I don’t think that was the message though. As a sober, factual person I heard the economy is better than under trump. Which it was. Its clear the inflation that reared up two months into bidens administration was from trump and this was mentioned but its just a hard sell because regular folk don’t get the lagging effects. Biden would talk about this stuff in his speeches but the press was all. Oh he sounds so old and tired. No one cared about the content unfortunately.
The economy was bad instead of horrible, because of the ripples of Covid still fucking with the economy.
Having a bad economy and pointing at it like it is something to campaign on was a huge mistake, it wasn’t a horrible economy, but it was far from good.
For regular people a good economy means their spending power proportionally increased. And in a tangible way.
Well I think they were trying to say its an improvement. At least that is how I heard it. I feel the saying its great was more of a manipulation of things in media even just pushing with questions to get biden to say something like great when the original message was improvement and when he said great its in relation to what we had. Certainly healthier. Problem is its the same story. You got to stabilize what you have before you can really make improvments. luckily you can nose dive it at any time. easy peazy.
They shouldn’t have ever drawn attention to a bad economy in the first place, especially if that means trying to phrase a bad economy as a good thing, even if relatively speaking the economy was good
all economies are relative. it was good compared to what we had more recent of it. going in a good direction is something to talk about. You want to go in the direction of good than bad.
