People who unironically believe in trickle-down surprised-pika - ing when no one else gets the memo that it's working

going by the heuristic that "the economy" is code for "rich people's money" then yeah, probably

Strong economy? Well it's clear the rich are doing phenomenal. Profits higher than ever, stock market to new heights, and the highest growth in property values in history. All of these things are bad for workers.

So yes, the dems did lose because the economy is too strong.

Yeah, like you said, the democrats have won cuz they fulfilled their capitalist constituencies and now have shown no difference/demarcation from the Republican Party, in that regard

They're literally just doing "Am I out of touch? ...no, it's the voters who are wrong." but unironically.

there have been at least five or six major publication "explanations" about the stomping Harris experienced and these searches have always failed so far:

ctrl-F gaza
no results

ctrl-F israel
no results

ctrl-F genocide
no results

ctrl-F palestine
no results

ctrl-F war
no results

ctrl-F middle east
no results

ctrl-F lebanon
no results

the silence is deafening.

this is just like that time I was turned down for a date because I am so obviously the total package and they were afraid of how much they desired me.

I want to say I remember the same exact take with 2016, a year we have never escaped

It's all so tiresome.

Yes, it's good that inflation is down, but that does absolutely nothing to address prices as they are. Inflation is the derivative of price. You have to reckon with the area under the whole ass curve.

It's also annoying to hear about wage increases as if they go up every pay cycle. Most people I know (myself included) get an annual review and that's the only time pay increases occur. For that matter, I haven't gotten a raise to even keep up with inflation in nearly 3 years.

The adults in the room making excuses for their failure and listing one as just being too amazing for people to understand us really something.

Also if your writing an opinion piece don't make the title a question. Be assertive. A question isn't an opinion.

Could the Democrats have run such a good campaign that it caused an integer overflow?
