Biden did more to help the working class than any president in my lifetime. People are too stupid or don't pay enough attention to realize it.

This is true, but only because every President since FDR did damage to the working class. Biden was absolutely a breath of fresh air, and it's unfortunate that neither he nor Kamala were loud enough about it.

With the campaign Kamala ran, it would surprise the hell out of me if most voters understood the good that Biden did. To average people, it makes no difference to them that inflation is back to normal when the price impacts don't go away. It was campaign malpractice to try and sit on past accomplishments without offering new initiatives to make things better.

What Kamala offered was too little, too complicated, and too quiet. All voters heard was that she would be the same as Biden, and that CEOs and neocon warmongers love her.

Republicans: Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, kill all social programs, raise taxes on the 99%, kill public infrastructure, and lastly go fuck yourself (Republican voter base proceeds to cheer)

Democrats: Uhhhhh.... Tax cuts for small buisnesses anyone? Oh wait the republicans are calling us communist for doing that. Well if we just compromise with them and allow sooome fascism we'll be able to get some of our agenda across as well. (Leftists proceed to boo the Dems for being Fascism Lite™)

From an outsider perspective, the Dems may be hopeless neoliberals, but isn't it more:

R: hehe sure we will hehehe

D: here's a set of policies that should improve things

Voters: too complicated, just say yes.
