Does he really think that the people he's trying to win over care more about sticking it to China politically at the expense of renewable energy than being able to afford basic goods? All those people have already been screaming at progressives that everything's their fault for 8 months.

Just imagine how good the economy will look when EV sales sore 300% even though people are buying the same amount and I'm still eating ramen noodles and stale bread just to survive.

Their strategy of telling people who make less mobey then basic necessities cost that the economy is doing great and working exactly as intended can't possibly backfire.

"If you're not rich it's because you're lazy or an idiot" is a great campaign slogan in a coubtry where 70% of people are paycheck to paycheck at best.

Hell I think that because the only options the democrats ever seem to have is to appeal to republicans instead of non-voter

Hey it only pisses off people who see overconsumption as a good thing because of their love of cheap consumer goods from china and people who see overconsumption as a bad thing because it kneecaps renewable energy.

Leaving the political genius with a voting base of....... ahh shit.

Every day, I slide closer to "there won't be any more elections Jack" as Biden's path to the Oval Office.
