The Year of Wishful Thinking
There will be enough autopsy reports of the 2024 US election to fill thousands of episodes of podcasts in the upcoming weeks or even months. While so many podcasters and journalists mourn the loss of Democratic Party, nitpick election data so that they can better understand who voted whom and how the demographic shift might be a telltale sign of the future trends for US politics, I couldn’t help but wondering: Do they really think a black woman can appeal to the voters of rule Pennsylvania? if not, aren’t all those fancy data analysis and deep economics policies comparisons total bullshit?
When you have two candidates are the polar opposite of each other, a white male vs a black female, I think there are no swing states to calculate, people’s mind has been made long before the election campaign even started.
You need a white male to beat another white male, this is the sad truth of America. say otherwise is just wishful thinking.
