“What if the reason I lost the fight was because I’m too strong?”
Why do these poors not understand that my stock portfolio is doing great?
Exactly. Everyime i hear the “strong economy” I’m always enraged that this supposedly “smart” people can’t understand such a simple concept that the economy doesn’t equally or equitably share its bounty. I hate dumbshits, but i REALLY hate smart fucks.
It really is incredible. The original article implies it is ELITIST to think that poor people thought the economy was doing badly (despite the fact that real wages were lower than when Biden took office).
"Our mechanism doesn’t rely on voters acting irrationally by ignoring the strength of the economy and focusing only on the price of milk and eggs. "
The price of food, famously an irrelevant concern that people would be irrational to be bothered about. (of course, their main evidence that the economy is good is primarily the GDP)
Agriculture is only 5% of the GDP so food is pretty much irrelevant
Way for them to tell in themselves as thinking their audience is only rich people.
Opinion | Shut the fuck up
People who unironically believe in trickle-down - ing when no one else gets the memo that it’s working
This is a strong economy, right?
Have you seen the prices of basic goods? Our wages?
THE ECONOMY IS STRONG AND ITS BECAUSE OF US, VOTE
there have been at least five or six major publication “explanations” about the stomping Harris experienced and these searches have always failed so far:
ctrl-F gaza

no resultsctrl-F genocide
no resultsctrl-F palestine
no resultsctrl-F war

no resultsctrl-F lebanon
no resultsthe silence is deafening.
going by the heuristic that “the economy” is code for “rich people’s money” then yeah, probably
Strong economy? Well it’s clear the rich are doing phenomenal. Profits higher than ever, stock market to new heights, and the highest growth in property values in history. All of these things are bad for workers.
So yes, the dems did lose because the economy is too strong.
Yeah, like you said, the democrats have won cuz they fulfilled their capitalist constituencies and now have shown no difference/demarcation from the Republican Party, in that regard
They’re literally just doing “Am I out of touch? …no, it’s the voters who are wrong.” but unironically.
this is just like that time I was turned down for a date because I am so obviously the total package and they were afraid of how much they desired me.
The adults in the room making excuses for their failure and listing one as just being too amazing for people to understand us really something.
It’s all so tiresome.
Yes, it’s good that inflation is down, but that does absolutely nothing to address prices as they are. Inflation is the derivative of price. You have to reckon with the area under the whole ass curve.
It’s also annoying to hear about wage increases as if they go up every pay cycle. Most people I know (myself included) get an annual review and that’s the only time pay increases occur. For that matter, I haven’t gotten a raise to even keep up with inflation in nearly 3 years.
I want to say I remember the same exact take with 2016, a year we have never escaped
Decades where weeks happen
goon of the intellect, bust of the will
Shoulda gone with volcel of the will
Ground hog year

Also if your writing an opinion piece don’t make the title a question. Be assertive. A question isn’t an opinion.
