It wasn't. My point was that people weren't going to listen to Dems about the economy regardless of what they said because of the experience they had with inflation.

But Harris wasn't perceived as a centrist. She was perceived as a leftist mostly because of cultural issues.
That doesn't change the fact that Sherill and Spanberger ran as centrists in centrist states and crushed their opponents.

We agree, truly, that they need to build a working class majority. The working class also doesn't want to be lectured on cultural issues.
And it's hard to sell economic populism after they were in charge when inflation did what it did.

Harris lost because she was foisted on the public after the corpse withdrew without the party going thru the nomination process and defining what they were for.
Without that, the preconceptions of what they were and what they thought Harris was stuck.

Yet centrists like Sherill and Spanberger did quite well.

It's true that no one trusts Dems but it has more to do with putting up a corpse for President until July.

Trump said he was anti DEI, anti immigrant, and anti Trans extremism. That's what people wanted to hear.
The opposite were all things ascribed to Harris and Dems.

Convincing people comes first, then legislation. Gay marriage is the perfect example. The law changed only after the conversion happened. And this week, a conservative SCOTUS refused to hear a challenge.

Harris lost for a lot of reasons, but one of them was that people didn't trust Dems redefining norms and they trusted Rs more.
And it's not about giving up on issues. It's about convincing people first. The politics only come after buy in.

1M people voted for Mamdami. Nearly 2M voted for Sherril and Spanberger each. Mamdami worked for very left NYC. Great! But Sherill and Spanberger's message is way better for the majority of the country.
Identity politics will kill the Dems nationally.

That being said, I'd never hire a lawyer in any capacity that said she's mad at psychics because they told her she'd pass the bar.

The Dems lost me when they didn't do anything to stop Biden in 2023 from running again.
And yes, even the far left was complicit.

Counterpoint: Don't forget the male loneliness panic. When 15% of men report they have no close friends, that's a problem. 10% of women reporting the same is a huge problem too, but it's still more profound in men.
