Do people not realize that David Shor, far from telling Democrats “what they don’t want to hear,” has prospered because he tells them EXACTLY what they want to hear?
“It’s not your fault you lose elections. Focusing on economics and avoiding controversy is correct. It’s the fault of BLM and ‘Defund the Police,’ and the best thing you can do is make them go away” - yes, these words definitely horrify the leaders of the Democratic Party.
Anyway, it’s sort of strange when you realize that m for all of its influence of his general worldview, Shor’s prescriptions are kind of… unclear. Let’s say you’re David Shor and you’re given full control of Cal Cunningham’s campaign. What do you do differently?
Shorism gives losing Democrats lots of outside agents to blame - the wokes on the streets, the wokes in the cities, the wokes on your own staff - but it doesn’t actually seem to give them any tools to win a campaign.
