Bernie talking that shyt :sas2: or is this low key :mjpls:

"Working class" is often used as coded language for racist white individuals.

Additionally, initiatives like $25,000 for first-time homebuyers, $8,000 for newborns, student loan debt forgiveness, and lower medication costs all support the working class. How could Harris and Walz not be running on a working-class agenda?

It's a lazy take because you don't know why she lost and why the party lost the senate. The identity/race angle isn't why they lost. The cost of living is high. Inflation is high. Period. That's all people cared about. It's as simple as that. Period.
I do know why she lost. White people picked themselves the senate was lost for the same reasons. You can believe their lies they say this everytime they do some fukk shyt. The economy was trash towards the end of trump term too. And my whole point was 74% and 69% means alot of those divestors and pawgers are married to and have children with a man or woman who actively chose someone who hates minorities

Most people putting boots to ground working are not going to be helped by 25k for a home if they have no savings to get a house at all. 8k for a newborn is nothing considering the long term costs, especially if you are barely breaking even to begin with. Student loan forgiveness not only does not matter if you did not go to college, but is fukked up for you to pay for someone else's debt.

They spent more time talking about the stock market and other economic factors that the average American does not take part in or care about, when they just want food prices to go down.

This is about to be a landslide. Would Biden have done any worse? We have to ask the question.
Biden would of lost as well. People do not seem to realize how bad Gaza was for the Democrats. You can't be the "lesser of two evils" concerning a fukking genocide. If this was any other person running for Republicans i would of voted third party at the presidential level, but there were a lot of people that did not care and either voted not for Harris or not at all.

25k towards of home you can't afford for the most part, 8k for newborns aint doing shyt for families or promoting family creation when you factory the single mother states (a mom and child is not a family), Student loan forgiveness as you mentioned = paying someone else debt especially when folks drowning in debt for useless degrees

Messaging was their biggest problem. They let Republicans take control of their messaging with all of the misinformation.
A strong labor campaign was needed if the biggest complaint was the economy/inflation.
Dems leaned too much on identity politics

I think that is part of the misinformation campaign and it worked. Kamala failed to dispell that, and it costed her in the end.

Inflation is low, its around 2-3% which is the target for the fed reserve to maintain a healthy economy. But the population still thinks its high because prices are high. But thats because manufacturers and companies are still charging premium rates for everything as if inflation was booming....because they can. Part of her platform was to crack down on that, but she never really explained it well. So the message went nowhere.

The economy is great right now, however.
