Trump wins presidency for second time

It's the economy, stupid:

-Inflation is not prices; it is the rate of change in prices. Low inflation doesn't imply low prices. -Aggregate statistics don't necessarily explain individual outcomes.

The Dems failed on this count massively, and have, for maybe the last 40 years, which is about the amount of time it took for my state to go from national bellwether (As goes Ohio, so goes the nation) to a reliably red state. This cost one of the most pro-union Senators (Sherrod Brown) his job.

What was their failure here? The failure to explain to the economically illiterate that while inflation is now about where it was prior to covid that prices won't be going down (unless there's some sort of major recession leading to deflation)?

Yes! That is exactly their failure! As explained by the venerable poets, "The Doobie Brothers":

>But what a fool believes, he sees

>No wise man has the power to reason away

>What seems to be

>Is always better than nothing

>Than nothing at all

By failing to meet the economically illiterate at their level, the DNC campaign looked completely oblivious to those they were trying to help.

Pretty much this.

DNC forgot that in polls, the American electorate prefers a bigger 1/4 lb hamburger to the smaller 1/3 lb one.
