I know you're the president of the Shapiro fan club but the conversation was about him saying she was lying on him not any of this other weirdness you're posting about. So even you are in agreement that what she said is probably true.

Yeah, obviously we don't know either way, but I can't see what her motivation would have been to lie about that. No one can make the argument that she lost the election because she didn't pick him because she lost every single swing state, not just Pennsylvania.

I voted for Kamala, but I've never really been a big fan of hers. That being said, she operates very logically and cautiously (too cautiously). So what would have been her motivation to lie about this? What exactly would she have to gain?

I default to the ACA because Obamacare is the boogeyman of Dem policies. That all of these voters know for sure they hate until they find out it's what they actually are on and actually known as the ACA.

My point is I don't really think there is any way the Dems can "dumb down" or "mass slogan" that will break through with the people who always say they care about the policies. If the Dems pivoted to dumb down slogans then the media would pivot to Dems are trying to belittle the voters by speaking to them with paint by number messaging.

Not to mention as others will point out nothing the Dems can message hits better in the rust belt than that good ol cism
The point isn't to win every racist idiot in America, it's to win enough people to win the election and actually deliver on substantial, material change in everyone's lives. The idiots will be dragged along to a better world kicking and screaming. You can say there isn't any way the Dems can "dumb down" or "mass slogan" that will break through with the people, but the point is that they're not even trying. They purposefully avoid the simple, powerful narratives and policies that create mass change because they're a status quo party whose goal is to obfuscate the political landscape so people feel powerless to demand real change because it would come at the expense of the Democratic Party's oligarchic donor paymasters.

The Democratic Party doesn't work for your aunt with breast cancer, it works for the health insurance company trying to deny her coverage. So of course Kamala Harris isn't going to simply, powerfully say healthcare should be a free right granted to every person in the richest nation in history, she's going to say people should have the right to access affordable healthcare if they make x% of the poverty rate in a dual income household.

The Democratic Party doesn't work for your sister struggling with childcare, it works for the corporations that benefit from forcing her to work for them so she can afford childcare. So of course she's not going to simply, powerfully say every parent in the richest nation in history should have free childcare or a national paid family leave, she's going to say there should be a modest increase to the maximum amount of Child Tax Credit, provided your child meets all the eligibility requirements and your annual income does not exceed x amount when you file your taxes correctly.

Many such cases.
