I don’t disagree about the Democrats shooting themselves in the foot by campaigning on pathetic status quo politics, but
they focused on the economic message
Come on, Trump isn’t coherent on anything, let alone complex issues like the economy. Culture wars and stoking moral panic about minority groups was the Republican platform down to a T.
I’m not calling Trump a policy wonk by any means, but apart from the Arnold Palmer incident and the 45-minute playlist thing he did with Kristi Noem (which apparently the voters found endearing, oddly enough), he and the Republicans had a more appealing message for the average voter. (Not that it takes much of a brain to say “Your life under Biden has been rotten. We’ll do better.”)

Don’t get me wrong.
