Nobody wants to hear progressive culture nonsense because it's not a solution to any of the problems in the country. No one wants to hear from country club Republicans about how free trade is the answer because that's not a solution, either.
I don't know - it seems like Biden was trying to do something with student loans, which is a huge economic issue for younger generations. Further, Harris at least made proposals to make housing more affordable and to punish companies for price-gouging. People apparently didn't care about these real-world economic issues (or thought the proposed solutions were dumb). Or maybe she never effectively got the message out on these issues.

She should have said she'd make weed legal on a federal level.

"Made proposals" or "made commercials that said she would?"

How does student loan forgiveness work? It's untenable on its face. If I happen to be a lucky person who comes thru the system while forgiveness is offered, great. But what about the kid who graduates a year or two later?

And why forgive debt as a solution? The problem is with management of the schools. Academia isn't a bastion of shrewd cost-policing CFOs. It's filled with people who've never had to meet a payroll, never been subjected to metrics. And whom all sit above a giant spigot of free money known as the student loan system. It's a candy-land of opportunists and fiscal illiterates.

Idk about the weed thing making a difference. Weed is so ubiquitous it's basically de facto legal everywhere. Even Trump is supports its legality. (The bro vote would not countenance deviation.)

Because the government uses it as a solution all the time?
