Comment on Looks like Trump voters won’t ever be happy with a Biden economy

No, they certainly won’t.
May Democrats will flip and vote Republican over this economy. They’re paying massively inflated prices for gasoline and groceries, their rent has skyrocketed, and they’re having to work multiple jobs to survive.
Meanwhile the issue taking up time in Washington is finding a way to shovel more money into foreign wars that aren’t even ours.
Those chickens are going to come home to roost.

People were seeing those same stresses beforehand…and Democratic voters aren’t complaining about the economy. Almost like Krugman is correct about the idea that the complaints are due to partisanship.

Uh huh, and we elected Biden on the promise to change it. Three years later, it’s worsened, and voters likely will hold Biden accountable for that.
It’s not partisanship. It’s that people are struggling.

Funny how Democrats aren’t saying that:

And Republicans are:

Now, the world isn’t some perfect place, and there are people with very real struggles, but there’s a very clear partisan bias when you ask people this kind of question, and one that’s appeared in recent years.

There will always be a partisan bias on every issue.
The point is that you shouldn’t ignore the reality of how shitty this economy is for the people whose votes you want, and Dems seem perfectly content do that.
