(11,203 posts)If all, or most, or even many, other developed countries were doing better at something than the US, one has more reason to wonder why TF can't we in America do this (for example: life expectancy, healthcare costs, and yes, income inequality).
Bash the US for income inequality, possibly, but for unemployment rates or inflation, nope.
And if people honestly believe Trump deporting immigrants (that this country relies on for cheap reliable labor) and raising tariffs is going to bring down prices they are ignorant or crazy. Ignorance can be fixed. The Democrats aren't good at messaging.
And Biden does empathize with struggling Americans. He has forgiven student loans and made medicines more affordable. He has done more for rural Republican majority areas than Trump ever has or will.
