    Not when your grocery bills, rent, and everything else have tripled in just a few years. (But not your wages, of course.)

    That creates a lot of swing voters, and it’s how Donald was able to build his coalition in 2024. Harris’ policy position on it was “I won’t change anything.”

      People forget that turnout is a thing. To win an election you don’t have to convert the other party’s voters to your side, you just have to convince them to stay home when your voters are turning out to vote.

      You keep repeating this quote but you’re either misinformed or lying about the context. I’m not saying what she said had good optics, I am saying what she said isn’t what you’re claiming.
