Apparently, Nothing Matters

76. There are internal parts to how Democrats are perceived

Abortion was only the main issue for 17% of voters, even with women dying from restrictions on emergency care.

Trump tapped into Joe Sixpack. Remember him? To complicate that though, corporations are better than ever at raising prices and passing your money up the income scale. Private equity feeds that system more than ever..

Young voters are angry. No opportunity, and AI is about to steal the rest. No affordable housing. Trump will build them mansions.

Young voters think elders are swimming in it. I was warned of this in an econ course on Federal Budgeting. It's in inter-generational war. Greedy Geezers was a phrase from the Reagan era to describe this problem.

We didn't win any of these issues, and Democrats are defined by them. No politician can deliver cheap housing, universal business loans. The fiscal issues would feed inflation. The more you feed corporations and private equity, the worse the problem becomes. Working people are angry because they're losing their economic self-determination. They get only a part of the value they produce by working their job, and the goods they need and want are more expensive every year.

Trump will make all of these problems exponentially worse because he only listens to mega-billionsaires. Expect tax cuts, flatlining government services and payments, and inflation.
