    Yeah but with more than half of Americans with reading comprehension skills of a sixth grader, I don’t think Democrats way of communicating would have helped unfortunately.

      I’m going to cut right to the chase in everyday conversations and call them “the trump tax”.

      Not that it will do much good, but the more people that know about this, the better. Better to frame it properly and let the opposition and the low-info try to roll it back.

      For the magabrained that start up with the arguments, I’ll innocently ask them if this isn’t what they voted for?

          Smart is a judgment.

          A lot of people don’t have good access to education. Because the right-wing wants an uneducated electorate so they gut education. Because of systemic racism and oppression. Because of colonialism and genocide.

          She needed to use language more skillfully. If she would have gone on Joe Rogan and talked about the steps the Biden administration had been taking towards legalizing marijuana, I bet she would have won.

          It’s my judgment that they didn’t run a very smart campaign.
