Wait, Kamala's People Never Called Philly's Dem Chairman?
The blame game has begun on the Democratic side, with former congressman, Philly Democratic Party chair, and all-around boss Bob Brady alleging that Kamala's people never reached out , which seems to be peak campaign malpractice. In a crucial swing state, one that could decide the whole ball game, you don't call the Democratic boss man of the city. Now, with any old-timer in politics, there are egos and kissing of the rings. Kamala's people didn't do that so that Bob might have thrown a fit, but still, obviously, this whole operation was a dysfunction junction (via PhillyMag ):
The misreading of the electorate, shoddy expenditures, aversion to media interviews, and Kamala's inability to define herself and outline a clear agenda untethered from the Biden administration all contributed to her landslide defeat. But it's the principle: you should contact anyone who can help, especially in a key state like this, where base turnout needs to be maximized for Kamala to have a shot. Thank God the Democrats were blind and mentally challenged this cycle.
And by their reactions to their ass whopping, I doubt they're going to learn anything from their autopsies. They're losing non-white working-class voters. The current ethos of the Democrats isn't a playbook to win them back. That could mean some very interesting opportunities if this voter group goes the way of white working-class voters.
