We lost (some of) the black men, the Hispanics, the youth and the first time voters.

The MSM doesn't know how to on report economic issues or on Trump and MAGA. Add to that the fact that Joe Biden's policies and actions had very little to do with rising inflation. People keep telling us that we need to craft a better message so that the masses will understand but it seems to me there is a great deal of economics illiteracy in this county that makes renders ineffective such attempts.

Our economy does seem designed to favor the investor class over the working class, and this shift has been happening since WWII and has become more more pronounced since the financial sector has grown in dominance, and with financial deregulation, has brought about major crises to our economic order (i.e., the tech bubble in the late 90's, the sub-prime housing fiasco in the 2000s).

I like the Democratic message of creating an economy that works for all workers. This message is simple and optimistic and should resonate with many Americans. Unfortunately, the message was undermined by rising costs attibutable to supply chain problems, some price gouging, the MSM's piss-poor reporting, and Trump's constant running-down of the economy.
