Blue Confusion

Democrats can't understand it:

Trump hasn't hypnotized voters, making them believe something that isn't true. Trump has successfully framed the economy in personal terms for millions of Americans. Damn the statistics; the economy is hurting people. If Harris had picked up on that earlier, she could have pivoted to her own economic plans. Instead of telling Americans they were stupid for believing the economy was not going gangbusters, she could have laid out a coherent plan for her administration. Instead, she got sidetracked with the personal attacks on Trump. Now, because she hasn't defined herself or her economic program, all she's got is "Trump is a poopy-head and a fascist." It's not likely to work. “Her economic message hasn’t broken through,” a Harris donor said. “And the economy is the issue most people care about. She narrowed the gap a little on the issue, but she’s left a lot of people wondering about her vision.” While Harris has narrowed Trump's sizable advantage on the economy, she's still far behind, 46-38. Former Treasury Secretary Robert Reich, who once claimed that the federal debt doesn't matter and that huge government spending doesn't lead to high inflation, said that Harris needs to adjust her message to "center on 'anti-elitist' economics." Harris the populist?
