I’ll probably tank it today, don’t worry.

Thanks for the conversation, appreciate it.

I think the issue is that the fix could be quicker. We all deserve that. We need big money out of political campaigns. We need to hold politicians accountable. We need our tax dollars to be an investment in social programs that benefit all of us. Tax the rich, invest in people.

Like, I’m with you. I’m just saying Harris lost because she didn’t speak to this as well as Gaza, as well as Medicare for all/universal healthcare. Dems have consistently fallen short of what folks keep saying they want to happen. I wasn’t surprised by the outcome but didn’t want Trump.

I’m not speaking for you. There are other people in the same situation who did vote for Trump based on this.

I voted for Harris. I can still be critical of her campaign while doing so.

…more with people who are living paycheck to paycheck. That’s a huge part of why Harris lost; you can’t beat Trump without addressing the cost of living (see also: Clinton, 2016). Telling people that “economics are good” when they can’t pay rent doesn’t cut it. Couple that with Gaza & here we are.

Look, I voted for Harris. And we should always be critical and hold politicians accountable for policies that are incongruous with our ethics. Dems have been shifting centrist/right for decades, and it should come as no surprise that someone talking about the price of gas & food would resonate…
