    Yeah, but read the article, look at the policies those people campaigned on, and google whether or not Harris also backed those economic policies. She did. She supported and ran on most of those policies.

    IMHO, this was probably more of an issue around how effective the candidates, and their opponents, were at getting the policies or “vibes” in voter’s minds.

      She supported and ran on most of those policies.

      She ran on “don’t do anything different from Biden” and “Look! We got Cheney’s endorsement!” and “shut up, the economy’s fine!”

        Of course they were taking it seriously. You can criticise the strategy, but clearly they took it very seriously.

        Yeah, just saying that the policies mentioned in the article were not what made those people win or made Harris lose. They basically had the same policies.

          I disagree, from the article those candidates had more anti-corporate policies that addressed the issue of cost of living. The closest thing Harris ran on was to crack down on Price gouging, which was/is one of her most popular positions, yet she also did not campaign enough on that front and contrasted it with housing deregulation
