    Didn’t stop the voters’ feelings either.

    Shockingly, being told you are doing better when you’re still paying more than you can afford for food and shelter doesn’t suddenly make it true and makes you mistrust the person telling you that.

    Is the economy doing better on the macro scale? Yes, but when prices have only continued to increase from their COVID levels, the working class doesn’t see the improvement. We just keep seeing corps making record profits year after year while our savings (those of us who have any) disappears before our eyes.

    Disregarding the feelings of the working class like you are doing is one of many reasons Harris lost. Feelings aren’t easily swayed by facts.
