"I'm sad all the time and I don't know why" isn't a polling category and also doesn't sound serious, but "the economy is bad" does.

"Americans are to a greater and lesser extent all psychologically traumatized from watching more than a million Americans die from COVID, and explain that general sense of malaise through economic sentiment" has always struck me as a parsimonious explanation.

But we didn't have economic stagnation for the working class. We had a period of unusually *high* wage growth for low income workers.

Threatening not to vote just shouldn’t be as much a thing as it is in progressive spaces instead of being the fucking constant monotonous feature that it is and more then anything else if you’re doing that over Newson you’re just telling me and everyone else that what’s happening now is nbd to you.
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS

What is this cursed timeline where left-leaning people are more open to voting Massie than Newsom? Is the Secular Talk subreddit compromised or something?

Every Olympics it's the same stories about how the free condoms run out and the punchline is always "athletes are so horny lol" instead of "we didn't buy enough condoms again"
Olympic villages ran out of free condoms. Organizers promise a Valentine's weekend restock.
Olympic organizers promise that the villages where athletes live won't run out of free condoms again during the Milan Cortina Winter Games.

The main reason people buy stuff is because they can.
Again, the contrast between professionals who actually deal with consumer spending, and Very Online Communists, is striking. The communists are like "people are ultra-rational utility maximizers" and the professionals are like "people will forget how much money they make and buy a boat"
I'm a financial advisor.
Humans are *very bad* at tracking, contextualizing, and understanding spending.
Like 80%+ of my clients who claim to live "paycheck to paycheck" have also immediately upgraded [car/house/electronics] significantly after minor pay increases.

A lot of media these days has what I call the "dragon problem". It's actually fairly unusual to just see art of a normal dragon, everybody's too convinced that they have to show their take on a dragon that it's much easier to find a dragon somebody was doing a "take" on than just, like, a dragon.
