To win working-class voters — and possibly today’s election — Democrats need to attack economic elites. But the Kamala Harris campaign hasn’t consistently offered an anti-elite counter to Donald Trump’s right-wing populism.

People have been saying it for 40 years, and the Democrats just kept moving right instead. They won't learn because the people that run the campaigns get paid regardless, and they get paid more if the campaign can raise billionaire donor money.

The Harris campaign was entirely similar to the H. Clinton campaign. Nothing has changed in the Democratic party. I honestly was not surprised to see her lose.
