You people are the Marquis du Condorcet undone by too many eggs every time. “Poors can’t live on 100k, I’m a working-class knower.” Yes they can:
1. Most school districts do tuition reimbursement for continuing education.

Twice as many Americans strongly disapprove of this as strongly approve. 2-1 advantage. Even 40% of Moderate Republicans disapprove (half of those strongly).

The administration and some senators believed at the time that the statute could be applicable, they just didn't have blocking this sale as a priority. Stancil is not covering new ground or going out on a limb here.

Um, many people - including the Biden Administration and some senators, did read the statute and believe it applied at the time, they just didn't bother to do anything?

With all the NYT hayseed porn since 2016, it's easy to forget that over the last 20 years Iowans have LOVED violent political swings. Maybe they want to ride that dragon yet again!

Just as Biden’s approval rating does not match inflation levels this seems like more using numbers to retrofit everyone’s bullshit than a chart with actual explanatory power for the 24 election.

Why was Spain immune from the discourse? Did UK Cons lose because of inflation? (No). If this is a mechanistic effect why are Canada and Australia immune? Their inflation levels didn’t disappear w/ Trump.

This shows incumbent parties doing fine from 21-23 during actual inflation (half improved) and ignores the 2nd-biggest election to make the #s fit. Mexico is a middle-income nation. Morena IMPROVED vote share at all levels. It also shows share not whether governing parties were re-elected (France).

On election day, majorities of voters thought Trump was extreme and Harris was not extreme. She seems to have dealt with past statements pretty well.

NYT: We found a technicality - anti-Trump Australian landslide DOES NOT COUNT he's still the Birthday Boy. The Conservatives did not lose in the first round (they still got fewer votes in the first round pmn the way to losing parliamentary seats 2-1).

Don’t take it from Stancil, take it from Shakespeare (and Faulkner). There’s a reason this is one of the most famous quotes in the English language.
