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 don’t fucking care. Your amateur detective skills don’t mean shit. You haven’t achieved some kind of gotcha.

      Like did you create the account just to spread pessimism and really believe that’s the best way forward?

      No, I created the account to escape fools like you on Reddit. It didn’t work.

      Not always. And it’s “nuances” not “nuisances”.
