    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!”

      This was my perception as well - I live in a deeply red state and what local coverage and ads I saw didn’t mention any of these policies.

      They kept the good stuff under wraps and tried to play it safe but not spooking anyone with “communism.”

      If I was an average American (obese, uneducated, easily frightened, provincial, and racist), I would not have been swayed to vote for Harris. Actually, the average American didn’t vote at all.

      T**** did a better job of giving the impression that he was going to do something to help the everyday American. It’s a total lie but one that’s hard to see through - if you’re an average American.
