The economy, stupid - Why Kamala Harris lost

Six weeks ago, I thought Harris was a shoe in. Six days ago, it was clear to me that Trump would win. Harris blew it. Why? To quote Former President Bill Clinton, The Economy, Stupid. The Democrats are historically the party of the blue collar workers, the lower middle classes, the workers. The people on the sharp edge of the economy, who suffer when times are bad. This is the core of the democrat vote. They want a candidate who talks about their problems. Whilst issues such as 'reproductive rights' are important, they are not what talks to the Democrat core. In the rest of the world, we see Trump very differently to the average American. They see him as a 'regular Joe'. They see him as a guy they could have a beer with and watch Baseball. They see him as successful and decisive. His message is simple "Make America Great Again". He talks about putting America first. Harris never addressed this. How can you hope to be become President when that's your opponents pitch and you have no catchy riposte? You might not like it but he ordinary Joes voted with their pockets. Biden won in 2020 as Trump was running on his record, which was awful. Kamala Harris wasn't associated with Bidens successes and Trump successfully painted her as the author of the regime's failures. That's how election in democracies work. Whether you like it or not, Trump won and he will be the President in January. Its not the end of the world, we had four years already of him and we survived. My Dad gave me one bit of important advice. Things are never as bad, or as good as you think they are at the time.
