Kamala Harris Will Lose - Yasmin Nair
Kamala Harris Will Lose - Yasmin Nair
I know this goes against the popular narrative about Kamala Harris, especially after the recently concluded Democratic National Convention (DNC). But I think she is headed for a loss, and that we may well see a repeat of 2016. I thought of adding “probably” to the title, but matters are pretty stark...
She's making the same mistakes Hillary did i.e. ignoring the Democratic base to appeal to moderate Republicans.
@queermunist @chobeat Not sure that's a big deal in this election, that election she was up against a loud mouthed television star that she didn't think anyone would elect, this election, we know what's coming, so you can largely bank on Democrats voting for her.
Nuh uh
Pretty core difference that Hilary was a moderate that had to try to win over the left. Harris is a progressive that has to try to win over the middle.
Thinking you can be a progressive that wins on progressivism alone with no coalition building or winning over anyone else only gets you the percentage of total American voters that are progressive, and is a recipe for defeat. There just aren't enough of us that ascribe to the whole platform.
Of course she may lose, but articles like this are useless. Would be nice if people who claim to want her elected would stop doing Republicans work for them.
She has numerous policies, some of which are:
- Working to stop companies from price gouging.
- Working on a cease fire in the Middle East.
- Increasing the child tax credit for new parents
- Bringing back first time homebuyer’s tax credit.
- Returning to a higher corporate tax rate.
- Working to get prescriptions much more affordable for everyone.
- Working to get abortion rights codified in law.
And people seem to have a very short memory about how they tackled COVID (which of course is still around, but is far less dangerous now than it once was), inflation, and jobs.
I sure wish people would stop acting like she has no policy ideas and plans when she has explained many of them, multiple times.
All it requires is listening. And therein lies the problem.
But yeah, let’s write up an article that is effectively Fox News propaganda and act like it’s not.
What the CDC kept trying to wish away as merely a “summer surge” is now a full-on wave, because COVID never went away...
The People’s CDC...
The People’s CDC is a CDC watchdog, and a public health advocacy and health justice group. Structured as a coalition of volunteer-run cooperative teams, we work to end the COVID pandemic for everyone, to expand the social safety net, and to build the robust public health infrastructure we all deserve.
Huh, TIL
A key mistake that the Clinton campaign made, was ignoring the Midwest because they thought they had it in the bag. The Harris campaign is not repeating that mistake. One could argue that was one of the largest contributors to the loss.
