Harris only received five percent of Republican votes — less than the six percent Joe Biden won in 2020 when he beat Trump, as well as the seven percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 when she lost to him. While Harris won independents and moderates, she did so by smaller margins than Biden did in 2020.

Meanwhile, Harris lost households earning under $100,000, while Democratic turnout collapsed. Votes are still being counted, but Harris is on pace to underperform Biden’s 2020 totals by millions of votes.

    Yes, but the left never shows up. If they can’t show up for their own human rights, they will never never never show up. The Dems will never, ever put themselves into a situation where they rely on the left voters ever again, because they never show up. Harris said she’d tax the rich, and the left didn’t show up.

    Ignoring the economy is never a winning strategy

    I have no idea how you are missing what I’m saying. The economy is center policy. Yes yes yes. The Dems will go hard on the economy for the center voter. They will follow Bill Clinton’s “it’s the economy, stupid”. That’s how Bill Clinton won, by going to center. That’s what the Dems will do in the future, focus on the economy to win the center voter. Again, that is center policy, not left.
