I swear you are allergic to reading. How many of those links have you actually looked at?
It was both a messaging issue and a policy issue. Ignoring the bad foreign policy of the campaign and also the lack of messaging on the popular policies, or how Harris shyed away from popular policy messaging, doesn’t change the reality that her campaign was a failure. If the failures aren’t actually addressed, nothing will change.

It was the Democrat’s strategy that resulted in low voter turnout. The votes were up for grabs, they ran away from them.It’s not like the campaign was unaware of what messaging and policies were unpopular. They chose to ignore it. They chose to run to the right on policy and messaging.If they gave a shit about being an opposition to fascism, about actually winning, they would have heeded all the warning signs and run a different campaign. Instead they prioritized the interest of their capital donors, and gave a fuck you to their constituents that they are supposed to represent.

The Democratic Party is the one compromising with fascism. As Liberals have done historically and continue to do so.

Chinese investment has already been magnitudes better than African nations than Western neo/colonialism has been. Equating the two is insane

Meanwhile, every accusation is a confession
Both the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank have been accused of predatory lending practices to keep emerging economies in debt, including: demanding structural adjustment programmes as a condition for loans, often to governments who see these loans as a last resort,[63][64][65] pressuring for privatization and exerting undue influence over central banks.[66][67][68][69] The founder of the activist network Committee for the Abolition of Illegitimate Debt wrote: “The World Bank and the IMF have systematically made loans to states as a means of influencing their policies.”[70] [better source needed] The IMF has used geopolitical considerations, rather than exclusively economic conditions, to decide which countries received loans.[71]

6·4 days agoYou don’t think freedmen during reconstruction weren’t expecting to be reimbursed after finally becoming free of chattel slavery?
The arguments surrounding reparations are based on the formal discussion about many different reparations, and actual land reparations received by African Americans which were later taken away. In 1865, after the Confederate States of America were defeated in the American Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman issued Special Field Orders, No. 15 to both “assure the harmony of action in the area of operations”[29] and to solve problems caused by the masses of freed slaves, a temporary plan granting each freed family forty acres of tillable land in the sea islands and around Charleston, South Carolina for the exclusive use of black people who had been enslaved. The army also had a number of unneeded mules which were given to freed slaves. Around 40,000 freed slaves were settled on 400,000 acres (1,600 km2) in Georgia and South Carolina. However after Lincoln was assassinated, President Andrew Johnson reversed the order. The land was returned to its previous owners, and black people were forced to leave. In 1867, Thaddeus Stevens sponsored a bill for the redistribution of land to African Americans, but it did not pass.
Or that prisoners are frequently victim to an even additional level of wage theft on top of the already cents per hour they earn?
However, the wages pocketed from labor both within and outside prisons are typically significantly minimized, as prisons deduct as much as 80% of individuals’ wages to cover costs like room and board, court-imposed fines, taxes, and restitution.[22] Individuals are often left with half of their gross pay and an inability to afford basic necessities or contribute to their post-release reintegration efforts.[23] Further exacerbating the problem, the cost of items available in commissaries is steeply marked up—in extreme cases, as much as 600 percent—compared to typical retail prices.[24]
