Political Memes

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?
