Social issues like equality, racism, LGBTQ rights, women's rights,etc.... those are nice to haves but when you're struggling to feed and house your family, they're not a priority. If she spoke more about how she was going to turn things around for the poor and the working class, she maybe would've had a chance. When people don't have to worry about having a full belly and a roof over their heads then maybe they will care more about social issues.
This even happens on a larger scale. In 2022 when the Fed was increasing rates and spending was tight, a lot of large corporations had to cut back spending and a lot of large companies scrapped their DEI initiatives. It's a luxury, not a necessity.
The party has increasingly become out of touch and having all these big name celeb endorsements wasn't helping. To us, it looks cool that Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala but to the average Trump voter.... They see a rich woman telling us to vote for Kamala because of abortion rights... how's that going to help them afford their groceries? Ideals are great but you can't eat or live in them...

They showed charts that had income brackets and how much you would save in taxes if you went dem or repub. dem was better for lower-middle, about the same for middle, and worst for upper middle. Even when you show the numbers people rather just hear the words.
