(60,969 posts)I know I should not speak for my white then middle aged husband, but here goes. I KNOW he cared about women's rights and did so before he married me and had three brilliant daughters. Democracy's survival is not just for women, minorities, but for everyone. Police conduct is important for everyone - even if you are not targeted. Not to mention, he has friends who fit in less privileged categories. As to healthcare, everyone's health is better when everyone has access to decent healthcare, not to mention as a good person, even though we had healthcare through an employer, we cared that some in one of the richest countries in the world didn't. The same for housing affordability.
ANYONE who cares for people other than themselves would have thought those issues were important. As to the economy, the Obama/Biden administration's had dealt with the financial mess that exploded in 2008. Many actions were taken to improve the economy and they did work.
It is very hard to campaign as the incumbent party on improving the economy and toting the achievements was difficult, as there were many still struggling. You say that telling people that there will be a chicken in every pot, begs the question of whether the Obama administration failed if that were not true.
By the way, did you vote or did you stay home because she did not speak to you.
