    True, if very healthy means that the rate of decline for working class Americans was going down. Until that gets aggressively reversed, get ready for more and worse fascists every other election cycle. (For as long as free elections exist.)

      You are confusing the issue by bringing another issue into it.
      That working class is doing worse is another matter, and something that clearly already is getting worse under Trump.
      Harris would have been better for working class in every way. And would have been a better platform for promoting more left wing politicians than letting Republicans win.

      You are arguing a very strange point, to a degree it’s basically nonsensical.

        I’m not comparing Biden to Trump. That is just too easy and kind of masturbatory. Yes, I agree Biden was better than Trump, and Harris would be too. The world is more complicated than “red bad, blue good”. The important question is, when Trump is worse, why is he president?

        Democrats can continue to be better than Republicans in every way, and it won’t matter. Republicans have a narrative and Democrats don’t. That is the point that matters.

        I knew with absolute certainty that Biden would be a one term president and be replaced by a far worse fascist. I didn’t know it would be Trump v2, and I didn’t know Biden would far exceed expectations, but I knew he wasn’t what we needed to turn off that path.

        Democrats can’t keep repeating the same mistakes and getting surprised by the results.

          I don’t see how that is relevant to the fact that Trump inherited a sound economy?

            You claim the economy has nothing to do with the standard of living, inflation, or wages yet keep harping on about “how good the economy” was as if that means anything to anyone outside the top 1%. Why?

              You claim the economy has nothing to do with the standard of living,

              Absolutely not, I have no idea how you got to that conclusion?
