I think your boogeyman leftist who scolds people who wanna vote Harris had a marginal to no effect on the results.

In my opinion people who vote Trump are of course racist and misogynist but also desperate for change. And I think they are stuck in Republican media that tells them Trump doesn't really wanna infringe women's rights that much and immigrants are roving the country, wrecking communities. They are stuck with sky high cost of living with no change in their wages for decades and to them Trump will bring change to the system, I don't know why but apparently they do. And his solution is outlaw being different. You and I know that's not a solution to anything, but they buy it.

I believe their plight is real, although their world view about other people and what the real problem is has nothing to do with reality. But Democrat messaging amounts to "everything is fine, we'll keep everything the same" and nobody believes that. Harris has some good policies that she brought up once or twice, but for the most part she goes with the 50k home loan if you've been a good kid thing. That won't change shit for people who aren't even close to buying a house. Lead your campaign with anti price gouging policies for example if you want to campaign with something people want and understand. I could go on a rant about catering to right wing voters as well and how it's a stupid strategy.

The problem people like you seem to have is your belief that people are only obligated to vote Kamala and that you expect them to have the same level of trust in the Democratic party as you. They aren't and they don't. The party establishment insist that the number say the economy is growing therefore everyone is fine. Is that really the vibe that people are feeling?
