My rent just went up $200 a month, has NEVER happened before. How can you lie when people are living the reality of inflation every day?
The economy sucks for most people

I’m disappointed in you mehdi. I didn’t think you were a corporate dem shill. My wages aren’t growing my monthly expenses are increasing. Rent/mortgage/college is unthinkable right now but sure if you get a nice msnbc paycheck the economy is fine….

Mehdi, did you consult any working class folks for this DNC propaganda? Housing is at an all time crisis, people are working three jobs to get by. Grow some humility!

Reports like this are why increasing numbers of voters think Dems are catastrophically out of touch; Ordinary people are completely f’d right now by inflation and skyrocketing food/gas prices. Explaining it away closes ears, fast.
