How? Did you listen to Harris' campaign speeches? I thought it was pretty focused on improving the working/middle class issues. What do you think she should have said more?

You're absolutely right that she did address the middle class/working class; however, she didn't really offer a comprehensive, coordinated policy. Specifically, she never talked about the economy holistically--it was a bunch of sound bites for specific interest groups. The problem is that Democrats are beholden to rich funders, so they are never able to articulate an economic policy that makes sense for middle class and working class families, because those policies work against the rich.

What?  What cohesive policy did Republicans put forward.  High tariffs? Which every economist and even company execs said out loud yeah we would pass that cost onto the consumer.  Redoing healthcare? With what we don’t know but that sure have been talking about it for 16 years.  Not to mention the 40years before that were prices just keep rising with nothing done.  Rich funders? Elon Musk was handing out million dollar checks at rallies but sure Republicans aren’t beholden to rich funders.  He was just doing that out of the kindness of his heart.

The problem isn’t that Democrats talk in soundbytes.  The problem is that many American people only listen to sound bites instead of listening to substantive policy discussion and doing research.

Hell last time Donald Trump told folks he was going to save their jobs and their own union president told them that was a lie and they didn’t even believe him. What happened the ?[/quote]

Yes, discussion and research is why they don’t agree with you. Hahahahahaha[/quote]

Then tell us oh wise one why they don’t agree.

Energy? Because yes Trump is somehow going to lower gas prices.  Prices that are already dropping.

Middle Class jobs? Doing what exactly… working on the smaller farm that are being gobbled up by larger ones. Working in automobile plants that they won’t accept have moved to Hybrid and EV technology. Forcing folks back into the office full time increasing the amount of money they spend in childcare and commuting cost.

Oh I know tax breaks because then corporation will raise wages.  Yet for some reason wages still don’t keep pace with rising cost  of goods and inflation despite companies already getting tax breaks.

No wait, he’s going to tackle Healthcare with the concept of a plan that been in work by his party for how many years now?[/quote]
