Whoa, this is a real well thought out post here that I'd have to say I agree with.
I think the Republican party (not republican voters) has been fixated on the stock market which is not something that everyday people care about. Continuing to talk about how the market is reaching new highs is not something that people who lost their jobs in Pennsylvania, West Virgina, Michigan, etc. Stock prices going up doesn't change the fact that coal jobs are most likely gone, manufacturing too (esp auto), etc.
That doesn't even take into account Corona, which has killed so many peoples lives while the stock market is doing just fine.
But yes. It's the economy stupid. AND THE REAL ECONOMY, not the stock market.
At last someone else on the internet who gets it.
The stock market it not the economy.
Crap low paying jobs are not the same as skilled jobs / trade jobs.
And my favorite. Ignoring change and advancement because you don't like it does not mean that it's going away.
