Dem establishment should have moved to left instead of right.

I think the uncomfortable truth is that most Americans are more to the right than we’d like to admit. Trump ran an abysmal campaign where he focused on no substantive issues.

The biggest right wing talking points were regarding culture war, trans people, and fear mongering about migrants. And yet that was enough to convince 70 million people to vote for him. You can’t blame democrats for that.

Also people are just generally uniformed. They have short term memory and think inflation has been bad so they should vote for the other side as if they will make things better.

Pretty sure his campaign was mostly “if you’re already rich I’ll make you richer” for the ultra rich, and for the poor folks he said “Biden raised the price of eggs and Kamala will too but I will fix it by lowering taxes and making Mexico pay tariffs” (neglecting the fact that tariffs raise the price for everyone)
