    There was an election between an independent union leader and a career politician in Nebraska and the career politician won by a landslide. How do you explain that?

      One example does not a rule make, and in the US electoral system money (and the party affiliations that bring it) speaks loudest of all. Maybe going further left wouldn’t work, but going further right certainly hasn’t. When Harris first emerged as the candidate she had such a swell of support, as she moved further right she lost it.

        Voters are saying it is because of inflation. Not because she didn’t go further left.

        Neither is the entirety of America.
