It's not like Democrats don't care about taking legal bribes. The whole Harris campaign was basically founded upon getting as much money from corporate donors as possible. That's why she lost. She tries to raise a billion dollars instead of 90 million votes.

Well, its called fighting on equal footing. If the rich are going to buy an election, then its a good idea to have your own on your side. Regular voters are not going to be able to carry you over the finish line in this day and age. Get rid of Citizens United and maybe it'll change.

No minimum wage increase no cap on lower income threshold rent increases, Biden said he was going to cap it but I'm pretty sure he didn't. No promise of a minimum wage... She could have just promised the stuff that Obama did in his primaries and didn't do and probably won the election.

Hmm, they both in fact fought for min wage and rallied for it during her run. However, most of that, is state level. But then most legislation will be hard when you have 1 party who votes down all you mentioned. Well unless Dems are given super majorities in both chambers, then they could do it all

The problem is Harris offered pretty much nothing. Buy a $300,000 to $3 million dollar house and maybe you'll get 1% to 5% cash back on tax incentives. Commit to spending $60, 000 to 600,000 on a brand new child, over the next 18 years and get a $6,000 tax credit year one
