Summary
In the 2024 election, Democrats excelled with highly engaged voters but lost ground with less-engaged voters, particularly younger, working-class, and non-college-educated individuals.
Vice President Kamala Harris won among voters who closely follow politics by 5 points but trailed Donald Trump by 14 points among less-engaged voters.
Democratic strategists highlighted failures in outreach, reliance on narrow data models, and ineffective messaging.
Critics noted the party’s brand is often defined by extreme voices, while Republicans capitalized on dissatisfaction with the economy and national direction, resonating with everyday frustrations.
I mean if people don’t vote, they don’t count. If the majority of voting Americans vote for something, then I’m going to say the majority of Americans. The majority of voting Americans are ignorant. The rest simply don’t count because they’ve chosen not to count.
Note: That obviously doesn’t include those not of voting age.

Like did you create the account just to spread pessimism and really believe that’s the best way forward?
Reality has more nuisances than good guys and bad guys
