It's been a weird summer.
It took Harris two months to do the very basic thing of putting a platform on her website, and in that two months, you heard absolutely nothing about policy. What you heard were two memes repeated ad infinatum: Joy and Weird. Then since the debate, they've added a two new memes: The Dogs and Crowd Size. The reality is that she can't talk about Biden's record because most of the country has to work harder for less money than they did in 2020.
Meanwhile I don't currently have a car because I've lent mine to my 80 year-old parents so they can drive for DoorDash every day, because if they can't, this government will let them become homeless. This is happening in a time when the Democrats had the presidency and Congress for two years, and from what I can tell, all they really cared to do was make the wealthy even richer and find ways to involve our country in more war.
How am I supposed to be joyful? If you're a wage earner, you're already living under fascism, because if you don't work that 60-80 hours a week, this country will let the monied destroy you.
