    It’s popular in blind surveys. Once they say it’s a Dem idea, support craters. Chalk that up to whatever you want, it won’t win Dems an election.

    Disaffected center will go for center policy. While we see through Trump, this is what I think won Trump both elections.

      No part of Harris’s campaign can be thought of as ‘left’. She ran on right-of-center foreign policy and center neo-liberal economic policy.

      People are hurting from inflation and decades of wage stagnation and wealth disparity, and the democrats have no answer for that except means-tested bullshit.

        She didn’t run a left platform exactly, BUT she relied on the left coming out to support their own fucking human rights and mfing democracy. She was very clear on that and it was a big part of her time. That they can’t even do that, well that means they will never show up for literally anything. That means the Dems will never, never, never rely on the left coming out ever again. Kiss any left policy goodbye. Dems will run on “it’s the economy, stupid” because yes we agree this was won on inflation and housing.
