   If there’s one thing that pretty much everyone agreed on prior to last   
   week, it’s that Kamala Harris has horrible, and I mean truly ghastly,   
   political instincts.   
      
   Case in point:   
      
   The AP reports (archive link):   
      
   All of a sudden it’s Kamala Harris ‘ economy — a major opportunity as   
   well as a possible risk for the likely Democratic presidential nominee.   
      
   Shortly after President Joe Biden left the race a week ago, Harris began   
   to craft her own narrative around the economy by putting an emphasis on   
   ending child poverty, promoting labor unions, reducing the costs of   
   health and child care and protecting “dignity” in retirement.   
      
   Not once in speeches in Wisconsin, Indiana or Texas did she mention the   
   word “inflation” — the overwhelming economic challenge that has dogged   
   Biden’s administration and forced him in remarks to consistently   
   acknowledge voters’ pain as they cope with higher grocery, gasoline,   
   housing and auto expenses.   
      
   Harris is putting a bigger priority on what she says could be ahead.   
      
   “In our vision of the future, we see a place where every person has the   
   opportunity not just to get by but to get ahead — a future where no   
   child has to grow up in poverty, where every senior can retire with   
   dignity and where every worker has the freedom to join a union,” Harris   
   told the American Federation of Teachers on Thursday.   
      
   This is completely tone deaf and absolutely appalling. Americans are   
   very much suffering under record high cost of living. Everything from   
   groceries, to utilities, to rent/mortgages, to homeowner’s insurance,   
   and beyond is so incredibly expensive that many people in America are   
   truly hurting.   
      
   To address that with, oh nevermind about such tedious distractions like   
   buying food and having a roof over your head, just imagine my bright   
   Utopian future in which we are singing songs of communal praise from our   
   state-run, state-monitored 15-minute cities/ant houses/panopticon prisons.   
      
   Terrible on every single level. It completely misses, even dismisses,   
   the very real pain and suffering that the Biden-Harris economy has   
   caused. It is disdainful of Americans who are struggling, practically   
   telling them that their hunger, their pain is not important at all.   
      
   But we are supposed to believe that this same uncaring, unsympathetic,   
   cold shrew has a caring, compassionate plan . . . for some far off   
   future? One that will magically manifest from the ruins of the America   
   Last Biden-Harris economy? Surreal.
