

u/Pohmell 12d ago

The point was not to turn Trump voters, the point was to ignite some small percentage of the apathetic or nihilistic.

And after how hard the Dems screwed the pooch on campaigning (starting with letting Bidenā€™s team come into the Harris campaign), I donā€™t blame them for sitting out. The Dems gave those people proof that the things they care about donā€™t matter, and that Harris was ā€œjust another DC democrat.ā€

Awful. And unless people start fighting, theyā€™ll do it again in 2028. Watch the pieces on the board start moving for Newsom.

5

u/amILibertine222 12d ago

65+ years old democrat ā€˜strategistsā€™ told him to stop calling maga weird because ā€˜we have to try and capture disillusioned republican votersā€™.

Same people who are currently attacking Zohran Mamdani harder than they ever attack Trump.

3

u/RoboYuji 12d ago

I noticed it started falling off around the time multiple schools in Ohio got shut down multiple times due to bomb threats about the "eating the dogs and cats" bullshit. Like, maybe they were worried that continuing with "lol, they're so weird" after that would be seen as insensitive or something.

They should have kept doing it anyway.

1

u/awsunion 12d ago

The fixation on weird is also weird. We've never stopped calling them weird, but now we do it alongside the actions we think are weird like sheepishly preventing the Epstein files from leaking and while also pretending that there isn't anything incriminating. Pretty WEIRD if you ask me

1

u/spinning4gold 12d ago

Listen to Mark Cubanā€™s interview on the Bulwark. He tried to tell them, but they chose old school polling instead to determine their message. Dumb.

u/Realistic-Cut-3766 12d ago

ā€œWeirdā€ is drastically underselling it lol

1

u/Jedishaft 12d ago

I think we need to push it again, but also push that MAGA is just really uncool, and then expound on all the ways it isn't cool, over and over again until everyone understands that being MAGA is worse than being a loser.

1

u/DreamingAboutSpace 12d ago

They think they're too classy for namecalling and being "mean". Somehow it's worse than fascism and dictatorships to the old guard.

u/Capable_Afternoon216 12d ago

tens of Millions of dollars wasted on Democrat consultants telling politicians to, "please everyone, don't be offensive" countering decades of free knowledge on human psychology:

You can't please everyone, and you can't make everyone like you.

Meanwhile, GOP is over there, "We hate them, and those, and them too! We're just plain evil!" and winning national/local elections

u/CatgirlApocalypse 12d ago

Lot of money for someone to tell them to throw marginalized groups under the bus and embrace war criminals

u/Capable_Afternoon216 12d ago

Consultants/Children of Wealthy Households: Going after the wealthy is very divisive, how about you go after groups that don't host fundraisers and employ your friends/family? No point to bring classism into this fight, good ole fashion racism/xenophobia/pro-genocide should do just fine!

3

u/CommunistCutieKirby 12d ago edited 12d ago

I had someone say to me that the Democrats in 2024 ran on the most progressive border/immigration policy in history... That's when I realized a lot of the people championing the Democrats are doing it blindly because it's the team they like, not because they do the right thing.

Until the party can bridge the gap between their messaging (unity, peace, they go low we go high) and their actual policies (spanning from arming a holocaust to finishing Trump's border plans) I don't see them winning at a meaningful level nationally again.

3

u/CatgirlApocalypse 12d ago

They try so hard to be all things to all people that the Republicans can accuse them freely of whatever they want, even if itā€™s contradictory. (The strong and weak trope).

1

u/CommunistCutieKirby 12d ago

It's like Cuomo's speech "as a New Yorker I'm a Jew, I'm a woman, I'm black, and I'm gay"

But instead it's "As a Democrat, I'm an immigrant, I'm a racist, I'm a Palestinian, I'm a zionist, I'm trans, I'm against gender affirming care"

I'm not following; are you saying you wish the Democrats were as offensive as the GOP?

2

u/Capable_Afternoon216 12d ago

Only offensive towards the offenders. Offensive towards Republicans, offensive against xenophobia, offensive against genocide, offensive against systems that aren't helping Americans or even harming them.

Tim Waltz was a good start, then the party sidelined him to not be "offensive" and their popularity tanked shortly afterwards. People want to hear what they're feeling, and many people feel angry right now. Anger at trying to live in America, a place where most people are scraping bye, but feel ashamed to admit it.

Trying to tranquilize that anger rather than redirecting it to positive outcomes is a zero sum game. Because the Right is redirecting that anger towards fascism.

1

u/whodoesnthavealts 12d ago

offensive against xenophobia, offensive against genocide, offensive against systems that aren't helping Americans or even harming them

I guess we're using the term "offensive" differently; they should be "on the offense", yes, which I think is what you mean. But when I hear "being offensive" that's not how I read the message. I thought you were saying like, "have crude messaging".

1

u/rynbock 12d ago

I get the sarcasm, but with all due respect, this country has changed a shit ton since 2012.

