In a surprising revelation during a critical election season, Democrats are suddenly fretting over Kamala Harris’s failure to effectively communicate an economic message. While it’s amusing that they’re catching on a little too late, the real issue is crystal clear—Kamala Harris doesn’t actually have an economic message to share. The deep-seated anxiety among Democratic strategists not only showcases their disconnect from reality but also underscores their desperation as they attempt to divert attention from the grim economic legacy of the Biden administration.
Despite the Democratic establishment’s hopes, Harris is failing to inspire voters. Instead of addressing the pressing concerns of American families grappling with inflation and uncertain job prospects, she is preoccupied with bashing former President Trump. This strategy has backfired spectacularly, as polling indicates many voters are simply not motivated by tired attacks on a figure they are all too familiar with. It’s almost as if Harris thinks that slinging mud will distract from her own inadequacies—spoiler alert: it doesn’t.

As the campaign nears its conclusion, the Harris camp has promised to pivot toward economic issues. However, it seems misguided that her candidacy still relies heavily on fanfare surrounding non-economic topics like abortion rights or character critiques of Trump. Even the star-studded rallies featuring Michelle Obama and Bruce Springsteen seem unable to mask the hollow nature of her economic proposals, which appear to be nothing more than recycled sentiments of envy disguised as policy.
The attempt by Democratic insiders to downplay Trump’s narrative about the state of the economy is laughable at best. Claims that “none of that is true” suggest a profound denial about the reality working-class Americans are facing. With labor participation rates still lagging and inflation hovering at levels higher than during Trump’s presidency, the Democratic narrative stands on shaky ground. It’s less about Trump’s rhetoric and more about the undeniable truth of the struggles millions are experiencing under current leadership.
Kamala Harris’s supposed economic platform boils down to the tired trope of making the wealthy “pay their fair share.” This isn’t an economic strategy; it’s an excuse to cultivate class envy and drive a wedge between Americans. Unlike Trump, who has a wealth of experience from the private sector, Harris has been largely insulated from the realities of running a business or creating jobs. This lack of practical financial understanding makes her ill-equipped to discuss the economy credibly.
The crux of the issue is that Harris lacks a coherent economic message because she simply does not grasp what makes an economy thrive. Her inability to connect with the electorate on these fundamental issues reinforces the idea that the Democrats, led by figures like Harris, are out of touch with the very citizens they claim to represent. Instead of questioning why her message isn’t resonating, perhaps it’s time for them to acknowledge that the message itself is fundamentally flawed.
