Climate change is going to make your home insurance skyrocket would have been a great argument for Harris/Walz to make. I really don’t understand why they decided to ignore climate change during the election.

Right? I mean, she actually said she was going to open up more oil drilling.

A simple Google search yielded tons of results, even though VP Harris had only 90 days to talk about issues. For instance www.youtube.com/live/-NZqTJC...

“During the DNC Convention in August, Harris mentioned it once in her acceptance speech, citing the “freedom to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and live free from the pollution that fuels the climate crisis.” globalwarmingisreal.com/2024/09/27/h...

“This doesn’t look accidental, it looks like a deliberate choice,” said Kevin Book, managing director of ClearView Energy Partners, a Washington-based research firm, referring to the sparse mentions of climate change in the speeches of Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/21/c...

You said they >ignored< it. Damn, man, she had 90 days, and a shit ton of topics to cover. She did not ignore it, she just didn't cover it to your, or their, liking.

I should have said downplayed it rather than ignored it. They definitely made a conscious decision to downplay it and that was one of many terrible decisions by Democratic consultants.

WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL US ABOUT PROJECT 2025? WHY DIDN'T SHE WARN US ABOUT MASS DEPORTATIONS? WHT DIDN'T SHE WARN US ABOUT MASSIVE CUTS TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES? WHY DIDN'T SHE WARN US ABOUT CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE AND MEDICAID? I keep reading people screaming about how they didn't know...

There isn't a single area in which Harris didn't crush Trump on, except coddling rich white dudes. She warned us all about what was coming, she covered all of it in the little time she had, but damn.

Harris won people who paid attention to credible news sources by large margins, but she lost non-engaged voters by large margins. The biggest problem facing the Democrats is an inability to reach voters in this media environment. That is a party failure.

No, it's a failure of the Fourth Estate.

It is Democrats job is to compete in the world we have. They have ignored the media for decades while Republicans built up infrastructure on every different platform.

Billionaires have bought most of the legacy media, and they're pretty much all pro-Trump. It is a failure of the 4th estate to warn the people who've been deliberately kept dumb by the GOP going back to at least Reagan. I could also point out here the issue with misogyny that kept two highly

The consultants need to be kicked out for good. They make Dems lose elections.

Watch the 2 debates. Neither Walz or Harris wanted to talk about it.
