IIRC she had outlined some policies in her platform that would have helped with that.

    Her and her flying monkeys also gaslit the American people. There was very much a "speak no evil, hear no evil" head-in-the-sand attitude to her whole campaign. The campaign, and liberals on social media, just kept blindly parroting the official CPI figures. They would scream down and downvote to oblivion anyone who dared go against the party line, pointing out the well known flaws of the CPI measurement.

    Liberals believe in manifesting. It's the "power of positive thinking" taken to the extreme, into the realm of toxic positivity. Their belief system is that if you believe a thing hard enough, and if you prevent anyone from saying anything to the contrary, the universe will conspire to make your desired reality come into being. If you shout down any negative criticism, you will win.

    That's what the Harris campaign was like. It was horribly flawed. It had a number of campaign positions that made Harris completely unelectable. They tried to vibe their way to victory. Unfortunately, manifesting isn't real, and they smacked right into the hard unyielding wall of reality.

    There was essentially no policy to help with cost of living. That's what I'm trying to point out. That was one of the bullshit policies she was running with. And I fuckin voted for her lol

    I did, too. It was the first time I had ever voted to keep someone else out of the chair. So stupid

    well policy wise, she did talk about praying and loving her glock. Centrists like to pretend that never happened. She could reach out to the republican-lites about what they wanted to hear but she had not a single care for the priorities of the massive number of progressive voters. And for all that bending over to the "independents" she got almost nothing for the effort and lost massively from her base voters.

    Clearly the DNC plans to try that again, and they will lose again. To Rubio, Shapiro or eric trump ..or someone else who is almost comically unqualified and impossible to lose to.
