  “It’s the economy stupid” is probably the most applicable statement to how political success happens across all systems and ages.

    and yet, despite all the ‘genius’ of our political consultants, they can’t seem to understand that. because they are so blinded by ‘social issues’, at least in the USA.

      It’s not so much that the political consultants don’t understand that. It’s more that they can’t do anything about it: That would mean changing our economic structure to help out the workers, rather than their rich friends.

      the USA politicians understand perfectly well that it’s all about the economic situation. yet they have already decided that they won’t tax the rich (because their rich friends say so) so they need to make up excuses and divert the attention to other topics instead. at least that’s how it has been for the last 3 elections that i actually looked at up-close.
