    No one was against Biden because of his record

    I wish that was true, but there are a giant number of people who think the economy is in the toilet. While inflation has been coming down, prices did go up, and inflation coming down doesn’t lower prices, it just makes them go up more slowly. Keeping the economy strong while also lowering prices isn’t realistically going to happen, but people don’t get that. They think it was better under Trump because prices were lower then.

      Nah. No one thinks the economy is in the toilet. They just want their income to go up too. They want what billionaires are getting.

        They really do. I’ve heard it personally, and it comes up in news articles. Perception and reality aren’t the same. The Republican spin machine is frustratingly effective.
