I happen to work in the consulting field (management consulting-related) and think the concept of the Democratic Party using consultants to help them win elections makes no sense to me.
Agreed. So much analysis about why Dems lost gets really, really deep. ItтАЩs really as simple as running a stiff boring politician doesnтАЩt work anymore. Not in this day and age. Voters want relatable people. Is Trump relatable? He is when you think about how people swear and say bad things sometimes.
I went to elementary school a few blocks from Harris' childhood home. My elementary school in West Berkeley, Columbus Elementary School (now Rosa Parks Elementary School), had plenty of students from this neighborhood. I have several friends from here as well.
I can tell you that Harris' personality and attitude most definitely is West Berkeley attitude. She grew up as a kid with a street smart attitude, which includes saying things directly to a person's face if you mean it.
She shouldтАЩve talked like that. Her/our biggest mistake for her debate was thinking letting Trump speak and make an ass of himself helps us win. It was a talking point but did she point how fucking stupid he sounds? Nope. She never sealed the deal on that one. People would probably find it refreshing to hear a politician say in a debate, тАЬYou sound so dumb right now.тАЭ Eating pets?!? Call that out.
National Democrats would do a lot better without consultants.
I really wish National Democrats felt the same way. They seem to be obsessed with the consultant class.

Exactly. Biden telling Trump, "Will you shut up, man?" in a debate became a meme.
Why I think exhaustion with Trump was a real factor and will likely be one again by 26/28.
This is why I'm hoping Ben Wikler wins the DNC Chair. He's said his first order of business is going over every consultant contract.
