Groceries and housing are unaffordable, and any voter who complained about the issue to the incumbent party were ignored, or were outright told their experience with high prices wasn't real (which is called gaslighting). So people went with the alternative, who acknowledged their issue and provided very bad, very stupid solutions, but solutions nonetheless. This is the exact same situation that happened in 2016 on the issue of jobs being sent overseas (remember when out of work coal miners were told to "learn to code"?). Really, this outcome was very easy to predict.

Almost every single Harris ad I saw was about how groceries and housing was too expensive. Two of the 3 pillars of her campaign were about price-gouging on staple goods and increasing access to home purchase. How was the issue not acknowledged?
