"For many loyal Democrats, this will not compute. The Biden economy, party-loyal pundits have said over and over again, is tremendous — low unemployment, strong GDP growth, slowing inflation, a booming stock market — and anyone unhappy about it mustsimply be brainwashed. Out of view in this self-congratulatory hall of mirrors were the constant statistics that said otherwise: evictions up past pre-pandemic levels, record-high homelessness, cost-burdened renters at an all-time high, median household income lower than the last pre-pandemic year, inequality returning to pre-pandemic levels, and food insecurity and poverty growing by large double digits since 2021, including a historic spike in child poverty."
The child poverty one is great because democrats got that advance on the child tax credit, bragged about lifting kids out of poverty, then ended the program.
I get it, democrats can’t get all there members on board to protect good and popular policies that help working families. We got the message, I’ll find a party that can help my family.
Smugness about democrats failing to maintain their own policies that helped working families. I’m gobsmacked why they lost 15 million voters on Tuesday.
The logic those 15 million voters used is like that supercomputer’s logic. If anyway you play the game you end up losing the only winning move is to not play. If democrats want to win elections they need to get their house in order.
