Say your going to tax the billionaires at 50% and use that money to pay for Healthcare and child care, don't cozy up to them so you can raise another billion dollars to lose another election .

That was basically Harris' tax plan.

It doesn't matter what your platform is if it's not communicated effectively to the median voter

How do you communicate effectively to someone with their fingers in their ears screaming nananananananana? Please advise, oh political oracle.

You go on Joe Rogan for one. Kamala ran the last presidential campaign that will ever rely so heavily on the legacy media apparatus. This whole cycle proved that they are only broadcasting to themselves and real people are elsewhere on podcasts, twitter and YT.

She did go on Call Her Daddy.

With all the fucking TV ads and mailers the campaign spent billions on. If the average voters is just covering there ears then why spend so much on advertising or why even campaign at all? Yeah some people are like that but they're deep in the maga cult, there's still a large amount of people open to both sides if the messaging is right that decided this election. Harris' messaging didn't work though.

I mean the marketing was effective. A lot of people including Donald trump thought he was going to lose. Just not effective at getting people who support Biden to get off their ass.

Ah yes, now that you made fun of the prior commenter, we have convinced the world and now Kamala is president?

Bernie is fucking right.

You lumped a huge percentage of people as putting their fingers in their ears.

Maga is going to vote maga. And there's a huge chunk that didn't vote or were surprised Biden dropped out. Those folks didn't put their fingers in their ears. Like Bernie said, they were ignored.

People who were surprised 5 months after Biden dropped out didn't have their fingers in their ears in your version of the world? I think you and I mean very different things by that phrase.

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Who do you think the people putting their fingers in their ears are, in this case?

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 hour ago

Check out leopards eating faces for the next few years..those people, whether it's moms surprised the education department is again going to punish their kids, Muslims surprised trump hates Muslims and wants them eradicated, EV company owners who think being allowed to support means being part of the narcissists inner circle, Latinos shocked that their friends or family members there illegally won't get special protections no matter how many times McCarthy rears his head.
