There was no "tax the rich" candidate this election. Failing that, people voted for change.

There were several. Why didn't these hypothetical single-issue Trump supporters vote for Cornel West or Claudia de la Cruz if their priority is narrowing the income gap? Even Harris promised to implement at least a billionaire tax.

Because they understand just as well as we do that the way our voting system is set up means you have two options, and anything else is throwing your vote away.

Harris offered a few progressive scraps and then proudly showed off endorsements from the fucking Cheneys. People wanted real change. They're going to get it, for better or for worse.
