The post is a personal explanation based on economics but is not a political explanation for Harris's loss. Very true, and in the first sentence of my post I said that I evaluated both in economic policy terms because that's what I understand better than their political differences. I have a "gut" reaction to her politics, but I don't feel qualified to judge her in that arena other than in my own mind.
With decades in law, politics, and campaigns, it is hard for me to see elections except in those terms. I recognize though that economics and gut feelings are the foundation for how most of the electorate views politics. Have you ever seen
Ray C. Fair's election prediction model?
