    You’re learning the wrong thing

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/30/harris-trump-economic-proposals-poll

    Kamala Harris’s economic policies proved far more popular than Donald Trump’s plans in a blind test of their proposals.

    https://www.levyinstitute.org/publications/trump-wins-while-americans-vote-for-progressive-policies/

    This was not a loss on policy. This was not a loss on ideas.

    This was a propaganda war, people were lead to fear the Democratic party and were convinced Trump was a good businessman.

    People said they voted for Trump due to the economy, while every economic policy they liked when presented it without a name attached came from Kamala. They HATED Trump’s ideas when his name wasn’t attached.

    Stop teaching yourself the wrong lesson. Get prepared to fight the propaganda, don’t join the infighting.

        Listen to her speak, she is actually really good at presenting her policies, the issue is nobody will pay attention to her and she won’t lie to get the attention she feels she needs like Vance has stated he does. Remember during the 2024 election cycle when she literally had to chase down reporters? There are endless examples of her walking up to the press and trying to discuss policy just for them to shut her down without a chance to speak… meanwhile those exact same people were doing anything to be the 9 trillionth person to report on whatever nonsensical blatant lies and hate were spilling out of Trump’s mouth at the time.

        And all of that aside…how in the fuck are you going to claim somebody lost to Trump because they were bad at presenting policy? Trump has the poorest speaking abilities of anybody in the entire history of US politics, same with his displayed understanding of policies, laws, governmental structure, constitutional framework, etc. He is literally the absolute worst we’ve ever had at all of the things you say are the reasons the other side lost.
