American Politics from 2019 on

[Sean Hayden]

Our lower inflation relative to other places is cold comfort to people who can't afford housing, transportation, medical care etc. Instead of denying reality, democrats should sympathize.

[Tero]

So Biden did not do anything? Trumpsters say he did the old thing. Someone got something. Not them.

[Brian Peacock]

Everyone gets a -nomics these days. Ratzonomics anyone?

[Sean Hayden]

It’s just gaslighting. So, the poster blamed Biden. So what. Are housing, transportation, and medical expenses more affordable now? Then why can’t the average voter blame who’s in power?

This is an area to score a different kind of point. What’s it going to hurt to agree that things are shit? That yes, even with governments I help get into office things don’t improve. If there are specific examples of how Republicans blocked progress then this is a good time to bring them up —after acknowledging the voter’s complaint.

No such measures will pass while Trump is in politics. Trumpsters call those socialism.

Abortion, elections, those are no cost fixeds, will be fixed after 2028.

Who knows when things will change. I'm just blowing steam.

[Sean Hayden]

Yeah, something like that. ssdd

A $100 Billion Wealth Migration Tilts US Economy’s Center of Gravity South

Call it the New New South. About 2.2 million people in the US moved to the Southeast in just over two years, helping steer about $100 billion in new income to the region in 2020 and 2021 alone. The area is now contributing more to the national economy than the Northeast, with its Washington-New York-Boston corridor. As Michael Sasso and Alexandre Tanzi write, the population shift also means more congressional seats and political power on the national scene.

The polls of job approval or popularity seem to be the most slanted polls. Most people seem to not hear the question: is he doing his job? They only seem to answer the question as "would you vote for him now if we had an election?"

With the absolute loyalty Trump is demanding, republicans disapprove about 93%. Independents not well tracked.

[Tero]

This is completely useless. Trump is going to be the candidate. They are wasting ad money. The ads will only affect the Trump vs Biden phase.

What's completely useless?

[Tero]

To put money in ads to defeat Trump in primaries.
