This Week In The Big Picture
With Donald Trump having just reentered the White House, it’s important to understand what went wrong for Democrats and right for Trump in last year’s election.
In tomorrow’s The Big Picture, guest writer
makes the case that Joe Biden was the “last president of the 20th Century” and that part of what Kamala Harris didn’t grasp during her abbreviated campaign was the extent to which media has changed and therefore how politicians campaign must change in this new digital media environment.So what is the right prescription for Democrats to continue to win presidential elections? Snell will dive into that crucial question tomorrow.
And in case you missed it yesterday, as Donald Trump opened a firehose of deplorable executive actions on Monday,
organized them into a helpful guide to help us make sense of which are likely here to stay and which are most likely to be reversed.
The only thing that vice president Harris “didn’t grasp” is how misogynistic and racist our country is. We had the most qualified, dynamic, aspirational candidate who wished to and could be a president for all of us and Americans, or at lest 77m low information voters, blew it.
I’m not going to read this tomorrow because I think the election was stolen from Harris/Walz, and several knowledgable hackers agree about how easy it would have been, and that the outcomes in swing states illustrate and confirm the hack! I also think their campaign was brilliant in their use of social media and modern technology. They were very agile and turned on a dime when they responded to the campaign’s trends. In 2016, I got so tired of hearing what Hillary did wrong, when the smart folks said Hillary would have won if James Comey hadn’t alluded to her emails when he did (against FBI policy), and how Drumpf “won the election” in 2016. They cheated (thanks, Vlad) in 2016 and 2020. Of Course, they cheated in 2024! They know they won’t “win“ another election without cheating. To them, the ends ALWAYS justify the means. Please Stop saying Harris/Walz erred. Before the election they were credited with having run a perfect campaign. Now? Because she is not the “winner” pundits criticize what they did, rather than look hard at the outcome, and discuss why it was razor thin in swing states (and only a tiny bit higher than the percentage that would trigger an automatic recount in every state.)
