This is Econ 101. It doesn’t matter how many degrees you have if you don’t understand entry level concepts.
You keep speaking on behalf of all voters like you think you are psychically connected. lol. Inflation (which was caused by the pandemic and price gouging) and immigration are what motivated the people that voted according to the polls. Your feelings don’t matter here. Voters understanding of the causes for those problems are primarily based on the ads that republicans ran.
yes, and did harris run any ads remotely similar? no. she ran ads about ‘danger! danger! trump’ ‘the economy is banger!’ vs ‘the economy sucks and I’ll fix it’ trump ads. so stop thinking people dont understand economics because your reading comprehension and reasoning abilities suck.
seriously. try telling people the ‘economy is doing great! and im going to tax billionaires to fix your problems’ while they’re stuggling to get food/shelter/safety and see what they tell you. it’ll likely be ‘fuck off dumbass’ just like the voters did to harris. They. dont. care. about. taxing. billionaires. if. they. can’t. afford. food. econ 101.
You inserted yourself into a conversation I was having with someone else about how vocal Harris was about taxing billionaires to make a comment proving you don’t understand how taxes affect disposable income. Proving you don’t understand entry level economics.
She couldn’t run ads remotely similar because the brunt of the inflation was experienced under Biden’s term and the majority of Americans didn’t understand the causes so they just believe the ads.
Democrats lost because leftists didn’t vote, the economy had to recover from the pandemic under Biden, the repbublican propaganda was as strong as ever and the billionaires pulled strings to make sure they were not taxed according to the plan Harris campaigned on.
You inserted yourself into a conversation
yup its called a public forum welcome. didn’t want people calling out your nonsense should have done it privately.
a comment proving you don’t understand how taxes affect disposable income.
I absolutely understand how they effect disposable income. do you realize her tax policy would only fractionally mitigated the loss of spending power americans have lost over the last 4 years? first off 1 part of her policy is a child tax credit. many americans don’t have children. so this would not impact them. The 2nd part was a tax credit. which means people won’t get it anything from either idea until the they file for tax returns. that doesn’t fucking help them pay for food/shelter the rest of the year. If you made 60k a year the child tax credit would barely touch 10%. Americans lost 22% of their purchasing power due to inflation.
She couldn’t run ads remotely similar because the brunt of the inflation was experienced under Biden’s term and the majority of Americans didn’t understand the causes so they just believe the ads.
she absolutely could have. she could absolute on day one said ‘yeah we didn’t get what we needed done economically, I’m going to push for things that actually increases americans income.’ but she didn’t remotely go anywhere close to this.
so in summary: harris had a shit policy and shit ads if her goal was to convince americans she was going to make them financially more secure. trump didn’t (ad wise, policy wise hes far worse). she lost.
its not a voter problem when you don’t have good policies or good communication skills. though I suspect given your constant nonsense about me not understanding economics because I called out the nonsense of a 1%er tax not actually addressing the immediate needs of the populace, not to mention she doesn’t even have a proposed tax for them just she wont raise taxes for those making <400k, as absolutely bollocks not communicating well is pretty much your forte.
