They couldn't because the Biden team wanted to keep up the lie that everything was okay for everyday American families. Harris knew she couldn't say that because it was bullshit and she couldn't say that the economy sucked or else she would look like she was backstabbing Biden. Harris' indecisiveness on the issue tanked her campaign.
Whoever ran the Harris campaign on Reddit deserves their salary. That was an amazing echo chamber that had me fooled. I was expecting a blue wave better than Biden 2020. Too bad it doesn't translate into the election.
RCV doesn't achieve better results than our current system because they elected Eric Adams who didn't even live in NYC at the time and is now under criminal investigation. I'm more than willing to wait to see more results from RCV elections before completely damning it, but I have low expectations. Corruption almost always win. That's the main problem.
Good luck with shaming people into voting for you. It didn't work in 2016 and it didn't work now. Letting the DNC off the hook won't change anything.
