Again, this kind of reductive thinking isn’t helpful. I’m not saying that everything that happened is Biden’s fault, but the reality is that people are, by and large, poorer today then they were four years ago. And Harris’ response to that was “We did a great job and I wouldn’t change a single thing.”

Promising “four more years of this” when “this” is utter shit is not a compelling argument.

I’m actually one of Biden’s biggest defenders. I genuinely think that he made a lot of very good choices, many of which could have yielded powerful long term gains for the left. His government’s stance on labour rights, consumer protections and anti-monopoly action was fantastic.

But none of that matters when voters scream at you that they’re starving and you reply “No you’re not.”
