Democrats are not going to win in 2024 by telling people that the economy is on the upswing. For the vast majority of Americans, it is not. We will not win by contradicting the visceral experience of the majority of voters. We will win by validating the pain and frustration, and addressing the despair, of those who the system consistently leaves out. #marianne2024

Levels of financial hardship and food insecurity were higher last year than they were in 2020. So far, this year is even worse:

Abortion, voting rights, gay rights, Broken and biased SCOTUS, GUNS-GUNS-GUNS and the integrity of congress and you're telling me the Dems aren't fired up. The economy is doing fine, the price of food is high and that's what the issue is.

YES, a fact also reflected in this👇graph. Worsening "credit card" debt, a whopping $986 B now, "unchanged" from 2022!!! Debt came down briefly in '20/'21 when "free money" was flowing in, but has since exploded! Also, 2023 is 1st time in 22 yrs when CC debt DID NOT fall in Q1!

Unfortunately, we have a problem in America where 95% of Democratic voters are idiots. We have more people who would want to vote M Obama as president than you, even after M Obama said multiple times she has no interest running for president.

I'm a Democrat. If the choice is between you and Trump, I'll have to reluctantly vote Trump. You're a motivational speaker, you have no qualification to run anything, much less the US government. Your "candidacy" is a joke. At least we survived Trump's first term..

Would you rather be right or see trump regain the White House & pardon himself and the entire gang of maggots who tried to overthrow the government? Yes, hold Biden's feet to the fire but do not take a single vote from him. All American's deserve a simple, clear-cut choice.
Replying to @marwilliamson
For the Democrats to win, they'll have to get rid of Biden, Harris, and apologize for their allegiance to War and Wall Street over the "American People." Only the first part of that will happen which leaves an opening for others, but Democrats need to grovel for votes.

The validation of suffering has been validated now for decades - calling it "mental health issues" ( Thomas Szasz ) rather than the Moral Decline of a Nation! DO YOU THINK THAT EVEN 60% of the POPULATION UNDERSTOOD YOUR POINT ABOUT MORAL , RATHER THAN , POLITICAL PRINCIPLES?

It depends on your POV. The economy is great for the wealthy. Not so much for the middle class & poverty class. I appreciate some of what Biden has done but I also realize he can only do so much with a closely divided Congress. Still, he should & stop playing nice w/Republicans.
