The Pelosi interview is honestly batshit insane. She doesn't see the election as a rejection of the party, thinks the Democrats are doing well, Kamala Harris did everything right, Sanders is wrong, and then she made some backhanded comments about how Biden should have dropped out earlier. I know some of that is spin she that she has to say, but it's still deeply out of touch.
She presented her message of 'vote for me to keep things the same' flawlessly. Unfortunately, people who live paycheck to paycheck don't want things to stay the same.
They're looking forward to wishing they were able to live paycheck to paycheck...
Lord knows you're looking forward to watching people suffer just so you can lecture harder.
Scolding voters into voting for someone who represents no deviation from an untenable status quo has failed, very publicly, twice. It doesn't matter how bad the opponent is. This strategy is shit. Stop using it. Learn, damn you all. Learn.
I voted for Harris.
Me too and I wasn't saying that I'm looking forward to it....I'm saying the economics are going to be horrible and we're going to long to these times back.
Yeah, if Trump pulls the stuff he said he'd pull (Tariffs and mass deportations), then the supply of goods inside the country will fall drastically, resulting in stronger inflation. Which will then result in consumption of anything nonessential to collapse. This will lead to increasing unemployment.
While that is why will likely happen, most voters aren't knowledgeable enough to recognize it. They don't know what tariffs are or how it'll effect us, for example. They trust the media to tell them the truth, which is horribly misguided.
Nope. Her plan was "I am going to lower taxes on the middle class and provide additional help n these specific ways". But she presented that plan in a very flawed way.
That you were not aware of her actual message is partly your fault and partly her fault.
No, it's her fault.
It's not.. I was aware of her 82 page economic plan. How come you weren't aware of it? It's your fault that you weren't aware of her economic plan while people like me were aware of it. If I did you then you could have done it.
Informing the electorate of the plans is the job of the candidate.
Harris did inform us of her 82 page economic plan. I wouldn't have known about her plan otherwise. You just were not paying attention. That is primarily your fault. Although it is partly the media's fault also.
If a candidate's campaign doesn't work, it's always the candidate's fault.
It's not. There is no way Harris could have personally come to your house and tell you to start paying attention to the real world of reality. That doesn't scale.
Maybe the reason Harris lost was because she had people like you running her campaign.
Maybe the reason why Harris lost is because people didn't understand they were screwing themselves and not Harris by not voting for Harris. The media ALWAYS buries the important stuff, so that their billionaire owners can score gigantic GOP tax cuts for the rich. That's why you have to work extra hard to know what is really going on.
The problem is that you thought the media was going to tell you the important stuff. They don't do that because they serve the wealthy elites, not you.
Honestly, fuck Pelosi. Completely out of touch. I wish we could ride ourselves of these dinosaurs.
Now this is ~~podracing~~ politics!
