Candidates are still stuck in 2020 while their voters have already left the room

Original version ·

It turns out the base is tired of reliving the past, even if the politicians haven't got the memo yet.

A whole bunch of GOP candidates are running their campaigns like it's still late 2020. They are doubling down on the same election fraud claims that Donald Trump made famous. They really think this is still the winning ticket.

But there is a bit of a disconnect happening. While the candidates keep harping on the past, the actual people showing up to vote are increasingly over it. The voters are literally trying to move on to literally anything else, while the politicians are still screaming at a ghost.

It is a bold strategy to ignore the people who are actually holding the ballots. Most voters just want to talk about literally anything other than the last election results.
