(it wasn't really Biden's fault or the democrats' fault, it was a global issue and pretty much every country has dealt with high inflation in the last few years. The US's inflation has been about average internationally, maybe even a bit lower than average.)

Why this sucks:

since Gaza protest voters weren't actually a difference maker, there's not as much opportunity for us to agitate about it as we would've liked. Liberals will probably be dismissive of the argument that Harris lost because of her position about Gaza, and they'll be right; it just doesn't really hold up.
the liberal smugness about ignorant voters that we're surely going to see in the next few weeks is... actually kind of correct.

Let me know if you think I'm wrong about any of this. I'd kind of like to be wrong, honestly.

Or they kept focusing on the fact that inflation was going down without acknowledging that that's not the same as prices going down.
