Left policy isn't for the leftists, it's for everyone except the capitalists. Left policy polls incredibly well when it's divorced from democrats that have shown over and over will not do what their base wants.
Republicans fear their base, democrats despise their base.
Do you think Biden would have done better?
She told her base to fuck off, the genocide will continue, the wall will be built, we will have the most lethal military in history, all so that republicans would vote for her.
And then 5% of her vote came from registered republicans, down from 6% in 2020.
America does not even remotely understand this, so they will not vote as such.
Not this time with how unpopular he is now, but any other white male option would have worked or at least had a better shot.
Because she's a black woman.
She already had the vote of every leftist, because leftists hate trump more then they dislike her. The voters she needed were suburban white men, which is who she tried to appeal to. It didn't work because of racism and sexism.
Here's the polling that says otherwise. Progressive policies are popular.

So you're telling me that most of the country agrees with her policy more than trump's, yet the majority still voted for trump? I wonder if this might have something to do with racism and sexism.
