Both things should have been said, the second thing is that it's also a joke, in general people don't understand these things, why is this good, and they easily believe lies
I agree, the Democrats ran a poor campaign talking about their love for Israel and their hatred of Trump. No social justice policies presented or at least not well articulated.
Exactly- remember when she shouted down pro-Palestinians protestors at a rally? This is what a lot of Dems miss- their party has no unifying message that people can rally around, like M4A or something like that
Because Trump is good? Yes.
For who you may ask.
He is gonna make the rich, richer. If you have a good job, and an already great salary, you are in for a TREAT!
Ive heard fascist prosecuters lie through their teetrh enough to lasty a lifetime. They always win in the m,ost inceraterated police state in the worl;d but nit this time.SHe so evil so bloodthoirtsty she made the biggest nazis in the world run to hide uo trumps ass
What does “prioritize” it mean? She had no plan for universal healthcare. This is what she does- she says what she thinks people want to hear but has no plan. Thats the whole point of what I said.
I love how people expect Democrats to have a perfect, well-explained plan, but, the GOP can just throw out "concepts of a plan" and it's absolutely fine. All expectations for Democrats, no expectations for Republicans.
I should say too, it’s not just Harris. Everyone knows Dems talk a big game but never do anything to improve the material conditions of the working class. New leadership is needed
And the child predator has materially improved conditions for the working class? His constant 45-47% approval rating proves the election had nothing to do with economics.
Wow. Wait until the Rs kill the ACA and the working class can no longer get coverage for pre-existing conditions and the cost of health insurance and care go through the roof.
Really? What about the ACA, The CHIPS & Science Act, The Infrastructure Bill, The Inflation Reduction Act and on and on. The Biden Admin got more done than most presidents and all WITHOUT MAGAt Republican support. They sure liked building projects coming to their states though. Fucking hypocrites.
There are plans for universal healthcare in every European country, you just have to pick one. France would be a good one for the US, basic healthcare from taxation with top up insurance from non-profits.
My man- this article is from 2019, when she ran last time and got nowhere. Her views have changed a tad since then, and it’s interesting as someone who supports her that you don’t know that
exactly. she says "ACCESS" to health care. that's the weasel word. it means less than nothing. that you have "access" to paying whatever insurance companies think you should be paying. and they are so careful to say it, every time.
The word access is used because in the beginning of this fight- all the pundits kept saying is you are being forced into this (remember the “death squads” they claimed were gonna happen if we all had access?) it’s easy to understand the use of that word- because choice is important
There seems to be an assumption here that her intentions were the problem. No. Americans have long been brainwashed to vote against their own interests. A good portion of Americans think Trump is killing it right now. “Trump bad” was a great warning! They also said HOW. Trump bad af! Forward!
JFC. Any information you could possibly ask for was on her website, INCLUDING the Project 2025 text, which OBVIOUSLY no Trash supporter was told about or ever bothered to research it if they did. Kamala is a professional. She doesn't do things half-assed.
Nobody has an exact plan, because by the time it goes through all the edits of legislation, it looks much different than one’s ideals. Obama was actually for universal healthcare, but could pass it without a lot of modifications. If it’s her priority, or anyone’s priority, it has a better chance.
Presidential candidates have their policy proposals on their website. Yes things change and concessions are needed, which is why it’s so galling that she won’t even endorse M4A as a starting point!
You think her saying that would have made Dems and liberals vote for her? Because that’s why she lost. Not because of MAGA. Almost the exact number voted for him in 2020 & 2024. More Dems/liberals voted for Biden in 2020 than for Harris in 2024
I think having a plan to overhaul things in workers favor would have helped, yes. But it’s also true that she is not a good politician and Bidens failure to step aside earlier to have a true primary probably doomed them. But it still comes back to Dems incompetence and the need for new blood.
If you want, read (or listen to) her book, The Truths We Hold. She is not only smart, she understands the struggle & how to alleviate it for working people. Things would have only continued to get better under a Harris/Walz admin. America fucked up big time by voting for a felon over a prosecutor.
They fucking did! You only paid attention to the right wingers mocking the left by "orange man bad."
Jan 6th? The two impeachments? Sharing of us-iran war plans? Secret calls to Putin? Project 2025? His advisors talking about making laws to protect them and hurt their enemies? Trumpcoin?
Are you for real? 🙄 Do you think the headline is lying about what she talked about? Here 👇 is part of that rally. You might try to go actually watch more of her rallies before claiming she didn’t address things. https://www.youtube.com/live/eikgiD72vD0?si=IiZWYGmSJrnTObK_
They did. The difference is that AOC has charisma AND she knows people who don't have medical insurance, get deported etc. Corporate Dems are disconnected from that world.
People like Trump/AOC understand politics so well, almost an instinct. Just look at the iconography of AOC in front of the flags, her clothes, look, etc. All very well thought out. Republicans spend 100s of mils running against her.
So you would have preferred that Harris talked about job opportunities, expanded human rights, lower healthcare costs, and raising the minimum wage than a warning that Trump will usher America into destruction?
Expanded human rights? She was unabashedly pro Israel. She had no plan to lower healthcare costs, she just said she’d do it. She was a weak candidate and Dems paid the price for not having a strong plan for how to make people’s lives better, other than some platitudes
So you're saying some people "platitude" better than others. And it seems like you've dismissed her policies without having actually read it. But even if she didn't achieve all the policies she outlined, she'd still be a whole lot better than Trump, who is dismantling America piece by piece.
It is not voters job to vote for Dems, it is the party’s job to convince them. I read her policies- nibbling around the edges when ppl are suffering won’t cut it, and until Dems figure that out they will continue to lose.
And so, those "you gotta earn my vote people," who were unable to tell the difference between someone who would actively do them harm vs someone who would do some good, will have to live with the consequence of their (non)vote. And so do we all.
Everyone should be a “you gotta earn my vote” person. I agree with you that Dems lesser of two evils, but people are tired of having two evils. How about a party who doesn’t take money from rich donors, and works instead on behalf of working class? AOC could be that change.
They didn't talk about that fuck. They were ALWAYS on message about: Joy, an Opportunity Economy, home buyer down-payment of $25K, new business start up of $50K, child care help, no more price gouging help, helping everyone succeed, & immigration reform to name a few. Were you under a rock?

I guess not.
What we do NOW is far more important.

Access to health care is, wait for it: Access to health care which means everything if you don't want to pay Wall Street for your health care.
Access to insurance is, again: Access to insurance which means nothing if you can't afford it.
