    I agree with Michael Moore’s theory that this was why many people voted for Trump in 2016. They felt ignored and powerless, so they said okay here, I’ll vote for this asshole, see how you like that! It was an expensive lesson that I don’t think the Democratic party has really paid attention to. Their response was to rethink their campaign strategies - many of them probably blamed their loss on trying to elect a woman for President - so they regrouped and managed to get Biden elected. But he didn’t put any bold ideas forward. All he really did was be a Democrat in the White House instead of a Republican. I don’t feel like Kamala Harris is playing that game. She really does want to move forward in a big way and not go back.
