Democrats have fixed the economy. But that won’t be enough to defeat populism.

So you lied.

If her words aren't good enough for you, then I don't know what to tell you.

you're just another stupid right wing troll

Democrats are on track to win "populism", i.e., the vote of the people. They most always do.

If you want to ignore her words, and the opinion of Wall Street Journal writers, that's on you.

Here are some other outlets that are very concerned about her plans.

Kamala Harris is wrong. American economic history is replete with failed price control policies

Price controls fail to meet the hope of their advocates because such policies don't address the root causes and introduce unintended consequences.

Very wise of you.

I get tired of people whining, like you.

I wouldn't say it's "fixed," but they have done a good job of improving things from the economic disaster that the worst jobs President in modern American history left for them.

I do not understand how anyone can think a Republican is better for the economy after the past 30+ years. There is simply no comparison at all.

If Trump voters thought in those terms we would all be better off, but they don't. Whatever excuses or distortions have to be made on policy or anything else will be made so as not to be in the way of what matters, and we know what that is.

@Hume doesn't want to play anymore...

Many commentators argue that the Trump phenomenon is a fluke, fueled by his celebrity and almost cultlike following. Some of that is true. But right-wing populism isn’t going anywhere. It is being fueled by a deep backlash against the economic, political and cultural openness of the past few decades — and the urban elites supporting those trends.

An economic depression is not a "good economy".

 

[Into the Night]

Just wait until Kamala gets done "fixing" prices on homes and other goods. If you think it stinks to pay a lot for groceries, just wait until there's nothing to buy.

Here you have it right.

Kamala is proposing price controls. They always cause one thing: shortages.

Post your data refuting it.

RQAA. Stop mindlessly repeating your question, Hugo.

Yes, you prefer the fascism of Trump.

Redefinition fallacy (fascism<->capitalism).

Random phrase. Evasion. Answer the question put to you.

The "I know who you are but what am I" childish retort.

Fallacy fallacy. LIF. Grow up.

You're the one who made the claim, Fascist.

LIF. Grow up.

You claimed that Democrats support Fascism.

They do. He is correct.
