The Kamala Harris campaign went all in on discussing Donald Trump’s threat to democracy. The problem: it was far out of touch with the issues at the forefront of most Americans’ minds.
One reason is that the talk of threats to democracy felt completely irrelevant to most people’s number-one concern going into the election: the economy, specifically the skyrocketing cost of living these past few years: groceries, housing, consumer goods, and more.
Oh they talked about the economy alright: they gaslit us about it for the last year, and the voters knew it, which is why they didn’t Pokémon go to the polls.
