44. I feel your rage, but...

Life is very hard for a lot of people right now, and it only got harder during the Biden administration. Things got more expensive, people can't afford a place to live in most metro areas, health care is worse and costs more, wages have not kept up, etc.

I get it, Harris had a lot of good ideas to help. Many of those things aren't the Biden administration's fault.

But many people remember they had it better under Trump when the Obama economy was delivering for them.

It's not fair, but there it is.

Also, racism and misogyny are either things people can convince themselves aren't real or aren't dealbreakers for them.
