That argument is stupid, because usually people need a reason to save for. Now rent is so high that people can barely save, and houses are so expensive that even if they do and get a credit with their staggering student debt, they’ll never be able to afford it.

So what do people do? they just enjoy the small things, because they know they’ll never have the big ones.

I think politics need to be interesting for people to vote. If the expected outcome is that everything only worsens a bit, you’ll never get people to vote for you. So by leaning right, she basically tried to appease the conservatives, but made progressives lose interest. I don’t think that anyone (or a substancial number) on the left tried to “own” her.

Hopefully there will be next elections, and hopefully there will be a party worthy of voting for it.

(Also disclaimer, I am not american, and am just objectively stating the obvious)

I am not blaming her for what is happening right now, I am blaming her for leaning too far right, and not being able to win with that.

Maybe Kamala shouldn’t have tried to take over the conservatives, and instead focussed on politics that matter. But I guess that worked out really good for her and the country!
