To win, Harris should talk more about working-class needs and less about Trump

The 2024 campaign has entered the final stretch and, as polls tighten, it seems Kamala Harris plans to lean into attacking Donald Trump as a threat to democracy.
Over the past week the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the New York Times and even the conservative National Review have all reported or commented on the messaging pivot. In a newly unveiled official campaign ad, a disembodied voice warns gravely that a second Trump term “would be worse. There would be no one to stop his worst instincts. No guard rails.” At a recent rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Harris reminded her supporters of Project 2025, the “detailed and dangerous plan” that she believes an “increasingly unstable and unhinged” Trump will follow to cement “unchecked power”. She sounded the alarm about the dire threat Trump poses to “your fundamental freedoms” and how in his second term he would be “essentially immune” from oversight.
She doesn’t care about you, though.
She’s made that abundantly clear. She’s a capitalist.
What are you talking about? Lol
Most of her talking is about how she’s going to help workers. But the media only focuses mainly on her focus on Trump, and that’s fair because Trump is dangerous and it’s more exciting
In Detroit in particular, she told people how she was going to help, whereas Trump was there telling the residents it was a craphole (but I don’t recall him saying why, or how he’d fix it. He was basically just telling them they’re useless). Once Trump is gone, we’ll likely return to normal politics (even JD you can tell is trying to act normal, but he’s stuck defending Trump)
The fact she got Walz as a running mate says a lot too.
She is saying lots. Watch her second “debate” as an example (the one Trump didn’t show up at). You can tell that the people who asked questions were impressed with the answers.
And unlike Trump’s rallies, it wasn’t stacked with kamala supporters
I’m not a fucking trump supporter. But don’t pretend like Kamela stands with the workers. She’s a capitalist
You already said that.
But not why…
Because I actually stand with the workers and the environment and against war
Do you? Who is upvoting this lol https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/kamala-harris-presidency-electric-vehicles/story?id=112781610
Trump plans to wind back a lot of environmental protections… Kamala is still doing many.
Kamala also is asking for a ceasefire
“You actually stand with workers”… Yeah… Thats a non answer… You’re not supporting it with any evidence that suggests she doesn’t (and you made the claim, so you should prove it).
My evidence is that she supports raising the minimum wage BY A LOT, middle class tax cuts, !!! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-23/harris-backs-15-minimum-wage-in-fight-with-trump-over-wages . That feels like standing by workers to me. Also, tax cuts for the middle wage, tax increase for the rich. To be blunt, if you don’t stand by that, you’re anti-worker…
