Saw an interview on CNN today with a Dem talking about the fact that the Harris campaign didn't do a good enough job of touting the bills passed by the Biden administration that are helping and continue to help the middle class.

I have to agree. The other thing I would add is that for every day of the campaign....they should have splashed a headline from 4 years ago displaying for everyone with a brain...how the country wasn't better 4 years ago. You know why it would work? Because it's the damn truth...we were in the midst of a pandemic with the economy shutdown and tens of thousands cases of Covid a day with emergency rooms flooded with people in respiratory distress.
The Harris campaign....as much as they did right...allowed Trump to take the narrative that he was better for the economy and times were better with him at the helm.
For better or worse, a modern-day president must be the salesperson-in-chief, due to the noise level caused by internet communications and social media. Joe Biden was the polar opposite of that. The communication problem began long before Kamala Harris was nominated.
I guess that it's hard to look at the pandemic as not being better off since half the country believes it was a hoax. Remember the piece on the woman who was dying, on a respirator in the hospital being told that she had covid and still wouldn't believe it!? That was 4 years ago. Remember the accusations that the death toll was exaggerated? Or, they were older and an already vulnerable part of the population who would have died anyway? This is not a short memory, but never having acknowledged that it was even happening at the time, outside of the left trying to make trump look bad on his response to covid. This truly was a long term chipping away at the American psyche and I am not a conspiracy theorist but Putin and the USSR won. All my former colleagues, ex-military, oath taking Americans were turned.
The level of misinformation, and just plain making shit up, is staggering. It’s sad that some follow blindly. Funny that I heard yesterday, hell maybe it was here, that the most googled phrase over the last week is “ what is a tariff”? If that’s accurate, and I don’t know if it is or isn’t, then we’re in trouble🤪.
I went to a good HS. Graduated in 1966. They always told us that it was in the top 5 academically in the country. I had 0 interest in learning and was a "comportment" problem. I still learned despite myself. I read books, literature, from an early age. I knew how to use a dictionary and an encyclopedia. I Was interested in "Social Studies" but not math. Had high academic achievers for parents. My dad was a phi beta kappa. As 1966 approached my friends and I, tending toward "hippy" did not see where a college degree would have any currency in the new world order. Non the less, I went to college and despite all the things that I had, things that would have been diagnosed and treated today, ADD and Hyper this and hyper that, I knew what a Tariff was and ended up an Airline pilot. The important missing ingredient, the thing that I did not have was internet access. My 36 year old daughter also just missed it. We got her some "brick" of a cell phone in HS "for emergencies" and I remember finally caving and getting "cable" for internet access. She, as an IB (International Baccalauréat) student, could not get her homework and research done on a 56 bit phone modem. So, there ya go. As Marshall McLuhan said "the medium is the message." Look it up trumpers. You've been had. Here's a summary "if it's on the internet it must be true and good." Oh, or "Alternative" non MSM news sources too. PS, My daughter is not only a pretty good orchestra level violinist, but also holds a Phd. in, of all things, Literature. Again trump voters, look it up. It has to do with books and learning.
Harris could have shouted from all the roof tops in the US and it wouldn't have been heard above the misinformation coming from rightwing outlets. I was informed over the weekend that Trump can't wreck the economy because we are already in a depression. I was WTF? This came from a college educated female white retiree living in AZ.

True, but not the only reason we are up sh-- creek without a paddle.

Well, she is right in one respect. Many of us are in a depression, and it is not based on an economy in depression, which it isn't.
Wow
