The Clintonian dynasty created this situation, because the worse the Republican candidate is, the less they have to promise—never mind deliver—to their constituency. How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy
Kamala’s entire campaign has been “I’m not trump”. Biden was the “nothing will fundamentally change” guy ffs it’s sickening
$$$
because when one side it rallying to go backwards the status quo starts looking pretty good.
First Past The Post voting artificially limiting the viable options in the voting booth means less competition. “Safe seats” and “swing states” shouldn’t exist, our legislators must be forced to compete.
I think we all understand what happens when all you have to do to win an election is be less shitty then the republican party. There is no floor, there is no bottom, and it ends in the destruction of the USA.
But I’m sure the democrats think these risks are worth taking so long as they don’t have to compete for your vote.
It’s not. Trump is quite vocal about his plans to “reform” healthcare.
Infrastructure week is coming to don’t forget! /$
Because it is very unlikely that the Senate will remain in Democrat hands, so the Harris campaign isn’t going to promise something she can’t get in a deal with Republicans?
They campaign on things that have no chance of passing all the time. Health care reform just isn’t popular with the median voter.
Health care reform is popular, expanding Medicare for dental and vision has 69% Republicans support, so does capping prescription drug prices and both of those have 75% support overall. Even more “out there” ideas like Medicare for all and eliminating medical debt have 62% support overall. It would be even higher if democrats actually campaigned on it and explained the benefits better. Health care reform is popular among people, it’s just not popular among the pharmaceutical and insurance companies that are giving millions to both sides.
