Kamala ran a weak campaign. She shouldn't have bragged about expanding oil production and she shouldn't have supported fracking.
But she was making home ownership easier with her first home subsidy, which reduces demand for rentals and reduces rents. And her government invested a billion dollars into renewables.
People refused to vote for Harris, because they said Harris wouldn't fundamentally change anything. Harris's campaign slogan was "we can't go back", but voters didn't believe her. They wanted change.
Donald Trump promised change and he got the votes.
The non voters who said they wanted change got what they asked for. Now they live in a fascist dictatorship.
Some people think blame is a limited resource. It's not. Three groups are to blame for the election result:
- The DNC including Harris who didn't change enough.
- The people who voted for Trump or who didn't vote at all because they wanted change.
- The people who voted for Harris, but spent all their free time spreading anti-Harris propaganda. Words have consequences. The non-voters didn't decide Harris was bad on their own. Somebody told them so.
