    I mean, just saying “you’re wrong, actually the economy is good” worked out like ACES for Biden, so I see only upside to this strategy.

      Spot on. This is Biden’s policy extended. We’ve been a slow rollout in the recession for years. It’s just affecting more people now.

      At least Dems and the media will acknowledge a bad economy under a Republican president.

              Democrats do, too. They’re controlled by the same megadonors. But the media only covers it under republicans.

                Oh you’re a both sider. Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t bother responding but since it’s just the two of us I’ll say this: tax cuts are always initiated under republicans with a sunset period. The reality of politics means you can’t let the sunset period last, which means yes democratic controlled governments (like 2010) will indeed vote to keep the tax breaks because the alternative is getting voted out and then there being another round of new tax breaks. The motivation matters.

                  If your claim held any water, and delivering on promises to left-leaning voters was actually political suicide, then Democrats wouldn’t need to spend millions of dollars suing every alternative to their left off the ballots.
