    appoint current vp who won 0 primaries as the party candidate

    “Oh I’ll do a lot of what (deeply unpopular current president) is doing (including genocide, insane border policies, austerity)”

    make no definitive policy agenda beyond things everyone hates

    make ‘progressive’ governor vp candidate to court that wing of party

    call conservatives ‘weird’ to separate self from them

    get, and actively seek, endorsements from neoconservatives to court mythical Never Trump conservatives while alienating everyone left of Reagan

    lose

    “wHaT hApPeNeD??”

      Don’t forget “ignore large contingent of your voterbase, who informs you that they will not vote for you unless you change your policy”

      the only part of the campain that was not a desaster in my estemation was picking Walz as VP as that looked almost as if they where going to move to the more progressive wing… then they ignored all of that and I garentee that thye will scapegoat walz as being too radical and scaring away the moderates, mark my words

      she won like over 90% of the vote in DC though so that move definitely paid off
