Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Wages are not stagnant, in fact they are growing faster than inflation.
Buddy, I dunno how to tell you or the DNC that data doesn't change the lived experiences and material realities of voters.
This is the exact issue with the DNC campaign.
Everyone I know is struggling more today then they were at the start of the Biden administration. A vast majority of them see Trump as a nonstarter, but that doesn't mean they're happy with Biden in the least.
Hey pal, the thing about data is it includes more information then only your lived experience. You may feel your experience is the reality for all voters, but no, that's your own experience. This is a big country buddy.
This is far from a unique opinion. There's people in this thread telling the same story and I've heard it dozens of times from people in all walks of life.
If the DNC is facing an issue where people feel worse off, waving a CNN article in their face and saying "no you're not" isn't effective messaging in any way.
The Democrats are wildly out of touch with working class Americans and the only reason their geriatric candidates have a chance is because the other party are a smattering of Fascists demagogues. Biden is a shit candidate and yet we're stuck with him.
I'm glad you've talked to so many people on this issue. Keep.up the good work 👍
