    Ever since progressives started teaming up with democrats, democrats have been moving left.

    Yes, they’ve been reaching across the aisle because Russia has stated it was their goal to drive the two parties in America to extreme opposites so we can’t get anything done.

    Now China and Iran and North Korean bot farms are joining them and whether it’s intentional or not you are parroting their talking points.

    She didn’t tailor her message entirely to the middle class, youre making that up. Inflation is getting better, the federal reserve is the only one that can control that and it takes higher interest rates and time to accomplish. But that is easy for bad actors like republicans and yourself to misrepresent to anyone that doesn’t understand macro economics.

    Republicans won because democrats planned on taxing billionaires and billionaires countered by doing things like literally buying votes and you’re helping them out with you’re scapegoating.

      Thank you, this was the most quintessential liberal answer I’ve ever seen. You display a complete ignorance on how the Democrats drifted from their New Deal roots in the 80s and the Third-Way’s pivot to neoliberalism in the 90s, then attempt to frame my knowledge as foreign propaganda. You obviously never even listened to Harris stump speeches, but you feel confident in correcting me on how many times she brought up the working class vs. the middle-class. Then you follow it up by parroting the campaign’s talking point on inflation with no understanding of why it didn’t resonate with voters (inflation is down; that doesn’t mean prices go down; so what do you tell people other than, “inflation is better now, you’re fine”?) and trying to blame that failure on, “bad actors,” and people ignorant of macroeconomics (turns out people understand when their groceries cost more!). And then you top it off by blaming billionaires for buying the election, ignoring that Harris out-spent Trump 4 to 1. Seriously, thank you, I have the beginnings of a liberal-denial bingo card with this comment alone.
