Summary
Gender bias played a significant role in Kamala Harrisās defeat, with many votersāoften womenāexpressing doubts about whether āAmerica is ready for a female president.ā
Some said they ācouldnāt see her in the chair,ā or questioned if a woman could lead, with one even remarking, āyou donāt see women building skyscrapers.ā Though some voters were open to persuasion, this often became a red line.
Oliver Hall, a Harris campaign volunteer, found that economic concerns, particularly inflation, also drove voters to Donald Trump, despite low unemployment and wage growth touted by Democrats.
Harris was viewed in conflicting ways, seen as both too tough and too lenient on crime, as well as ineffective yet overly tied to Bidenās administration.
Ultimately, Hall believes that Trumpās unique appeal and influence overshadowed Harrisās campaign efforts.
This is an incredibly important statement. Youāve perfectly summarized exactly how non-Harris voters felt. The opinions you share in here may or may not be true and the Lemmy population certainly doesnāt like hearing it, but this was the thought process that brought trump to office.
Frankly, the way to save America is to attack corporations. Regulate, regulate, regulate, put money back in the hands of the voters. Whoever does this has the vote.
Donāt even have to actually do itā¦ Trump sure as hell wonātā¦ Just have to say it
