    you can’t run on the status quo when the status quo isn’t working for people.

    That was the thing that killed me about the Biden campaign. People literally told Biden the economy sucked and they were hurting. They wanted Clinton’s “I feel your pain”. They wanted Carville’s “it’s the economy, stupid!”

    They got “What are you talking about, Jack? Economy is doing GREAT! Best in the world! We recovered! It’s over!”

    Then, when asked what she’d do different, Harris responded “I can’t think of anything, really.”

    How about this…

    “I’d have more empathy when people come to me outlining the challenges they are facing or the failures of the administration. There are things Biden absolutely could have done better, and I will do better.”
