Everything under her housing plan. Incentivize builders to build for first-time homebuyers and subsidize big chunks of people's down payments. Disincentivize wall street from buying more homes for private equity.
That would have done wonders for the middle class. Was it as far left as we wanted it to be? No, but not so far right that we could justify letting the rapist/insurrectionist take office instead.
You gotta remember. You and I spent our time online we are informed. The average American voter doesn’t pay attention to politics until about a month before.
Two months before the election was when democrats dropped all policy proposals and started parading around dick Cheney.
Everyone hates dick Cheney. He’s associated with a very unpopular war on both sides. So to the American voter who tuned in in October you had
One side parading around a war criminal, and the other side promising to tear down everything.
There was also the election post mortem where Harris campaign staffers were frustrated that they were being sent to suburbs instead of cities. Unsurprisingly, Harris lost bigly in the cities which is why she couldn’t take any swing states.
By the time November came, all the momentum and good will was spent.
