The ACA helped a lot of people. And it has clear provisions that you can point to a before and after. “Pre-existing conditions can not deny care”.
The economy under Biden wasn’t as bad as it could have been. But that’s about it. Most people suffered, and the D’s attempt to gaslight people into thinking that things weren’t so bad partially cost them the election.
“Bidenomics” is a slogan not a policy. I don’t think anybody, including the Republicans using the term, can point to anything it actually means, other than FJB.
“Bidenomics” was pretty much the same as Reganomics…
Trickle down still doesn’t work, and Biden/Kamal lying publicly that things were fine when the economy was shit for 90% of the population is a large part why they lost. But that’s literally what neoliberalism: republican fiscal.policy and supposedly Dem social policy. But they’ve been turning away from that too.
Like, they wouldn’t be as bad as trump, but it still wasn’t helping the average American.
A big problem was that the Democratic Party is out of touch and sitting on upper middle-class thrones with absolutely zero understanding of what voters are asking for.
The layperson is, for better or worse, undereducated. When Jimmy Twojobs is complaining about “the economy,” he’s not complaining about the country’s economy—he’s complaining about the cost of living. He doesn’t give a fuck about the actual economy as definee in a dictionary, he’s barely making ends meet.
When the Democratic Party sees Jimmy complaining about “the economy,” they point towards the GDP and growth of the stock market to convince him that the economy is fine. Jimmy doesn’t have investments, it doesn’t help him in the slightest to know that the millionaires are making millions more. The only thing Jimmy learns from that interaction is that Democrats don’t seem to care about his struggles. Republicans are promising Jimmy lower egg prices, and that’s something that will help him afford rent, though.
And that’s how we end up with people voting against their own economic interests. The party that will sit around twiddling their thumbs won’t promise anything, and the party that will make things worse promises to make things better.
