Harris lost DESPITE major shift of affluent voters her way
2020: Trump wins voters over $100K, 54-52
2024: *Harris* wins voters over $100K, 54-45
2020: Biden wins voters $50K-$100K, 57-42
2024: *Trump* w/ voters $50K-$100K,…
I really encourage people who think the Biden economy was great to read this paper from May by Thomas Ferguson and Servaas Storm. "Trump versus Biden: The Macroeconomics of the Second Coming." Need to understand the economic context of this catastrophe. https://t.co/LI41QPehjV pic.twitter.com/UoCREFlp3u

Nothing to see here, just a centrist losing by half a million votes in a state where leftwing labor policy won. https://t.co/MiRq73hkis

Progressive policies aren't unelectable - unpopular Democratic politicians are. pic.twitter.com/Akum3h67jZ

"Never underestimate Joe [Biden]'s ability to f*ck things up" - Barack Obama
...also worth remembering: "The Biden—now Harris—campaign committee raised $997.2 million and Trump’s campaign committee raised $388 million in total between Jan. 2023 and Oct. 16, 2024, the most recent date for which Federal Election Commission filings are available, ending with $118 million and $36.2 million in cash on hand, respectively." - Forbes
If your calculator is not handy, that means Harris raised a little more than two-and-a-half times Trump and spent slightly more than that two-and-a-half times what the Trump campaign spent, yet lost decisively.
Update #1:
Post election prediction: D's will blame everyone from the Russians, to the public, to aliens from Mars, but will never accept responsibility for the disastrous policies that put them so far in the hole. More validation that it's difficult to get someone to understand something if their paycheck depends on them not understanding.