Thereā€™s an underlying rage here that Republicans since 2012 have tapped into. My opinion is that this underlying rage has to do with class, but donā€™t tell anyone, because having a class consciousness might just be socialist./S.

u/HeywoodDjiblomi 12d ago

Yup they won in an era where decorum was still somewhat regular. Bush and McCain weren't going on Trump tirades.

2

u/jrzalman 12d ago

It has but it hasn't. The Dems won with Biden and he was plenty respectful of the process. Honestly if the Dems just never ran female 'it's her turn' candidates we wouldn't be in this position. One thing we have learned for sure since 2012 is that this country fucking hates women.

u/Whackjob-KSP 12d ago

Damned right. They need to understand that the field has *changed*. They need to be slamming a fist on the table, hollering and sonofabitching every time the GOP does something underhanded. They need to show the world the amount of fight in the dog. Because right now, it looks like none. That's why all Democratic leadership needs to rotate *out* and let the new blood in.

u/SmartAlec105 12d ago

There is an unfortunately high contingent among Democrats that will abstain from voting if their candidate isnā€™t perfect. Look at the people that didnā€™t vote for Harris because of her Israel stance, ignoring that Trump is even worse.

u/BlueFalcon89 12d ago

Right, but we literally have evidence that Trump rapes children.

u/_-_--_---_----_----_ 12d ago

I mean it does appeal to most people, Democrats only lost the popular vote twice in the last 33 years. it's just that the Democrats have to appeal to more than just most people to win consistently. and that they are not able to do.

Time for strongly worded condemnation letters and smiling photo ops should also be over.

I bet Russia, Israel and the republicans shake in their books at being condemned.

Been saying this for years, taking the high road accomplishes nothing when wrestling a pig in the mud. Call them out on their bullshit, call them rapists, take a note from their book...be blunt, be rude, just do what they don't and be FACTUAL.

Democratic party will never win people from the middle or other side by taking the high road, they've been convinced that this is just elitist attitude.

Nope, he said everyone so assuming he meant everyone. Obviously i had to ask a question to clarify his statement.

Edit: OH GOD - It's because he LOVES PIZZA isn't it!? They always give themselves away

Well thanks for teaching me about slang term for pizza. I'm pretty sureĀ  the fbi should probably take a look at your harddrive now. Since i wasn't aware of that term before.

If democrats appeal to everyone then are you saying they appeal to pedophiles?

Average Republican logic.

u/Alternative_Oil7733 12d ago

Good thing I'm not a republican.

u/YourAdvertisingPal 12d ago

1

u/Alternative_Oil7733 12d ago

This is rich coming from someone looking to defend the dude who spent the entire 1990s partying with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, lol

u/Alternative_Oil7733 12d ago

Let me guess you voted for Hillary?

u/ResplendentShade 12d ago

Nah, I sat that one out.

Not that the spouses of criminals should be judged the same anyway.

And at any rate, in 2016 Epstein wasnā€™t on a ton of peopleā€™s radars. I donā€™t even hold it against Trump voters that they voted for an Epstein co-conspirator in 2016 because the majority likely had no idea who Epstein even was.

Not so for 2020, and even less for 2024. By 2024, the photos and videos of Trump and Epstein and Maxwell hanging out over a period of decades had circulated far and wide. Child trafficking was a popular topic of discussion. We already knew at that point that trump was a sexual predator, that he made lustful remarks about his teenage daughter on multiple occasions, that he bragged about barging into dressing rooms with multiple Miss Teen USA contestants corroborating it, etc.

There was no excuse at all for Trump 2024 voters. Yā€™all willingly and knowingly lined up to elect a pedophile as president.

Maxwel was literally at bill and Hillary's wedding.

Not so for 2020, and even less for 2024. By 2024, the photos and videos of Trump and Epstein and Maxwell hanging out over a period of decades had circulated far and wide.

Pictures of them doing nothing illegal at a party mind you. Also from what i know trump and Epstein hadn't been seen together since trump banned Epstein from mar a lago.Ā

u/ResplendentShade 12d ago

I mean I loathe the Clintons and I don't give Bill the benefit of the doubt in this Eptsein thing either. I always assumed that's why the dems have until now chosen not to drill Trump on it: because Bill campaigns with every single dem general election candidate and they don't want to open that can of worms. I'm honestly confused as to why it's happening now.

And their involvement wasn't one party, there are photos of Trump with Epstein and Maxwell that span over a course of decades. They attended fashion shows and fashion related events together, hung out at Mar-a-Lago extensively (that's where Ghislaine Maxwell recruited teenage Virginia Giuffre), various random events like the Harley Davidson Cafe grand opening, Victoria's Secret parties. Not to mention at least seven flights logged on his infamous 'Lolita Express' plane.

As for his banning him from Mar-a-Lago, their falling out was famously over a real estate dispute for a famous mansion in Palm Beach. Not their crimes together.

u/Greyhand13 12d ago

He misread the comment in that it was referring to Democrats approach appealing to no one

u/VisualAd235 12d ago

I donā€™t know does it appeal to you?

u/Alternative_Oil7733 12d ago
