The Kamala Harris campaign went all in on discussing Donald Trump’s threat to democracy. The problem: it was far out of touch with the issues at the forefront of most Americans’ minds.
One reason is that the talk of threats to democracy felt completely irrelevant to most people’s number-one concern going into the election: the economy, specifically the skyrocketing cost of living these past few years: groceries, housing, consumer goods, and more.
Oh they talked about the economy alright: they gaslit us about it for the last year, and the voters knew it, which is why they didn’t Pokémon go to the polls.
Didn’t everyone know that Trump’s plans for massive tariffs will make the economy even worse, and most local prices go even higher? Or are we going back to Trump waving his magical minuscule tax break to make everyone forget about why the prices went up in the first place?

Voters didn’t stay home because of Trump’s lies, they stayed home because of the Democrats’ lies.
you needed to capitalize Go in Pokémon Go to the polls
pedantic, yes, but critical to the preservation of the statement
