Speaking of more of the same, keep on the message that it’s only ever Republicans that are responsible for anything and assuming there’s nothing for Democrats to do differently or better and we’ll just keep collecting your voters.
What has been the Dem message on the economy according to you? What I’ve seen is how great it’s been and voters were just too stupid to recognize it.
Didn’t you just say it’s only Repubs that are responsible for anything?
Considering the replies in this thread, this is actually funny.
Inflation rates are about the same as they were in 2019.“The insistence on Democrats’ poor messaging or on the public just not getting it once again underestimates the financial uncertainty engulfing the lives of ordinary Americans—especially those seen as the base of the Democratic Party—and their anger about it. Post-pandemic inflation has been devastating, reaching a forty-one-year high in 2022, and driving up the costs of food, gas, and housing. Inflation chewed through the significant wage increases among workers due to state-level wage hikes along with a tight pandemic-era labor market. In 2023, the median incomes of Black and Latino households barely rose year-over-year, even as inflation remained high. Democrats have insisted that inflation has dropped to “normal” levels, but this means only that the pace at which prices are rising is slowing. Sticker shock has not abated.”
The Pain Creating a New Coalition for Trump
Despair permeates white, Black, and Latino working-class life. Democrats will have to find a new way to speak to it.www.newyorker.com
Apologies for the pay wall and I don’t want to give the impression that the author is a Trump supporter or that he makes any arguments in favor of Trump, he definitely doesn’t. I think, though, this is a really good breakdown of how many Americans were/are genuinely hurting and why just telling them how good things really are didn’t resonate.
Awwww, poor Dem politicians. Nothing but under appreciated victims.
And yet some how I doubt you’ve ever accused the US population of being morons when a Democrat won an election.
Oh yeah, those voters having trouble paying for things should be glad and grateful it’s difficult right now and should only hope it gets even harder because that means the economy is great. They should just suck it up and quit whining.
Your party already ushered in an unprecedented transfer of wealth away from the working and middle class up to the elite technocrats using Covid as an excuse. It doesn't get any more blatant than that.
Conservatives began to believe the economy was great on November 6.
I think this the third or more time you posted something like this and I’m curious why you only care what conservatives think about the economy. You’re not trying to win us over, are you? I think Harris showed that’s a bad strategy by campaigning with Liz Cheney because you have far more to lose if you alienate your base. Are you saying that all those that who still don’t feel things are good for them in this economy are wrong and so you don’t care what they think?

According to you. Good grief, trying to explain to someone with a lefty ego that not everyone has to agree with them is damn exhausting.
Those empty shelves were during Covid when mostly lefties had everyone convinced it was the end of the ****ing world. I think it’s funny you blame Trump for what happened to the economy during Covid like we’ve all forgotten how much you actually wanted him (as much as he could) to keep things shut down much, much longer.Not sure what you mean. Consumer purchasing power for the average American is higher than ever. Not sure why you think we are having a record travel season this Thanksgiving if everyone is hurting so much.
It seems when you ask most people, they will tell you that they themselves are doing fine. They only THINK everyone else is hurting- because that's what they keep hearing on their propaganda channels.
“There is a great disconnect between how people perceive their own personal circumstances and how they perceive how the nation as a whole is doing,” said David Kelly, the chief global strategist and head of the global market insights strategy team at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. “That’s unlikely to change with the deluge of negative headlines about the economy from many news outlets.”
'People have just rendered a judgment': Inflation erodes Biden's wins
Low unemployment, real wage growth and a fast-growing economy should be providing a boost to the public’s perception of Biden’s economic policies. It hasn’t.
"63% of Americans rate their current financial situation as being "good," including 19% of us who say it's "very good."
- Neither number is particularly low: They're both entirely in line with the average result the past 20 times Harris Poll has asked this question.
Are they telling us they are all nostalgic for all this from those Trump golden years?
You may want to tell the incoming Trump administration that given some of their fiscal and financial policies.
