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.
America voted for this.
no that is an inaccurate statement that fails to paint the full picture
a portion of the citizens that went through an extremely underfunded education system while dealing with heavy metals and other pollution that both parties have failed to do anything about that then came of age in a country without free healthcare and living wages or without affordable childcare while also being bombarded by toxic culture and watched by an overfunded police force the entirety of their natural lives voted
the rest of those citizens either did not vote or were imprisoned by bipartisan politics that kept them locked up with some of them used as prison slaves for corporations
US elections are a scam bought, paid for, and ran by corporate overlords
You can’t simply absolve personal responsibility in a free society. We have so much knowledge at our disposal, people decide not to engage with it and live their version of reality because anything else is threading on their freedoms. Many in our society choose to be the way they are, or at least choose not to give a chance to be different.
I refuse to absolve people of their personal responsibility because the moment I do that I am asserting that people do not have free will and if I do that then I have to believe in authoritarianism because it would mean that people do not posses the ability to make choices by themselves and so they need someone wiser to take them in their stead.
this sounds like a copout. We are lucky to have the democratic system we have now and it was our fault we have allowed the loss of what we had before citizens united and not gotten it back to where we were or further and it will be all of our fault if we continue to let it slide. Trump won do to the way people voted or did not vote no matter how they want to rationailze their actions or inaction now.
