    Trump’s policies were all unpopular and people hated his ideas.

    He won because media told people the Democrat’s good ideas were his and that only be could be trusted to implement them, and too many believed it. He copied promises from Kamala outright and media only reported on his statements and not hers.

    People LIKED the Democrat campaign plan. They were simply convinced to not trust it by propaganda.

        Yeah, that and dropping “weird” was stupid things they trusted the political consultant class on… They certainly didn’t run a perfect campaign, but people act like it wasn’t the propaganda that made a difference

          Many things can be true and to blame. I just want dems to stop giving fuel to right wing propaganda by accepting the framing of said propagandists.

      Sure, but justified or not, the personality behind the policies is very important to most ppl. She was the least popular candidate in the primaries. She ran a presumptuous half-assed victory lap campaign. She ran to the center and proposed nothing new or inspiring. She avoided difficult topics and fumbled when confronted with them. So, her policies were mostly fine (except of course that big one), but people maybe don’t want a non-leader type former cop to spearhead those policies.
