Major Democrat strategist James Carville, warned his fellow Democrats because they went woke, as we read in Fox News:

In his ongoing 2024 presidential election postmortem, Democratic Party strategist James Carville claimed that society’s woke “hangover” from 2020 came back to haunt Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, causing it to fail.

During a recent episode of his “Politics War Room” podcast, the former Bill Clinton adviser pointed to far-left ideas that were trending in 2020 – like the defund the police movement – and argued that voters’ association of those with Harris ended up hurting her campaign and the Democratic “brand” this election cycle.

“The hangover from the whole identity politics is haunting us til this day,” Carville declared, after citing polling data indicating that a majority of Americans saw Harris as left wing and rejected her.

…

He began his point by citing a poll finding late breaking voters thought Harris would support defunding the police, should she have won.

According to Blueprint, a public opinion research initiative designed to help the Democratic with election strategy, one of the top reasons voters rejected Harris this cycle was that she was perceived as too “focused on liberal cultural issues” rather than on issues helping the middle class.

Blueprint’s website stated, “Harris couldn’t outrun her past or her party— it was a vice grip that proved impossible to escape.”

Despite efforts this cycle to outrun liberal policy proposals she has supported in the past – like supporting Black Lives Matter/Defund the Police groups, and even pledging support for unpopular ideas like taxpayer funding for detained illegal immigrants’ sex changes – voters couldn’t disassociate them from her candidacy.
