Want A Reason Why Kamala Lost That Makes Sense

129. Why?

There is no one “reason why”.

There are multiple factors.

In no particular order…

While political parties can do whatever they wish in selecting a candidate the image projected by Biden’s decision under duress, right or wrong, was terrible.

The “media” no longer exists as it did. It has fractured. Legacy media is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Social media and the narcissistic drive to make oneself important in a toxic society has created an alternative media with massive power and no interest in truth.

Governing parties around the world got hammered by voters due to responses to inflation. That Biden did far better was irrelevant.

The public was up in arms over inflation as though government could do anything about it without causing even more havoc. What happened during Reagan’s first term? Volcker “killed” inflation with skyhigh interest rates causing a recession. Of course, he didn’t kill inflation since inflation is a psychological greed/fear response.

Racism, misogyny, xenophobia, cognitive dissonance, political inertia (always voting for one particular party no matter the situation) and lack of critical thinking all played large roles.

Regarding the economy, it will take a massive intervention by government to even make small changes that will not damage people even more. Nothing Trump can do will change that. Take housing, it would require suspending zoning regulations to build denser housing. Do people want denser housing? It would require coming down hard on PE ownership of rental properties. This would mean across the board rent control. Building multi-family and single family homes will inevitably cost more because suppliers and contractors will try to gain as much profit as possible with price increases in raw materials and labor. That would have to be stepped on.

Does anyone think that this would go down well.

As for food? Price freezes and wage freezes would be required.

That ain’t about to happen. People want what they want without consideration as to the how.
