(325 posts)Did you see that in one Harris ad? It should have been her number one talking point. Ive been saying this for months.
Here in swing state PA, the economy is on fire. Everyone who wants a job has a job. Houses are selling as quick as possible. New construction is everywhere. Airports airplanes, hotels, cruise ships are all full. People have money to spend.
Did you ever hear an ad saying that?
Here in swing state PA we were inundated with ads-thousands upon thousands of ads. I never recall seeing one from Kamala Harris, talking about the booming economy.
I still felt confident that she was going to win this state by double digits. What changed my mind was election day itself. I had a meeting in a very red area. The lines to vote were the longest I have seen in my life. That worried me. I wonder how those people would have voted if Kamala Harris would have told them the economy is doing very well for them, not just the millionaire actors and singers who showed up at her rallies. . Instead, the ads were total negative all the time. I know many of you here on DU think negative ads work just fine.
I respectfully disagree.
