    Harris’ support of genocide was a very bright line for many voters they would not cross.

    Hell, how could I, with a straight face, ask my Palestinian neighbor to vote for her?

      Because one of them was going to be president, neither would do anything different regarding Israel, and there are many other issues to vote for or against.

        Oh you mean like the economy, that Harris was telling everyone was great?

        I’m sure that rung true with voters facing food insecurity, or losing their home…

          The economy was improving. The problem was that people confuse the economy with their income. Income inequality has been a growing problem for decades. Biden and Harris actually did quite a bit to fight this by putting caps on medicine costs, pushing for school debt forgiveness, the child tax credit, and dozens of other programs which Trump is already dismantling.

                So, the economy has nothing to do with incomes and cost of living for the working class, which means everything she championed how great the economy was, she was taking to her supporters, our oligarchs?

                You see how that is worse than just being tone deaf, right?
