The shambling corpse of the Harris-Walz campaign has sent out a clueless post-election survey asking supporters which of their rejected policies and tactics they should continue peddling “to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2025 and beyond.”
The campaign — which chewed through an astonishing $1.5 billion and wound up over $20 million in debt in just 15 weeks — even has the gall to conclude the quiz by passing the hat around for more cash.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ “Harris Fight Fund” is the intended beneficiary of the sly fundraising effort, which recently came under fire for shamelessly attempting to raise money to pay off election-related expenses — including some vendors it had stiffed for payments.
Questions on the survey take jabs at President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda, which voters resoundingly supported in the voting booths less than a month ago, delivering the first popular vote victory claimed by a GOP candidate in a generation.
“Which of President Trump’s priorities do you find most troubling?” the survey begins, asking respondents to choose among options like “enacting mass deportations,” “slashing taxes for the ultra-wealthy,” “gutting abortion access” and “attacking the fundamental rights of LGBTQ+ Americans.”
It goes on to ask how the Democratic Party can best hamper Trump’s agenda, meekly acknowledging they will be in the minority once the next Congress begins in January and including options like “blocking appointment of right-wing judges” and “protecting federal agencies,” ostensibly a reference to the nascent Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, set to be helmed by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Next it asks respondents to weigh in on “electoral issues and messages” Dems running for office during Trump’s second term should prioritize, followed by a dizzying list of vague, substance-free promises that failed to energize their base less than 30 days ago, including “creating good-paying jobs” and “making debt-free college a reality.”
The survey also asks how it can improve its outreach in future elections, including response options like “showing voters that Democrats care by volunteering in the community” and “focusing on messaging that connects with undecided voters.”
Lastly, it asks supporters what their “top priority” is, including choices like “fighting back against Donald Trump’s harmful agenda.”
It then cajoles respondents to “reaffirm their commitment to a strong Democratic Party and standing up to Trump” by “chipping in” with another donation (they suggest $50, but all amounts welcome), promising contributors their “grassroots support powers our party,” complete with an asterisk that has no corresponding footnote.
