It's becoming a country of haves and have nots in never seen before extremes, and if you are a have I suspect things are very good - they are for me - rollo Aug 23, 11:46 4
- This is very true. Who is speaking for the downtrodden and the destitute? Both sides spout so much bullshit. Who has the courage to really change - Loyola Aug 23, 12:55 3
  - I disagree. - Inigo Aug 23, 12:59 2

      - In 2019 and 2020, Kamala and all primary Democrats were saying the same things. - Inigo Aug 23, 13:04
I'm not sure I'd go around making that statement. Affordability is a huge problem (housing, healthcare, childcare, education) -- nm - oblique Aug 23, 11:29 12
- inflation was a global phenomenon post-COVID and the US (along with every other metric) has handled it as well or better than any other western nation -- nm - mr mooch Aug 23, 11:35 10
  - All well and good, but Harris/Walz have voter's feelings/sentiment to contend with. "These darn prices! Ikr??" is def in the echo chamber. -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 11:57 5
    - inflation is under 3%. Fed is cutting interest rates finally. consumer sentiment jumped as soon as Biden dropped out. none of the behavior is rational -- nm - mr mooch Aug 23, 11:58 4
      - Good thing only rational people vote! -- nm - znufrii Aug 23, 12:12
      - That's interesting. Hope you're right -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 12:00 2
        
        it's not necessarily a good thing! -- nm - mr mooch Aug 23, 12:03 1
        
        See how dicey it gets! :) -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 12:15
  - unfortunately this is a "both things are true" sitch -- nm - rollo Aug 23, 11:48
  - it is the perception issue: my groceries cost more, gas is higher. - Epiphany Aug 23, 11:43 2
    - According to one poll I saw, people admit things are okay for themselves, but say they’re bad for other people. -- nm - mara Aug 23, 12:19 1
      - interesting -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 13:10
- It's been that way even under Trump. We as a country just decided to get mad about it and blame Biden. -- nm - Inigo Aug 23, 11:31
