Summary
Historians suggest Democrats might have fared better against Donald Trump by embracing the economic issues championed by Senator Bernie Sanders, who has long pushed for a focus on “bread-and-butter” concerns for working-class voters.
Despite Kamala Harris’s progressive policies, polls showed Trump was favored on economic issues, particularly among working-class and Hispanic voters.
Historian Leah Wright Rigueur argued that Sanders’ messaging on economic struggles could be key for future Democratic strategies.
Sanders himself criticized the party for “abandoning” the working class, which he said has led to a loss of support across racial lines.
Allowing someone to be killed through deliberate inaction is the same as killing them. You’re responsible for the actions you chose not to take.
You’ve killed thousands if that is true. You could have said something to prevent a suicide, you could have spared a dollar to save a homeless person who froze that night. You are a mass murderer if you really think that. It’s a sad way to live.
Are you sure you saw the word “deliberate”?
How are my examples not deliberate?
Drag did say all drag could to prevent a suicide whenever one of drag’s friends was down. And it worked, none of drag’s friends are dead yet.
So you deliberately only assist those you consider “a friend”?
We really don’t need to keep dragging this out. My point is simply that voting for the “lesser evil” is not morally superior to voting for your ideal candidate or protest voting. And fighting for an actually left movement to take power benefits us all.
Drag has helped plenty of acquaintances too, and they were all alive last drag saw them, but many dozens, drag has no way of knowing. The vast majority of people drag has ever met, drag will never see again.
Did you even volunteer for Harris or donate to her campaign? 🙄
