Yes, those would have been better if Kamala had won.
I'm not convinced those would have been fixed if she would have won, as they were not fixed by any of her Democratic predecessors. The same predecessors that she made every indication she would follow.
You don't think the last few Dem presidents helped move the economy in the right direction?
Did we raise the minimum wage?
Huh no...
Did we give the big banks a tax funded bailout? Yes...
Minimum wage isn't the only part of the economy. Raising the minimum wage would help, but lowering the cost of living (rent/mortgage/etc) would be better. Look at the econ data to see how the dems worked to try and stop the economy from becoming more unstable whjen they were in power. Republicans have historically done a much worse job at this, with the dems coming in to clean up their mess. Not saying either party is good, but the pattern is straightforward.
I don't disagree, just was a simple campaign promise for how long from democrats and it hasn't happened.
This is why people are disillusioned, Democrats being the only good option and yet they still fail on most of their campaign promises in a way that seems intentional to promote the next cycle of voting.
Remember when roe v wade was overturned and democrats were able to beat the predictions of a red wave? So we have enshrined protections now right? Oh no they still used that to try and campaign with Kamala? Weird.
Literally no one here is saying Republicans are any better, however it's bullshit to blame leftists for democrats consistently failing their voter base.
Agreed, but they can still be blamed for not physically going to vote.
