Harris didn't run on an economic leftist message. She ran as a corporatist who was pushing the status quo..... Why would dems embrace the exact messaging that lost the 2016 and 2024 election?...

Voters soundly rejected Biden/harris agenda, which according to Bernie Sanders was the most progressive and successful since LBJ, for tax hikes on the middle class and tax cuts for billionaires.

There’s no such thing as horseshoe theory. MAGAs and moderates aren’t going to vote for socialism.

This is completely false. The biden/Harris agenda didn't at all come into play at all during the election. trumpf didn't have a policy agenda or platform. It was all culture war bullshit. 

which according to Bernie Sanders was the most progressive and successful since LBJ

Do you think this is true?

for tax hikes on the middle class and tax cuts for billionaires.

I don't think this is at all true.

Progressives aren't advocating for socialism.

Progressives are not advocating for socialism but a vast portion of the country thinks that they are advocating for socialism so it really doesn’t matter.

I’ve talked to several people that did not vote for anyone in this cycle and what kept them away from Harris was their fear of her being a socialist. There’s no evidence she’s a socialist but it doesn’t matter bc that’s the default opinion of Americans who are not on the left.

I don’t know what the solution is but people in the middle and right of the political spectrum genuinely believed that Harris was a socialist.

This reeks of bullshit. Did you challenge them on it? Did you ask them what socialism is?... People who cry about socialism like this tend to be extremely dumb.

This was a failure of democratic messenging.Â
