I mean Harris' policy did explicitly address most of the concerns everyday Americans have but the overwhelming majority of them, including apparently you, don't have any idea what her actual policies were, they just repeat what fox news told them to think.
I followed her campaign closely. The only policy she had was a first time homeowner credit that was written so almost no one would qualify for it, and it would have only served to bid home prices up even further.
And clearly Harris's policies did not meet the concerns of everyday Americans, as she lost to one of the least qualified candidates in American history.
I know this is very painful to accept. But Trump actually spoke more to the issues of the American people than Harris did. Compare the messages:
Trump: I will improve your standard of living by deporting millions of brown people. This will ease the housing supply and tighten the labor market, thereby helping the average white person.
Harris: you're imagining the inflation you're experiencing. I don't give a fuck about your opinions on Gaza; your voice doesn't matter. Vote for me unless you want the Nazi to win.
And then people wonder why she lost. Trump actually talked to the needs of the average voter. He had a concrete plan on how to help his base. That plan was evil and abominable, but he actually made a compelling case. Kamala didn't even try.
It turns out "I don't give a shit about you, vote for me or the Nazi will win" is a strategy you can only pull so many times. It's been the Democratic campaign message for every election for my whole adult life. And at this point it's lost all effectiveness.
The real problem was that you can't run on the other guy being a Nazi after your side just refused to bring them to justice. Biden ran on "the other guy is a Nazi." But once in power, he didn't treat them like you're supposed to treat Nazis. His campaign message was that Trump was a unique threat, but he treated them like ordinary political opposition once he was in office.
Actions speak louder than words. Harris tried to run a campaign that was directly countered by Biden's actions for the last four years. What was the average voter supposed to conclude but that Democrats were lying about Trump being a Nazi?
This is a condemnation of the average American. We failed an open book test and here you are saying it's not our fault. Yeah buddy it is.
I think you just like blaming voters. You're demonstrating the same political proclivities as a Republican who blames the homeless for being homeless. After all, poor people should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, right? If they're poor, it's their own fault. Why consider any other factors when we could just call lazy people lazy?
Are you fuckin high? Of course it's the voters and non voters fault.
Liberal (n): a human being that believes voters should have none of the power of and all of the responsibility for elections.
Are you saying we don't have elections like what the fuck are you on kid?
No one voted for Kamala to be the candidate. So why are you blaming voters?
Spoken like someone who doesn't have to shop for their own groceries.
I haven’t watched Fox News since the early 90’s. Wanna cool up a new fantasy about who I am again? It’s very entertaining for me.
I assume people that repeat stupid republican bullshit are stupid republicans. This seems like a you problem.
Saying “I disagree with weak neoliberal policy instead of progressive reforms” is republican now. Interesting. Thanks for the entertainment!
Then what's your excuse?
My excuse for what?
for being a copy paste bot for stupid republican bullshit
Wait, what? What republican talking point?
