Personally, I think the administration dragged its heels because it was stupid enough to want to run against Trump again. After all, if they had the bogeyman incarnate to run against, they could move to the right and still be second worst. And second worst wins elections, right?
Agreed. They still think being not trump is the easiest way to power since single identity politics is losing its charm.
Don't tell me the whole democrats campaign was reduced to ORANGE MAN BAD, UPDOOTS TO THE LEFT
That and:
"I mean if push comes to shove we can help a small very specific subsect of you guys, after all the rest of you are doing exactly as well as our corporate donors want you to be and that probably means pretty good, we don't think about it very much and figure your complaints are just people being needy.
But I mean what could the orange man even offer, he acts like there is something wrong too. He's wrong and bad! Let's stay the same, updoots in the center!"
Can't forget Harris pledging to close the border and build the wall, tax breaks for small businesses and worthy plebs (home-buyers who'd payed rent on time for 3 years), or create "the most lethal military in history".
First generational home buyers who lived in a corporate owned apartment complex and paid on time for the last 2 years.
Like literally only for immigrants who had been imported in and proven to be helpful to the economy.
And the business loans were the same way but only for black men who had already been running the business for 3 years in specific industries who has already received a pell grant. So like 5 people they likely new and wanted to give money to directly without giving it directly.
Hyper specific to help the least amount of people and then murderous war machine to finish anyone else off outside of that.
