Contrary to what left-wing optimists had hoped, Democratic nonvoters in 2024 appear to have been less progressive than Democrats who voted. For instance, Democratic nonvoters were 14 points less likely to support banning assault rifles, 20 points less likely to support sending aid to Gaza, 17 points less likely to report believing that slavery and discrimination make it hard for Black Americans, 17 points more likely to support building a border wall with Mexico, 20 points more likely to support the expansion of fossil fuel production, and, sadly for economic populists, 16 points less likely to support corporate tax hikes (though this group still favored corporate tax hikes by a three to one margin). Overall, nonvoting Democrats were 18 points less likely to self-identify as “liberal” or “very liberal.” Here is a point for the centrists.
After spending months blaming actual leftists, it turns out it was just regular Democrats that were okay with giving Trump the presidency.
The DNC is 100% aware what lost them votes.
Kamala lost votes because nobody besides DNC leadership voted for her to be the pick, she also lost a lot of votes for the crime of being a colored woman in a bigot country.
And they are in a pickle, because doing things that will get them those votes in the long run means their rich masters make less free money than the previous quarter.
We really need a leftist party we can ditch the DNC for
While it certainly contributed, there are far greater reasons she lost than just being a black woman.
Completely dropping her initial messaging about being anti corporate, stopping Walz from his clearly successful rhetoric of just calling them weird, not doing enough media appearances, etc
If you look at the largest demographics that voted for Biden but stayed home for Kamala it was white men/women, and hispanic men.
The two canidates had identical policies.
So more than any time in US history we were able to accurately see that yes, less people voted for her because she was a woman and colored.
