Key Takeaways:
- Kamala Harris’s underdog narrative: Harris frames her campaign as an underdog, despite polling better than Biden did before dropping out.
- Close race dynamics: The election is tight, especially in swing states, with Harris underperforming in key demographics compared to Biden’s 2020 performance.
- Trump’s flaws: Harris critiques Trump for his presidency’s economic policies, handling of the pandemic, and attacks on immigrant communities.
- Voter demographics: Harris struggles with voters of color, young voters, seniors, and union workers; Trump has significant working-class support.
- Arab American voters: Support for Harris has declined due to her stance on Gaza and unconditional support for Israel, leading to a potential loss of Arab American voters, especially in Michigan.
- Policy shifts needed: The article argues Harris should adjust her stance on Gaza, support a ceasefire, and condition U.S. arms to Israel, which could sway Arab American voters.
- Economic populism: Harris is encouraged to focus on class-warfare rhetoric and pro-working class policies, such as a $15 minimum wage, capping drug costs, and expanding Social Security, to win over lower-income voters.
- Youth voter engagement: There’s concern about low youth voter turnout and lack of outreach to young people of color, which could affect the election outcome.
- Final campaign stretch: Harris is urged to take bold steps on economic issues and appeal to working-class voters, similar to Biden’s approach in 2020, to secure victory in key states.
Everyone in the Bidem-Harris admin deserves to lose just for their genocide in Gaza. And anyone that defends them is a genocide apologist.
So then you agree that Trump deserves to lose too? He’s already stated that if re-elected he expects Israel to make the Gaza problem “go away” within a week.
Whataboutism rather than acknowledging the Biden-Harris responsibility for genocide also counts as tacit genocide support. Please do better.
Israel started the genocide before we sent them a dime, it’s not “our” genocide. Put the blame on Bibi and Likud where it belongs.
Deflection rather than acknowledging that one candidate is a blood-thirsty psychopath who sees an entire population as nothing more than a problem he wants to go away? Yeah I’m not the one who has a problem with reality.
My team good, your team bad 🤡
Don’t be dense, both teams are bad.
Yes fuck that great nepo baby… Neither deserve to win but one of them will always win. It is the feature of the system that permits real owners to control the political system and the state apparatus.
Until we get some kind of ranked-choice voting or another solution that allows people to make honest choices, then yes, the system is working exactly as they intended.
