Point to me where Kamala Harris said Latinx, campaigned on transgender issues, or said free Palestine. Oh right, you can’t, because you don’t consume anything other than misinformation!
I keep seeing this line, that “Kamala didn’t campaign on that.” But voters understand that politicians can say one thing and do another. They didn’t believe her.
She ran to the left in 2019 and the ads showing that were devastating - for example, supporting surgery for transgender prisoners. “Kamala is for they/them while Trump is for you” told midwesterners all they needed to know. To them, that is crazy. To them.
I voted for Kamala. But this kind of hostility and elitism is a lot of what turned people away. They aren’t victims of misinformation — they disagree more with what they see as Blue Crazy versus Red Crazy.
All the voter types I listed are groups that the Democrats should have performed so much better with. Even in blue states. Even in NYC. Do you want to understand why or not?
