    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 🧠

      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.
