For many working families, the rising cost of living—groceries, gas, housing, and more—is pushing us to the edge. This is the toughest economy I’ve felt in my lifetime, and despite talk of a “strong economy,” it doesn’t feel that way for those of us living paycheck to paycheck @Mehdi. People are struggling every day. Maybe some are surprised by recent election outcomes, but if more Democratic leaders and some media outlets truly understood the challenges facing middle-class and average American families, they might have seen this coming. Real change will come only when we have real plans for economic relief that address our reality. In recent races, it’s awful how close these elections have been—even at the presidential, Senate, and congressional levels. It shows a disconnect between politicians and working-class families. Look at their lifestyles compared to ours! Sadly, our party seems to have lost touch with us in recent years. If we don’t make major changes in policies and actions, this shift in our politics will only continue.
The fundamental issue with capitalism is that a booming economy doesn’t trickle down and improve the standard of living for all. It solely benefits those at the top. The 1% who need to keep everyone living from payday to payday. All the while selling people shit they don’t need and distracting them with “entertainment”. People are too busy trying to survive to focus on the real problems.
