I think even those guys just want to rage at disadvantaged people and bully them. They certainly don’t want to have to do the dirty work themselves.

He’s getting roasted for not understanding how produce is sold but I just wonder if his grocery store provides shopping baskets. Here, some do, some don’t and you have to go with a cart. I suppose carrying a bunch of crap while having someone film you is a choice.

You can laugh, but this inflation stuff is just gasoline on what was already a dumpster fire of midterm election prospects. It’s going to be VERY effective.
Because people are fucking idiots who can never be happy. If we didn’t have inflation they’d be bitching about the stagnant economy. You can’t please them and there’s no use trying.

There’s no pleasing the deporables and deplorable adjacents, but when Republicans say “INFLATION, INFLATION, INFLATION. Your quality of life is worse because of Joe Biden and the Democrats” and Democrats counter with word salad, I have a pretty good idea of how that is going to work on low-info voters.

I just don’t think it matters what Dems do though. There is no good counter because Dems never reach most of those people.
Democrats simply never give anyone an affirmative dopamine hit generating reason to vote for them. All of our current politics comes down to this simple point. There is no emotional payoff.

maybe democrats need a quick victorious war…. errr special election operation
well word salad is irrelevant, there just is no argument that would work period. Even on higher info voters. It’s simple the people who don’t have money are feeling it and for the just give them money crowd, that makes inflation worse so that’s not great.
Right they’ll always find and hammer something, they were always good at that. O care for instance hurt obama and that actually was better than before for many people.
That’s because Democrats haven’t done dick to help people.
It’s easier to deflect from the bad stuff if you can point to some good stuff.
VA dems still got hammered out of office, didn’t matter and they did a lot and that was before this level of inflation
Republicans actively hurt their base and it just makes them madder and more likely to vote republican.
Everyone is so fucking angry right now on both sides - I don’t know if midterms will ever go well for the president’s party again.
