3. Uh, what killed us was INFLATION

Biden and the Fed had managed to slow the rate but people still saw everything getting more expensive.

They had failed to talk about WAGES, which were rising just behind that inflation.

Gaza wasn't that big an issue to low information voters and not a major motivator to get them to the polls.

He's right about Harris being kept out of public view too long. He's right about Biden clining to office too long, only stepping aside when his health started to decline.

However, it's the economy, stupid, and it always will be. However,, Democrats can't campaign on one even as bad as this one is unless they are prepared to piss off the rich and corporate and do something about it. That's been a tall order for most of my lifetime.
