This makes her “strategy” even more baffling than before. How do you know you are down the entire time and do absolutely nothing about policy?

    Because she didn’t want to win. The dems don’t want to make change they want to make money, and Trump and a right wing government will help them make the most money. They can pretend to huff and puff all they want but ultimately their stock portfolios will reap the rewards of this and that’s all they cared about from the beginning.

      Devils Advocate: Do people actually vote based on policy or is it more “vibes” and identity?

      The best weeks for Kamala’s campaign were when her running mate called Republicans weird. And then they dropped it a week later instead of doubling down on the only thing that moved the polls. Almost like they didn’t want to win 🤔

          it works: not once did the equal rights amendment make it into the debates; but project 2025 was bandied about plenty; now, in 2028, the democrats can use the i-told-you-so card and almost no one will know that the equal rights amendment has already passed all legal hurdles and is ready to be implemented today.
