    It doesn’t matter if wages are rising now, 2 years of inflation eroded real wages which is only now starting to rise. Also, all the COVID era benefits are cut off now. I do not think all the ‘disposable income’ statistics show increased mortgage and healthcare costs.

    There is also the fact that the jobs created are dogshit.

    Disregarding the economic discontent as “partisanship” is stupid because there is no data showing that it is exclusively chuds complaining about economy. Maybe ask poor black people who have always voted democrat.

    Biden might be able to turn the elections (yes even with his support for genocide and Israel cucking him) if he increases welfare and gives stimulus checks but he is too neoliberal brained to do it.

    After all the establishment dems love Nicki Haley who is always harping on about how bad the national debt and deficit is. Trump meanwhile never mentions the same.

        Just buy stock in a real estate company so you become the owner of 0.003% of their estate which must be at least one house 🧠

      Maybe ask poor black people who have always voted democrat.

      They did do this for the WaPo I believe. And the comments are all livid and make fun of the voters for “keeping themselves poor” by “voting for trump” even though the explicitly said they have no interest in voting for either candidates, but Biden, the man they did vote for previously, has completely ignored their problems.

    It doesn’t matter if every single American can instantly become a trillionaire if they declare their allegiance to Biden. If no one has faith in you, if no one sees the so called benefits, if no one understands the so called benefits, that’s your problem as a fucking leader.

    The other half of leadership is communicating progress. If you can’t spread propaganda about how good you are or information about how your voters can benefit from the so called good economy, then you have failed as a leader.

    I know liberals don’t care about socialism, so this is just for the choir. Imagine if after a revolution there is 0 propaganda about the new order and everyone just continues living as if Jeff Bezos is still lobbying the government. That’s a failure of the new socialist government. Instead you just scold them and shoot them for being counter revolutionaries even though they have no idea what the fuck you’re on about

    I got promoted at work this year, many new responsibilities, but the company’s financials aren’t good currently (publicly traded) so I got a paltry 3% raise, half of which was immediately consumed by my rent going up.
