Celebrities as Influencers - Harris Humiliation Signals End of That Era

 "Van Jones, a CNN contributor and former Barack Obama adviser, criticised the Harris campaign’s focus on celebrity-filled rallies." - Telegraph, November 6, 2024

As the Democratic Party and its front-line strategists and fundraisers start to regroup, the blame game has kicked in. 

What is obvious immediately is that ordinary people weren't influenced by the celebrity influencers. Those celebrities include former US progressive presidents such as Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. They couldn't connect with the 65% living paycheck to paycheck. Or with the over-65 who are in high angst about running out of money before they run out of years on planet earth. 

Were the Democrats caught up in only listening to the tenets of liberalism and out-of-touch with Main Street? Those celebrities embedded the campaign with a glam that had been unwelcome during these struggling scary times. 

In my coaching I hear the people voice their loss of faith in the economic system of capitalism. Explicitly they size things up as "Something is wrong." The reality they experience is employment insecurity and the celebrity glitz the Harris campaign depended was analogous to the "Let them eat cake" totally insensitive meme. 

The Trump campaign reached the working man and woman. The stock market - up over 1,200 points - anoints the new Administration as Morning in America. Let's just hope conservatives don't blow it.
