The newly united Democratic Party is running on vibes but they are excellent vibes

Mr Secretary, the South's got something to say....

Was this communications playbook just sitting in a drawer somewhere at the DNC headquarters? 🤷‍♂️ There’s so much they’ve been doing in the last month which they could have started years ago. While I think there are dangers ahead for a campaign so memetically frothy, it makes me particularly sad to think about how Labour could have united around a centre-left agenda after the 2019 election. I fully accept the critiques of Biden’s foreign policy but he’s the closest thing America has had to a social democratic president in my lifetime (which admittedly is not very close), in a party in which the left now exercise mainstream influence. There are also lessons to be learned from the speed with which confident assertions of the inevitability of Trump’s victory have comprehensively unravelled, as has the mystique of the man himself.
