It's literally 2016 but worse somehow.
One source close to the Harris campaign tells Rolling Stone they reached out to several staffers in and around the campaign to voice concerns about the candidate embracing Dick and Liz Cheney.
“People don’t want to be in a coalition with the devil,” says the source, speaking about Dick Cheney. They say a Harris staffer responded that it was not the staff’s role to challenge the campaign’s decisions.
A Democratic strategist says they warned key Harris surrogates and top-level officials at the Democratic National Committee that campaigning with Liz Cheney — and making the campaign’s closing argument about how many Republicans were supporting Harris — was highly unlikely to motivate any new swing voters, and risked dissuading already-despondent, infrequent Democratic voters who had supported Biden in 2020. The strategist says they also attempted to have big donors and battleground state party chairs convey the same argument to the Harris campaign.
Another Democratic operative close to Harrisworld says they sent memos and data to Harris campaign staffers underscoring how, among other things, Republican voters, believe it or not, vote Republican — and that the data over the past year screamed that Democrats instead needed to reassure and energize the liberal base and Dem-leaning working class in battleground states. “We were told, basically, to get lost, no thank you,” says the operative.
What the majority of voters believe does matter. That’s what decides the winner
That's why I linked a multitude of polls to show what the vast majority of people want...
Yup. Linked to a bunch of polls without making any claims regarding them.
NYT poll: 47% of voters decribed Kamala Harris as "too liberal or progressive" while 9% described her as "not liberal or progressive enough."
51% say Barack Obama is "too liberal"
Why do polls get it wrong? It all comes down to who participates in their surveys, how representative they are of the electorate, and how truthfully they respond, say researchers. Without accurate data, polls mean nothing.
Pollsters are "trying hard but they keep trying to be too clever," he said. "What we need to do is go back to basics and spend the time and money that it takes to do polls accurately.

Do you understand the difference between labels and policy?
I’m sorry I don’t have time to teach you. Take a class if you want your questions answered.
That was a rhetorical question. People want progressive policies that improve their lived experience. That goes for the majority of republican voters too.
Not according to the people who voted
It's as if the Democrats ran on a neoliberalism platform instead of one with progressive policies. Very obvious to anyone who looked at even a single source of the ones I cited about public support for progressive policies.
And as if you didn’t read any of mine.
I did. None of them are about policy
Then you didn’t actually read them
Go ahead and point to a specific policy, because your articles don't mention any. Feel free to use any of mine, where it's actually about policy
They are all about policy why point to a specific one if you won’t bother reading them. Not to mention that we are talking about what the polls say voters want and you are trying to change the subject to policy
Because I did and they don't lol. The fact that you can't point to a specific one is on you.
I literally linked them to you and you don’t bother reading them while trying to change the subject. Lol
