ノア・スミスのコラムを読むと、前回のヒラリー・クリントンとトランプの戦いと、今回のカマラ・ハリスとトランプの戦いの違いについての解説が興味深い。

特にカマラ・ハリスの敗因について、バニー・サンダースの分析が興味深く、それはつまり第二次トランプ政権が誕生したことの意味や背景の解説にも通じるとしている。バーニー・サンダースは筋金入りの共産主義者ではあるが、一方、現代のアメリカ政治の中の問題点も指摘していて、なるほど、この人が民主党の中で一定の支持を集める理由も分かる。
Sen. Bernie Sanders…said Democrats lost the 2024 presidential election because they relied too much on talking about race, gender and sexual orientation…Sanders…said Vice President Harris didn’t spend enough time talking about how to help working-class Americans by raising the minimum wage and lowering the cost of health care…
“What were they going to do to address the fact that so many people in America are struggling? Does it have anything to do with the greed of corporate America? The fact that you have a billionaire class that wants it all, they want to own the political system? Does anybody really talk about the degree to which the people on top own this country and want more and more and couldn’t give a damn about ordinary Americans?” he asked.
