    sigh this conversation was never worth the time. oh well. at least we’re past the ‘blahblah dont understand economics nonsense’ I’ll toss some final notes and then ignore you. =)

    1. my original point in this whole conversation is that the billionaire tax wasnt going to win votes. its a fine policy, I said that multiple times. but it wasnt going to win votes.
    2. no I didnt contradict myself, this is your reasoning/reading comprehension issue again. Harris lost because of her poor communication and poor policies. I didn’t say which policies were explicitly poor outside of pointing out the ones that explicitly didn’t address the main points I was making which is that voters care more about putting food on the table than taxing billionaires.

    Harris both failed to communicate effectively that she wasn’t a fucking inhumane monster over gaza, and that she actually understood americans needs economically. and as a result it doesn’t matter which of her actual policies were actually useful since she already lost people on all 3 of the base motivators: food, shelter, safety. if you fail those 3 issues you will have a hard time making a case for why people should vote for you.

    And if you don’t understand why harris absolutely needed to distance herself from bidenomics well frankly there is no hope for you at this point since it just goes back to food, shelter, safety.
