    The economy is traditionally measured by GDP growth, unemployment, and inflation. All those numbers were good when Harris was running.

    If you want to redefine “good economy”, that’s on you.

      Ah, so we only care about the numbers that show if the economy is working for the oligarchs, and not the working class?

      I don’t care if the economy is good for oligarchs, and makes it easy and profitable to exploit the working class… And, honestly, the working class voters don’t care if stonks go up, if their stomachs are empty.

      If you want to redefine “good economy”, that’s on you.

      I’m not “redefining” a “good economy”… There are many numbers behind an economy… Wealth distribution, maternal deaths, infant deaths, educational outcomes, monetary velocity, etc etc.

      We can pick any set of numbers to talk about, but objectively, the economy is not good, nor has it been good, for the working class since 2002 or so.

        Low unemployment only works for oligarchs?

        Low inflation only works for oligarchs?
