THIS ELECTION JUST PROVES WHAT I ALREADY BELIEVED

I hate to say I told you so, but here we are. Kamala Harris’s loss will go down in history as a catastrophe that could have easily been avoided if more people had thought whatever I happen to think.

- RIVER CLEGG

Take immigration. It’s a major issue, and I believe that the Harris campaign should have tacked to the left on it instead of trying to beat Republicans at their own messaging. Except I also think that Democrats should be trying harder to appeal to conservative rural voters who worry that immigration is out of control. Doing both of these things at once would have been so simple. And yet.

I hate to sound smug, but this was totally predictable if you happen to share whatever my exact world view is.

Then there’s the economy. Some people say it’s bad and that’s why she lost. Other people say it ’s good but not enough people know it’s good and that ’s why she lost. Unfortunately, I am the only voter who is smart enough to believe both.

Just look at the polling. Americans want to fight climate change in a way that doesn’t disrupt our current system, which fuels climate change. Democrats need to start speaking to these people!
