Look at North Carolina where they overwhelmingly elected a Jewish governor, and voted for Trump. It doesn't really go much deeper than the one and only thing that Kamala Harris and Mark Robinson have in common. I place a ton of blame on the media; starting with the constant drumbeat of "Biden is old", crapping on the economy when every piece of evidence shows that we are doing better after Covid than any other country. We have entire networks devoted to financial news and nobody could figure out that we did not have monetary inflation but rather supply shock? Why did these "experts" spend the last three years pretending that 2020 never happened?? Yes, gas was $1.87 in 2020 because NOBODY WAS DRIVING ANYWHERE, eggs prices went up due to two separate bird flu outbreaks. Covid blew a 20 TRILLION dollar hole in the US economy which was filled with only 9 trillion in stimulus so there were no money printers working overtime flooding us with cash. Inflation came down from 9% to nearly 2% without a recession and without widespread unemployment and Biden/Harris got zero credit for the soft-landing which is now very much in danger.
I also believe that there are many Dems out there who were angry about the way Biden was pushed aside and may have stayed home because of it; I think the process was shameful. The debate performance was visually bad but, if you remember, there was a focus group of Latino voters that only heard the translation and overwhelmingly said that he had won the debate.
Inflation is such a tricky beast - there were so many influxes to the money supply during the COVID and post-COVID era. PPP, the three COVID relief bills, and then the ARP and the infrastructure bill. Both Trump and Biden introduced a many trillion dollar increase in the money supply, which had to be tamped down with high interest rates. I think it sucks that democrats took the hit for that, but that's how the cookie crumbles, I guess.
Biden's Fed did not overprint money; if they had, there wouldn't be a shortage of dollars in relation to world demand for them. Again, 2020 happened and people pretending it didn't helped lead to where we are now.
I mean a $1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill is going to add to the money supply. I'm not opposed to it, we desperately needed that infrastructure but surely it's responsible for a non-zero amount of inflation?
If I am understanding your points correctly, I think your comment regarding the money supply is incorrect. Putting aside any judgement on whether it was the right thing to do or not, the government (both parties) added roughly $6 trillion to the money supply during and post covid. Just look up the M2 money supply and you can see the trends over time. COVID did not somehow reduce the money supply as you suggest.
Can you explain why it’s relevant to point out the NC winner is Jewish? I’m not understanding what the connection is and would rather have you explain it than make an assumption. Sometimes things get lost in translation online.
The original poster missed a shocking and essential feature of Mark Robinson's failed campaign, the allegations were pretty raunchy unless you love knowing about your politician's porn preferences.
Also the original poster's language about the Jewish governor who won gives me a total case of the ick. Its a big leap to exclude the vast amount of non-white Jews. who are Sephardic, African, Asian, Indian, and so on. There are literally millions of non-white Jews. Ick.
Rocky, I appreciate you calling out the not-so-latent antisemitism in OPs comment. I would like to point out that, to many Jews, distinguishing between "white Jews" and "Jews of color" is problematic at best and offensive at worst. I'm not sure how I "present" to others, but the Nazis didn't beat, starve and torture my grandparents and murder their families because of their "whiteness."
In connection with the larger theme of the thread, I've heard plenty of theorizing in the media about how Kamala's supposed lack of support for Gaza cost her votes. It's interesting, though, that I've seen far fewer wondering if the overt antisemitism both propagated and tolerated by many on the extreme left might have cost the dems votes? I mean, maybe ask Richie Torres or George Latimer.
Sorry I misunderstood your point. You provide economic statistics for Europe and North America, plus Japan. I had thought you meant the world in general, including mainland Asia, Africa, Latin America. And I thought you meant health and life expectancy.

"every piece of evidence shows that we are doing better after Covid than any other country. "
Please provide some evidence.

We were also entering a recession at the beginning of 2020 with the loss of thousands of manufacturing jobs; that was masked by Covid.
