      This is exactly the mistake that the Dems made going into 2024. They shouted from the rooftops about how great Biden’s economy was, while completely ignoring how cost of living was destroying the average person.

      Trump has managed to make those problems even worse, fritter away the few good things Biden’s economy did have going for it (low unemployment, significant investment in certain manufacturing sectors) and now they’re doing exactly the same play. But it’s going to take the Dems waking the fuck up and actually offering real solutions on cost of living to capitalise on this. That’s how they won on the 4th; every candidate that won, from progressives like Mamdami to moderate centrists, talked about affordability, the one thing Biden and Harris refused to acknowledge.

      Presumably that’s all from stocks, so when the bubble pops they may be back to where they started.

      I mean, we can dream.
