NO ONE IS SAYING THIS. No one is saying Dems should tell Americans they are wrong about the economy.
But Dems still need to understand why, when the economy is producing numbers that usually drive POSITIVE economic sentiment, voters are instead expressing NEGATIVE sentiment.
I continue to believe it's a bad strategy for Democrats to send out wealthy, educated liberals to tell Americans that they only believe they're economically struggling because they're dumb and confused, and instead they should be grateful for how good they have it:

Yesterday, @marwilliamson tried to explain this to you. Economic data can appear positive on paper while, due to the unfairness and inequality of the economic system, huge numbers of people still suffer. This used to be basic on the left before Biden.
People get their "information" from their experience:
1) One in four Americans live with medical debt.
2) 1.3 million are rationing their insulin.
3) 18 million can't afford to fulfill the prescriptions their doctors give them.
4) Tens of millions have college loan debt.
5) A third of American workers live on less than $15/hr and half of them can't find a place to live.
6) Half of our seniors live on less than $$25k/yr
7 We have the highest poverty rate among all advanced democracies.
I know. I know. If only more of them read The New York Times.
