The political landscape is not looking good for Vice President Kamala Harris, a realization acknowledged not just by conservatives but by her own side as well. A recent analysis revealed that Harris is lagging behind President Joe Biden’s performance in the 2020 election across every reported county. Given this underwhelming showing, political analysts are drawing parallels to the historic defeat of former Vice President Walter Mondale in 1984, when he faced off against Ronald Reagan. It’s clear that the Democrats are stuck in a denial bubble, utterly detached from the average American’s concerns.
Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough is waving the alarm, suggesting that it’s time for Democrats to wake up and smell the coffee—or at least the freshly brewed political disaster. He pointed out that the current situation for Democrats parallels the bleak period in 1984 when the San Francisco Democrats essentially crashed and burned. Instead of merely blaming Trump, Democrats would do well to take a hard look in the mirror and recognize the existential disconnect they have with mainstream America. It seems like a simple strategy—if they keep pushing their “Trump bad, us virtuous” narrative, they’re set to lose even worse than before.
Furthermore, Scarborough highlighted key issues that could be dragging the Democratic ship down. The border crisis and the controversial transgender policies that Harris has championed could be proving more troublesome than they realize. A particular Trump campaign ad featuring Harris’s promise of gender-affirming care for prisoners has raised eyebrows—an astute move that has struck a chord with average voters who might see this as just plain absurd. The idea of prioritizing “they/them” pronouns over more pressing issues is a recipe for electoral disaster.
@JoeNBC laments Democratic Party is as ‘bleak’ as it was in 1984

Drawing a historical parallel, Scarborough emphasized the magnitude of the brewing red wave, likening it to Reagan’s legendary 1984 victory. Reagan managed to sweep 49 out of 50 states with a whopping 525 Electoral College votes, while Harris is reportedly only sitting on at least 224 electoral votes. Granted, the final numbers are still pending, but that disparity suggests that the Democrats may be on the verge of another electoral self-implosion.
Adding to the Democrats’ woes is the significant demographic shift regarding the Latino vote. Early electoral estimates show Trump capturing about 45% of this critical demographic, a notable leap compared to the 8% of eligible voters that characterized George W. Bush’s 44% Latino vote back in 2004. It appears the Democrats have allowed themselves to become a caricature of progressive ideals, and they may just find themselves bewildered by the consequences at the ballot box. The party needs to recalibrate quickly if they want any hope of regaining relevance in tomorrow’s America.
