Harris/Biden ran on opposing all of these. The Dems can’t simultaneously fight against Bernie and progressives and then pretend at some point they were fore them because Bernie was in a Dem primary at one point and forced Dem candidates to find deceptive ways to deflect and lie like Harris saying “access to healthcare for all”
Okay cool, that’s the only one I found too. So nothing about Medicaid for all or getting the money out of politics, right? Because without those on top, I think it’s not surprising that folks were unmotivated by stuff like:
Vice President Harris and Governor Walz’s plan will raise the corporate tax rate to 28 percent—still well below the rate that was in place before the Trump tax cuts under both Democratic and Republican presidents.
And their plan will reform the international tax system so that corporations can no longer get big rewards for shifting jobs and profits overseas. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz’s plan will also quadruple the tax rate on corporate stock buybacks to encourage businesses to invest in growth and productivity.
It also talks about returning the Capital Gains tax rate to the way it was in 1986.
I could swear it also mentioned the unrealized gains tax plan they wanted to implement but that isn’t shown here.
So we have given up on the other two claims then right, she hasn’t been for medicare for all since the 2020 primary, right? Further when it goes on to say,

Can you see why this didn’t capture the enthusiasm of a voting population that is largely very sick of slow incremental changes that are so desperately in line with the status quo? People get inspired by a fighter, and ‘finding a nice balance’ on how much we should tax the corporations during what people view as rapid greed driven inflation.
That is a assuming they are in the weeds deep enough to even to know what she is doing. This article describing the steps paints a picture of someone that’s serious about money in politics.
This on top of Gaza, on top of Biden taking so long to drop out and have no primary. It sets the stage for a candidate that democrats didn’t fall in love with, and lost to the republicans falling in line.
The guy who won made the effective corporate tax rate less than 10%.
The Harris administration wanted to raise tax on the rich and keep the same or lower the taxes of everyone else from before the TCJA raised taxes on middle class and below. Simple as.
As for Medicaid for All, she supports it, but its not a presidential policy because it requires 60 senators. The Biden admin helped relieve many from medical debts and also had medical debts stricken from everyones credit reports.
