By many metrics, the US economy is humming along. The jobs market is robust; consumers are spending again; and inflation has eased to a three-year low.
It’s disconcerting that someone elected to represent me doesn’t see that.
He’s a wealthy career politician in his 80’s I’d be surprised if he wasn’t out of touch with the vast majority of the population. I certainly didn’t vote for him in the Democratic primaries, but he’s much better than the alternative.
I don’t disagree that he’s better than the alternative, but at a certain point, the government ceases to help anyone but its donors. We may be at that point.
“Wealthy career politician” is a group that does not really represent anyone, so ideally it shouldn’t exist.
I don’t disagree with you either, but I’m not sure what to do about it other than to continue to vote for people that I do think will represent me and then vote for the least shitty choice after none of those people make it past the primaries.
