Breitbart Business Digest: Democrats Downplayed Inflation and It Cost Them the White House

John Carney 14 Nov 2024

Democrats Refused to Believe Polls Showing People Disliked Biden’s Economy

One of the reasons Democrats were caught off guard by the strength of support for Donald Trump across America is that they underestimated the importance of inflation and economic conditions to voters.

The economy was the leading concern among U.S. registered voters heading into the presidential race, according to Gallup’s polling. In a field of 22 topics, the economy was the sole issue on which a majority—52 percent—of voters indicated that candidates’ stances were “extremely important” in shaping their choice. Voters favored former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris by nine points as the candidate more capable of managing the nation’s economic challenges.

Inflation ... immigration ... pronoun abuse ... the Dems screwed up, big time.  But, that is the Obama Agenda - ignore real world problems to fix imiginary academic intellectual existential problems.

For Biden and Obama, the needs of the few - college graduates, union members, pronoun abusers - outweight the needs of the many - food, energy, shelter.

Inflation impoverishes people, no matter how hard or how much they work.  It is a socio-economic-politically destablizing force.

It’s not just that they downplayed inflation, they told struggling Americans that they were too stupid to realize how good they had it, all the time speaking down from their inflation insulated high income lives. People like Poopie Goldberg with an estimated  net worth north of 60 million and an annual  salary(from just the view) of $8 million a year, who just claimed to be working class struggling to get by. I doubt even the mind numbed robot mental midgets in their audience believed what she was shoveling.
