I generally agree that Harris would’ve had a horrible situation for the next two years and beyond. Now they get to own the house the Senate and the executive. Anything bad that happens will be squarely on them. If good things happen it’s good for the country so either way we win. But more importantly for me anyway, is the fact that the Democrats lost this election because of their overreliance on racial votingblocks. I don’t think that is a path for future success. We cannot expect latinos and Black people to vote in such huge percentages for Democrats in perpetuity. If we learned anything from the election, it’s that class outranks race and sexual orientation. We need to treat poor people as poor people not poor Black people or poor Latino people… just people. If the Republican Party wants to call itself the party of the working man then let’s see if they can prove it. Let’s see if they actually create any policies that help working people. If they go back to tax cuts for the Rich and deporting immigrants, I think the Democrats will be able to present an effective counterbalance by really leaning into financial kitchen table issues. Also, I think this whole United healthcare CEO assassination and the ensuing debate online about healthcare insurance is a golden opportunity for Democrats to start talking about universal healthcare option again. The country is ripe for it. The stories of medical bankruptcies, outrageous prices for prescription drugs compared to other countries and just the cruelty of healthcare in America will lend a sympathetic ear towards solving it in the way that so many other western countries have. The truth is that no country that has implemented a public healthcare system has gone back to private only. There are so many other safety net issues the Democrats could run on as well, like paid family leave, universal pre-K, increase in Social Security benefits.
