As a fellow reluctant Harris voter, what upsets me the most is that the numbers people have run shows that no, actually, genocide was not the deciding factor in this election, which is kind of an indictment of America itself, but regardless, I’m sick of leftists being blamed when all the ones I know STILL voted Harris and the data shows that it wasn’t leftist that didn’t turn out, it was centrists. Harris didn’t have a voter base. Sure, some dems turned out, but she didn’t actually inspire people to vote, and that’s basically the only way dems win.
It’s because she has no message. All she could promise voters was stuff like “I’ll give you a little bit of money to help you get a house.” She was all flash and no substance.
*for first time homebuyers who have rented for at least 2 years without a late payment
Because there’s nothing that makes a proposal more popular than adding means-testing.
She had a message, it was “more of the same”; when asked what she would do differently from Biden her response wasn’t “Fuck this guy who spent the last 4 years doing fuckall, I would have defended abortion rights, appointed an AG who would have put Trump in prison and gone after Manchin and Sinoma, and any republican, a head of the DEA who would have unscheduled cannabis, etc”, she said the difference was that she would appoint a republican to the cabinet.
That promise for housing gets misquoted as well as what she actually offered was:
First generation homebuyers who no one in their family has ever owned a house, after paying rent in a government approved rental firm for 2 years could get up to $25,000. And stated starter homes would cost between $300,000 and $800,000 dollars depending on location.
She did have a point to ask Congress to pass legislation to slow people buying more than 50 single family homes.
This was lost to her wealthy advisors telling her to not go through with these plans as they would impact the investment opportunities of housing.
She barely even got to flash before the DNC tried to reign in anything that might change things.

Why blame the politicians with data and statistics on how to run a campaign when you can blame the voters who showed up?

100%
She could have read a laundry list of her First Week, Month intended actions and won over huge swaths of voters- if that was her strategy to win.
Instead she chose fuckall, which is exactly what Biden did for 4 years.
