    Harris literally campaigned with a promise to tax the billionaires more.

    Billionaires countered her campaign by doing things like literally buying votes.

    Now people on lemmy are pretending she never promised to tax billionaires more.

      Sorry, I meant she should have been Bernie-style grandstanding about it and hammering it home and making it a core part of her campaign more than it not being in her plans at all. I feel like she started with that kind of message and was doing well and ended with the Cheneys like me and ill put a Republican in my cabinet and lost

        The polls show most voters were motivated by inflation and thought democrats were to blame. Republicans and the billionaire class convinced enough voters that increasing taxes on billionaires would make it worse.
