i agree completely that its all about the economy. i would also suggest that Harris has not made a good case for tying her policies to that economy. but she has lots of ammunition to do so...
the economy is better than it has ever been in the US. GDP and the stock market are at all time highs. so are corporate profits. unemployment is as low as its ever been. the problem is that the bottom half of the population are not seeing any of that wealth. income disparity is at an all time high. the rich have been getting richer and the poor more poor for 40 years. the richest people are 10 times richer than they were just a decade ago... are the poor 10 times richer? of course not!
Trump literally tries to claim that the Biden administration is responsible for the rash of inflation felt by the lower half recently. and yet, it was a global inflation brought on by COVID shutting down supply chains and then delay in those channels firing up again. lower unemployment doesn't help either.
all Trump did was cut the corporate tax rate by 14%! did you hear about any working people getting a tax rate cut of 14%? that added trillions to the national debt. and now the guy wants to go back a hundred years and rely on import tariffs for tax income. i'm just waiting to hear that he's going to cut tax rates across the board the same amount because his tariff plan is going to work so well. this all adds up to the same old desires of the business class that drives the politics of "conservatives" in most western democracies... abandoning
PROGRESSIVE TAXATION and installing
REGRESSIVE TAXATION.
the common voter... especially the rural poor, needs to wake the fuck up and realize that this is what drives "conservative" politics and that "woke" and other populist crap is a ruse. if you're rich then its totally understandable to vote "conservative". but if you are not rich and voting "conservative" then you're just... misinformed. or not capable of enough reason to put it together.
