If Harris Loses Today, This Is Why (jacobin.com)

To win working-class voters — and possibly today’s election — Democrats need to attack economic elites. But the Kamala Harris campaign hasn’t consistently offered an anti-elite counter to Donald Trump’s right-wing populism.

I don’t think it works. People voted for Trump because he is the economic elite. They believe that just because he’s a businessman, he’s going to make good economy.

Democrat voters and Republican voters are different. As I'd like to hope the DNC learned today, you can't win democrat votes with Republican policy.

Yeah, but you don't understand. It's Kamala's turn. she deserves it.

-That strategy has never failed the Democrat party before.

All the downvotes forget that she promised to seek the democrat nomination, and then was essentially selected 12 hours later after only discussion with likes of Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries (aka party leaders). Source, but if you call that clearly fascist move what it is you’re the bad guy.
