Why she deserved to lose: Gaza genocide

Why she actually lost: voters inappropriately blaming democrats for the high inflation in 2021-2023

  • (it wasn’t really Biden’s fault or the democrats’ fault, it was a global issue and pretty much every country has dealt with high inflation in the last few years. The US’s inflation has been about average internationally, maybe even a bit lower than average.)

Why this sucks:

  • since Gaza protest voters weren’t actually a difference maker, there’s not as much opportunity for us to agitate about it as we would’ve liked. Liberals will probably be dismissive of the argument that Harris lost because of her position about Gaza, and they’ll be right; it just doesn’t really hold up.
  • the liberal smugness about ignorant voters that we’re surely going to see in the next few weeks is… actually kind of correct.

Let me know if you think I’m wrong about any of this. I’d kind of like to be wrong, honestly.

    I would probably also add on that they did nothing to seperate her from brandon and the average voter probably hates him now even more than they hate her.

    Also if they continue to insist on running on being diet Republicans they need to run a ticket with a white man as the president and probably a man as the VP too. At this rate Ivanka is probably gonna be the first woman to be president of the US.
