Summary

Donald Trump has shifted focus away from the economy, despite using inflation as a campaign issue.

With Biden presiding over strong job growth, low unemployment, and easing inflation, Trump faces difficulty critiquing the economy.

Democrats aim to capitalize by framing Trump as responsible for economic challenges and advocating for voter-friendly economic priorities.

Historically, disciplined messaging on pocketbook issues has delivered major midterm victories for both parties.

        Yah Democrats are the version of Republicans that hedges their bet that accountability matters to the public to some degree and acts somewhat accordingly. That bet has proven false. Pure manipulation and lies will define politics for the foreseeable future unless some kind of massive voter backlash occurs in the very near future.

        This is lemmy, not reddit. There’s a better than average chance the person you are talking to is a leftist and not a fascist.

        I have a hard time watching what democrats do to progressives and concluding that they are interested in democracy. Republicans are obviously worse in the way that they govern but at least in the way they run their primary they may be more democratic. They didn’t stop Trump from winning the nomination. Their voters got exactly what they asked for. I haven’t felt that way about a dem primary in almost 20 years.

        am a US dissident unable to cast a vote for either of the two puppets thanks

        Democrats and Republicans both my entire life have worked together to make laws and policies that have kept progress at bay
