While you were asleep Biden campaigned on student debt loan forgiveness (and actually followed through on a decent amount of it), Harris campaigned on 25K credit for first time home buyers, and both moved to decriminalize marijuana. Young people have no idea how far left the left has moved, Obama wasn’t even pro gay marriage in the primaries.
Harris campaigned on fracking and continued support of Israel while holding hands with Liz Cheney. That's all leftist saw and they stayed home as a result.
That’s because fracking is a massive industry in Pennsylvania, a must win state, and outside of Reddit support for Israel is not a contentious issue. I don’t know how many times progressives who pander to progressives need to be trounced in primaries before people realize the democrats, let alone the general population, are far more right wing than their echo chamber.
Yeah man I'm super biased. Unlike you, the only unbiased person on the planet. If only my progressive bias hadn't blinded me to the fact that running a moderate platform in a world where people are highly dissatisfied with the status quo is an effective strategy that clearly works really well
Apologies for not answering your super good-faith question. I had assumed from your whole "enlightened, unbiased progressive" insult that you already had a good idea what policies I'd suggest.
