A larger portion still look at their checkbook from week to week,
and may have missed all that false drama....

I believe that we lost the last election on economic issues more than anything else
(although those who voted against Harris may not have understood

Nothing in my OP is meant to imply that we can reach such people--
but elections are not decided by the true believers of either party
