I am bolder than Dem. Strategist Simon Rosenberg, I’ve been predicting that the pathway for a Democratic landslide is before us if we choose to follow the path.
When the sentence begins "Despite persistent inflation," Dems have already conceded the most important part of the argument. In my 64 years on this planet, this is the only time I can remember anyone paying any attention at all to inflation when it's only 3.x%. My savings account makes more interest than that, so I'm not feeling it at all, and where I work we've been able to keep wages ahead of it too (at every level). I know not everyone is in the same boat, but still, we continue to have a serious messaging problem.
Good point. Unfortunately, they beat us to the narrative as usual. We also need to change the fallacy that if you are explaining you are losing. We need to re-equate explaining with educating & learning which is necessary to make good decisions., IMHO.
