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.

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 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.
yup its called a public forum welcome. didn’t want people calling out your nonsense should have done it privately.
The convo was about whether or not Harris campaigned on taxing billionaires. All you did was change the subject to argue about something you repeatedly proven you don’t understand. Just like you are now proving you did not understand the topic of the convo.
do you realize her tax policy would … mitigated the loss of spending power americans have lost over the last 4 years?
Yes that was the point you have been arguing against this whole time. Thanks for finally admitting you are wrong.
Americans lost 22% of their purchasing power due to inflation.
This is controlled by the federal reserve. Not the president. Thanks for again proving you dont understand basic economics.
she could absolute on day one said 'yeah we didn’t get what we needed done economically’
How can you be so stupid that you don’t see how this would be used against her? You must be trolling. No one is that stupid.
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.
Look at how you contradict yourself. You say Trump had worse policy but he won. But claim that Harris lost because of her policy. Maybe you think Trump is a good communicator. You’re incoherent rambling sounds just like him.
sigh this conversation was never worth the time. oh well. at least we’re past the ‘blahblah dont understand economics nonsense’ I’ll toss some final notes and then ignore you. =)
- my original point in this whole conversation is that the billionaire tax wasnt going to win votes. its a fine policy, I said that multiple times. but it wasnt going to win votes.
- no I didnt contradict myself, this is your reasoning/reading comprehension issue again. Harris lost because of her poor communication and poor policies. I didn’t say which policies were explicitly poor outside of pointing out the ones that explicitly didn’t address the main points I was making which is that voters care more about putting food on the table than taxing billionaires.
Harris both failed to communicate effectively that she wasn’t a fucking inhumane monster over gaza, and that she actually understood americans needs economically. and as a result it doesn’t matter which of her actual policies were actually useful since she already lost people on all 3 of the base motivators: food, shelter, safety. if you fail those 3 issues you will have a hard time making a case for why people should vote for you.
And if you don’t understand why harris absolutely needed to distance herself from bidenomics well frankly there is no hope for you at this point since it just goes back to food, shelter, safety.
