    When the actual economy is good, voters like a pro corporate government because they’re reaping some of the rewards.

    When “the economy” which only cares about stock prices is the only thing doing well, voters don’t like corporations because nothing is even trickling down for them anymore.

    For some reason Biden and Kamala insisted on saying that the economy was great.

    All Kamala had to do was ovary up and say she disagreed with Biden on some topics, and she believed she could improve the country more in four years than Biden had in his. She could have even thrown out a “thanks to a good starting point” if she wanted to play nice.

    Instead she literally said she wouldn’t have done anything different, and then acted shocked when people treated her as just as liable for Biden’s mistakes.

    She ran with Biden, the smart move was to frame it as her running against Biden to undercut trump’s message as the anti-establishment candidate.

    The voters have been pretty clearly telling the DNC that they want a different sort of candidate since 2016.

    And since 2016, the DNC, more concerned with keeping the corporate soft money flowing than with actually winning elections, has refused to listen.
