Random late night shower thought: did Kamala lose because of her cringey work virtue signalling?

 So...that debate got me thinking. Did Harris lose because of her stance on work? Here me out. Because I noticed a difference in rhetoric between the union guys in the senate debate tonight and harris. The senate candidates were arguing life should be easier. Harris was arguing "we dont want it easy, we like hard work, dont we?" It came off as tone deaf. Like, that rhetoric, at least for me, killed my enthusiasm for her. Because my stance is, "duh, if course life should be made easier." And even if the union guys didnt quite...fully get it and the senate candidates aren't as progressive as I am on this issue, there was a significant opinion of "yeah, life shouldn't be this hard." Conservatives valorize life being hard and how people who want it easy are lazy and want free stuff. But centrists come in like "NO, WE DONT WANT IT EASY, WE LIKE HARD WORK!" And here I am like, yeah I think we should be lazy and want free stuff and yeah I want an easy life. Who doesn't? Idk. Maybe im projecting my own stance but it feels like Harris leaned too hard into preaching conservative narratives that were cringey while the union guys aren't quite at my point of having an "entitlement complex", but they clearly do think that yeah life should be easier. And that's a positive rhetorical shift. Even if I dont see eye to eye with union guys on everything on these issues, just admitting that's a goal makes me a lot more sympathetic and a lot less combative. Like were actually on the same page here morally. With Harris I really dont feel like I even connected with her campaign on a moral level at all. I just had a visceral negative reaction to the work virtue signalling and it killed any enthusiasm I had. I wonder if im actually alone with that. A lot of union guys abandoned the democrats after all in 2024. Not really much of a surprise when you think about it. I REALLY dont want her to run again after her 2024 campaign. Her instincts were dead wrong and she capitulated to the center on everything. And it killed any enthusiasm she had going for her imo. Dems really are the uncanny valley of suck sometimes...
