Key Takeaways:
- Kamala Harris’s underdog narrative: Harris frames her campaign as an underdog, despite polling better than Biden did before dropping out.
- Close race dynamics: The election is tight, especially in swing states, with Harris underperforming in key demographics compared to Biden’s 2020 performance.
- Trump’s flaws: Harris critiques Trump for his presidency’s economic policies, handling of the pandemic, and attacks on immigrant communities.
- Voter demographics: Harris struggles with voters of color, young voters, seniors, and union workers; Trump has significant working-class support.
- Arab American voters: Support for Harris has declined due to her stance on Gaza and unconditional support for Israel, leading to a potential loss of Arab American voters, especially in Michigan.
- Policy shifts needed: The article argues Harris should adjust her stance on Gaza, support a ceasefire, and condition U.S. arms to Israel, which could sway Arab American voters.
- Economic populism: Harris is encouraged to focus on class-warfare rhetoric and pro-working class policies, such as a $15 minimum wage, capping drug costs, and expanding Social Security, to win over lower-income voters.
- Youth voter engagement: There’s concern about low youth voter turnout and lack of outreach to young people of color, which could affect the election outcome.
- Final campaign stretch: Harris is urged to take bold steps on economic issues and appeal to working-class voters, similar to Biden’s approach in 2020, to secure victory in key states.
Really now? So you’re just going to pretend that the current issue is completely the fault of the Biden administration? You’re going to pretend that Republicans aren’t also sitting in Congress continually voting in favor of these funds and weapons? And you’re going to pretend that Trump hasn’t already pledged to make things so much worse?
Your only goal here is to constantly point out that Biden is doing bad things and convince others to not vote for Harris. Which means your goal is to convince voters to vote in support of Trump, or not vote at all which still provides a boost for Trump. You pretend that you care about what is happening to Palestinians and yet your thinly-veiled goal is to support a candidate who wants to makes things MUCH worse for their whole country. You argue that anyone who doesn’t see things your way is arguing in favor of genocide and keep trying to convince others that I have no interest in discussing the subject, yet here I am time after time directly discussing what the future could hold, but you yourself refuse to engage with anyone that won’t go along with your strategy to make Harris look like the worst choice possible. Yeah the current US policy is really bad, I’ve never once denied that. Maybe you should stop denying that allowing Trump back in office would be by his own words much much worse. An actual discussion means talking about both options, not continually screaming the same thing like a broken record while ignoring what the alternative could bring.
Please do your best to engage in good faith and reply directly to what I am saying.
Please do your best to stay focused instead of finding new ways to deflect or be wrong. In the spirit of this sentiment, I’m going to ignore everything else you said because it is not germane to my point - the one you keep trying to avoid.
I would be more interested in entertaining your parroting of old and boring talking points were you not ignoring everything I say to you and trying to move attention away from genocide and support for it. You are now doing the work of light genocide deniers.
