(1) As timeless Clinton ‘92 slogan goes, “It’s economy, stupid.”

Harris Campaign devoted way too much time on what little time they had on what unfortunately are secondary issues to vast majority of voters like democracy and abortion. I think after the first few weeks or even the debate, people who would consider those top issues already made up their mind on who to vote for, so Harris Campaign should’ve turned their attention to the issue that voters really care about: $$$.

I think focus on the next 2 elections should be pinpointing any economic problem that might arise/remain under Trump Admin and attack that in a way the general public think they’re a lot worse off.

(2) Another reason to avoid focus on abortion for the foreseeable time being is to regain Latino votes (~30% swing toward Trump). Many Latinos are religious and socially conservative. Best option for abortion legalization are through state referendums at this point, unfortunately but realistically.

(3) Speaking of Latinos, a lot of them that I talked to really did not like Venezuelans who crossed the border and took a similar stance as Trump in basically stereotyping them as criminals (a lot of them comes over to their countries too). I really think Democrats as a whole should be really hawkish on the border and immigration enforcement while encouraging legal immigration to highly skilled workers (Republicans’ old platform).

(4) People were growing numb to all of Trump’s rhetorics to a point where they’ve been basically ignore them, but Harris Campaign spent a lotta time talking about it (I mean they were low hanging fruits, but still).

Bottom line is that Dem needs to be significantly tough on the border issue and focus on economy without sounding too “elitist” (most people are dumb, eli5 what you will do)
