]]><![CDATA[Uh oh...]]>https://www.slowboring.com/p/uh-ohhttps://www.slowboring.com/p/uh-ohWed, 06 Nov 2024 11:02:28 GMTI sat down at around 11pm Eastern time yesterday with my friend Brian Beutler of Off Message to record a special live episode of our podcast Politix and thought I would make it our official content for this morning.

We were of course dealing with some uncertainty about the election outcome but as you’ll see the assumption pretty swiftly turns to a Kamala Harris loss and a potentially large GOP gain in the senate. We didn’t talk much about the House where I think the outcome remains pretty significantly up in the air. I apologize that I messed up my microphone for the beginning of this and the audio doesn’t sound very good, but I promise that midway through I figured out how to do it correctly.

The main topic of discussion here is less “what went wrong” with the campaign qua campaign than what went wrong with Democrats in terms of big picture marketing across large swathes of the country. Brian is focused more on questions of media infrastructure, while I think the product itself needs to be rethought in a meaningful way.
