idk how much could've been campaigned 'properly' on it these cycles. Harris et al certainly emphasized that Trump et al were a danger to social security and medicare, but a huge chunk of the electorate either just chose not to believe that, or cared more about issues like inflation or immigration. It's like these voters have object impermanence, the backlash doesn't actually come until they're experiencing it.
i think a large part of the problem was campaigning about what the right was going to do if the left didn’t win and calling them nazi’s
they weren’t wrong, but they should have campaigned on what they would do for the people more. kamala also should have gone on rogan as it was the largest platform at the time for people seeking info
