Kamala Harris Campaign Autopsy: ‘The More People Vote, the Better Republicans Do’

I’m never going to become a physician. No offense, but I don’t want get around most of y’all when you’re good and effectively. There is no appeal in the world to be at your beck and call when you’re tired, disgusting, or hacking up phlegm.

However, I’d like to be an inquest dentist if I had to be one. Talk about a pressure-free work: What’s the worst that could happen? Never have to give a crying wife bad news! Nobody cares about your bad bed habits! ( And best of all, who knows what goodies you might find in your “patient’s” pockets? )

A political autopsy has a disturbingly similar structure to a medical autopsy, complete with the postmortem graft: The company conducting the autopsy ( almost ) always demands more work from the client ( cha-ching! ), so a lot of its” opinions” will work well with the services it’s attempting to sell.

And I’m not saying it’s doing anything irresponsible. That’s often the way it views the world. In any case, if you hire a PR firm to do your autopsy, it’ll likely point to PR issues. If it specializes in community engagement, it’ll improve in on that. This is a crucial caveat to keep in mind because these “analytical, data-driven examinations” frequently exhibit less factual and creative prejudices, more so because they reflect the “physician” and “patient” prejudices more than the “patient” prejudices.

The Kamala Harris 2024 promotion examination was commissioned by Blue Rose Research, a pro-Democratic company. Obviously, they worked hard on it: They interviewed 26 million citizens, examined the poll information, and synthesized the benefits. ( Blue Rose Research collaborated with Kamala’s largest PAC, Future Forward, during the campaign. ) &nbsp,

It’s a interesting postmortem — and it reveals options, risks, and responsibilities for both parties.

First, it demonstrates the enduring strength of the popular press: The Republicans didn’t gain in 2024 because fewer individuals watched the media and received better media protection! Contemplate:

The most engaged persons swung toward Democrats between 2020 and 2024, despite the fact that Democrats did worse total. &nbsp,

However, Democrats are wildly opposed by those who are least politically active. They’re a party that Biden both narrowly won or just lost four years ago. However, this day, they voted for Trump by triple digits.

And I believe that this is only mathematically significant. Individuals have a lot of concerns about how the mainstream media filled stuff. However, I believe it’s important to remember that the most liberal viewers of the information really turned out to be Democrats. And the issue was essentially that a sizable subset of the population who didn’t even follow the news started to become more traditional. [ Heads added ]

The next significant finding is that more people vote, which means that Republicans now perform better. The key to a GOP triumph was a sad turnout from everyone else, and an excited base of republicans and moderates, according to the previous” regular wisdom.” Not so longer:

The reality is that Donald Trump would have won the popular vote by 5 positions [rather than 1.7 points ] if all registered voters had turned out. Therefore, I believe a” we need to move up the heat and mobilize all” approach would have made things worse. [ Heads added ]

That good ol’ fashioned political elitism is, of course, a difficult nut to crack. This was a strange talk, but it was also an interesting story:

One of my favorite numbers on this is something that Nate Cohn put out a few years ago: Working-class white citizens who’ve read a guide in the last year are much more Democrat than working-class white voters who haven’t. &nbsp,

The Democratic Party’s non-white trip is the second significant finding. MAGA’s 2024 return didn’t happen via juicing the participation among white electors but the large migration of immigrants from the Dems:

If we examine trends from 2016 to 2024 based on race and philosophy, we can see a clear example of how light voters did not actually change. Kamala Harris performed precisely as Hillary Clinton did among white conservatives, light liberals, and white reformers. &nbsp,

However, these significant double-digit drops are evident in the voter data for Hispanic and Asian voters. To give an example, Democrats received 81 percentage of moderate Hispanic voters in 2016. Fast-forward to 2024, Democrats got only 57 percent of Hispanic reformers, which is really very similar to the 51 percent that Harris got among light reformers.

White folks merely really started to become increasingly polarized in the 1990s. Non-white citizens are starting to polarize their opinions on philosophy in the same way that white citizens did. &nbsp,

If you examine African Americans, they do not jump almost as much. Before the Kamala switchover, Black voters were projected to turn 7 % to 8 % in favor of us in our polls. &nbsp,

I may say that to some extent, getting 94 percentage of any ethnic group is unsustainable. However, I believe the voter turnout among non-white people and immigrants is a sign of this deeper, intellectual fragmentation Democrats are experiencing. [ Heads added ]

It also raises questions about the Democratic Party’s method of putting so much emphasis on philosophy:

In essence, 40 % of the nation views themselves as conventional. About 40 percent is average, 20 percent is progressive, though it depends precisely how you ask it. It occasionally has a 25 cent democratic component. However, this is just another political trickle-down from Republicans, given how much Democrats attempt to polarize the public on self-described philosophy. [ Heads added ]

The Democrats are aware of their defeat of the young man voting, but they still don’t know how to fix it:

If you consider citizens under the age of 25, the sex gap has doubled in size. And if you look at 18-year-olds especially, 18-year-old men were 23 percentage points more likely to voting for Donald Trump than 18-year-old people. Additionally, it appears that there are more female gaps in different nations. The way it operates varies from one state to the next. In Germany, for example, young ladies voted in extremely large amounts for Die Linke, the left-wing group it.

There are many different items that could be causing this. However, I believe that if you look at non-political voting, you can actually see proof that there is crazy, cultural shift taking place around and essentially everywhere else in the virtual world. In Norway, there’s a ballot of high school students where the proportion of young people saying, “gender justice has gone to way” spiked in recent years. &nbsp,

I’m not sure what that means. [ Heads added ]

The Trump administration needs to take note of the following message:” Cost of living issues will increase or decrease.” Things like DOGE, Gaza, Ukraine, Greenland, Canada, and the rest are important on the outside, but this is politics: You have to keep the “main thing” the main thing.

In 2020, what people cared about the most was Covid and health care. And those were the issues on which people had the greatest faith. So we simply had to talk about Covid and health care, which was a simple task. That’s what we did. And we prevailed. &nbsp,

But the situation this time was a lot harder. The cost of living was overwhelmingly the issue that voters valued the most. I can’t really put a price on how much people thought about the cost of living. If you ask what’s more important, the cost of living or some other issue picked at random, people picked the cost of living 91 percent of the time. It’s really difficult to get 91 percent of survey respondents to click anything.

After the cost of living, the federal government’s size and scope, the budget deficit, immigration, crime, and also healthcare. And people trusted Republicans on these issues by double-digits— except for health care, where we had a 2-point advantage, which was much lower than our traditional advantage on that issue.

Blue Rose Research advises focusing on Elon Musk, the economy, and “oligarch-bashing” as to how the Democrats will attack Trump.

Trump’s approval rating has dropped since he took office. His ratings on how well he handled the economy, which has historically been a strong suit, have decreased significantly, and his handling of the cost of living has also decreased a lot. Elon Musk is also becoming much more unpopular, making him the most unpopular member of his administration overall. Trump and Elon have really spent the first part of their term diving into the biggest weaknesses of the Republican Party — namely, they’re trying to pass tax cuts for billionaires, they’re cutting essential services and causing chaos for regular people left and right, while trying to slash social safety net programs. It’s Paul Ryan-ism on steroids.

In terms of vigorously opposing these very unpopular economic changes that Trump is pushing through, I believe we have a real chance to go back to the politics of 2012. [ Heads added ]
