I'm sick and fucking tired of the post-election "why Democrats lost" bullshit.

8. It is almost always better to tell people

why they should vote for you rather than against the other guy. I read there was a lot of friction within the campaign between those who wanted to run the planned Biden path and those who wanted to alter it since Harris was now the candidate. It diluted the effort and slowed campaigning while a compromise was (sort of) worked out.

Another big failing, IMO, was Walz. I think he was a brilliant choice, with a down home, 'everyman' appeal. He could have really made a difference appealing to moderate Republicans. However in the last month of the campaign he was essentially invisible. I understand the campaign's concern that they didn't want him to overshadow Harris, but that is up to them to make sure he is amplifying her message without taking center stage.
