People are struggling. Some had a rough time during COVID, and some are having a rough time with Trump right now. Wages for most Americans have pretty much been stagnant while the rich keep getting richer. Housing costs keep rising, grocery costs keep rising, healthcare costs keep rising yet wages are stagnant and the middle class is getting beat down. All the other issues pale in comparison.

As Carville once best said it, "it's the economy, stupid."

Economic populism is the key to the Dems future

As it is for the Republicans. The D vision is "free everything for everyone, paid for by rich people". The R vision is "lower taxes, more $ in your pocket to spend as you like" instead of "we'll take your money through higher taxes and redistribute it to get more votes". So far, the R vision is prevailing.

Yup. I earn it and want to decide how it is spent. Not have some jerk administrator in an ivory tower in Washington DC decide how MY labor is spent.

Republicans depend on infrastructure and tax funded benefits just as much as anyone else. More so in many ways

Well you voted to spend it on borrowing money that your kids have to pay back and building detention camps so that we can have a big fat prison industry for all of your kids to work in.

Sure....borrowing trillions of dollars may put a little money in your pocket today so so you can burden your children and grandchildren and other future generations with having to pay it all back for you.

Why do you not feel the same about your hard-earned money going to Israel? Over the past decades, Israel has received over 300 BILLION dollars in US taxpayer money. Why do you not have an issue with that?

When are we getting that Islamophobic sack of trash Gillibrand censured and impeached/expelled from her seat?

We don’t need Senate seats filled by weirdos who think that the hand gestures of a comedian are a greater sin than the words of a racist, intolerant demagogue who has only done damage to their own party in the past 10 years. Sayonara, Kirsten!

Well, other than in actual results over the last 40 years of "trickle down" economics.

The most vocal critics of Mamdani are Zionists, yet they always stay silent when this is raised. New York ranks #1 of all US cities in terms of highest amount of taxes being sent to Israel.

During which the economy has flourished, albeit with ups and downs along the way. GDP has grown an average of a little over 3% annually over the last 40 years. Incomes have grown an average of 1.6% annually, on average. Lower income households saw a lower rate of growth, but they still saw growth.

Doesn't seem like anything to complain about.

Nobody cares. Why aren't you whining about remittances sent abroad by immigrants, money which leaves the U.S. economy? Maybe you'd like to snivel about U.S. participation in NATO - foreign countries! "Zionists" as the bogeyman isn't playing well.

Not playing well.

The whiff of desperation behind that statement is putrid …
