Summary
Gender bias played a significant role in Kamala Harrisās defeat, with many votersāoften womenāexpressing doubts about whether āAmerica is ready for a female president.ā
Some said they ācouldnāt see her in the chair,ā or questioned if a woman could lead, with one even remarking, āyou donāt see women building skyscrapers.ā Though some voters were open to persuasion, this often became a red line.
Oliver Hall, a Harris campaign volunteer, found that economic concerns, particularly inflation, also drove voters to Donald Trump, despite low unemployment and wage growth touted by Democrats.
Harris was viewed in conflicting ways, seen as both too tough and too lenient on crime, as well as ineffective yet overly tied to Bidenās administration.
Ultimately, Hall believes that Trumpās unique appeal and influence overshadowed Harrisās campaign efforts.
Maybe in a world where unions donāt exist (so give it a year or two)ā¦ But no, thatās absurd.
Union representation is a fraction of what it used to beā¦ or needs to be.

"the rate of union members is the lowest in decades at 10%,Ā according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A combination ofĀ labor laws unfavorable to unions and an uptick in corporate-backed union suppressionĀ tactics are two insights as to why union membership is so low in the 21st century.
In the 1950s, 1 in 3 workers were represented by a union. Now itās closer to 1 in 10."
What are you talking about? Unions work great in some countries, so donāt drag the whole world into your issues with it.
Eh, did you misread what he said?
