Honestly call or email the Democratic party offices and voice that you one hundred percent agree with Sanders.

The Pelosi interview is honestly batshit insane. She doesn't see the election as a rejection of the party, thinks the Democrats are doing well, Kamala Harris did everything right, Sanders is wrong, and then she made some backhanded comments about how Biden should have dropped out earlier. I know some of that is spin she that she has to say, but it's still deeply out of touch.

Kamala Harris did everything right

She presented her message of 'vote for me to keep things the same' flawlessly. Unfortunately, people who live paycheck to paycheck don't want things to stay the same.

They're looking forward to wishing they were able to live paycheck to paycheck...

Lord knows you're looking forward to watching people suffer just so you can lecture harder.

Scolding voters into voting for someone who represents no deviation from an untenable status quo has failed, very publicly, twice. It doesn't matter how bad the opponent is. This strategy is shit. Stop using it. Learn, damn you all. Learn.

I voted for Harris.

Me too and I wasn't saying that I'm looking forward to it....I'm saying the economics are going to be horrible and we're going to long to these times back.

Yeah, if Trump pulls the stuff he said he'd pull (Tariffs and mass deportations), then the supply of goods inside the country will fall drastically, resulting in stronger inflation. Which will then result in consumption of anything nonessential to collapse. This will lead to increasing unemployment.

While that is why will likely happen, most voters aren't knowledgeable enough to recognize it. They don't know what tariffs are or how it'll effect us, for example. They trust the media to tell them the truth, which is horribly misguided.

Nope. Her plan was "I am going to lower taxes on the middle class and provide additional help n these specific ways". But she presented that plan in a very flawed way.

That you were not aware of her actual message is partly your fault and partly her fault.
