I don't know that any amount of effort will change the voters minds about punishing the Democrats for ruining their lives (sarcasm). What's more I am willing to disagree with those that claim Americans are dumber than the Germans, French , Polish, Finns... That's right, I've got the scoop.

'There’s no winning with voters on inflation and rising living costs. Incumbent governments—prepare to get whacked.'
'As recent Global Progress/YouGov data from 11 leading democratic countries shows, inflation is a political wrecking ball for incumbent governments. Although citizens don’t have a consistent idea of what should be done about inflation—and many opposition parties have no clear alternative policy ideas on the matter—most voters don’t like the situation and are apt to punish sitting parties for rising costs regardless of their actions.'
Which countries' citizens are as dumb as Americans -- UK, France, German, US, Italy, Spain, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Poland, Finland. (We were included in the data)
‘…more than half to nearly 70 percent of citizens in each of the 11 countries surveyed say they lack confidence in their own government’s ability to control inflation.’
'These numbers should give incumbent parties everywhere night sweats, especially if they have elections soon. It doesn’t particularly matter if the governments are run by technocrats or leftists or right-wingers—they will suffer. Ruling governments in Sweden and Italy have already fallen....
President Biden and Democrats are on track to lose the House of Representatives and maybe the Senate despite passing a huge bill called the “Inflation Reduction Act” that most Americans support but don’t believe will reduce inflation in the short-term. '
'The problem for sitting governments regardless of their ideological make-up is that voters don’t really like any traditional ideas for combating inflation, such as increasing interest rates or cutting spending, and don’t have patience for excuse-making by leaders.'
'Voters in multiple national political contexts basically just want prices down now, along with subsidies or offsets for energy and other household costs in the meantime. Understandably, they don’t want any personal pain or larger economic sacrifices to deal with inflation.'
'Since it’s nearly impossible for any government to deliver this in a timely fashion, the result will likely be the same across many democratic countries: Vote ‘em out!'(The Liberal Patriot) See link to article below.
Yeah. Churchill's comment didn't come from talking to Americans. "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."
I come with the goods and this is what I get! Damn! I did not intend to give you a like, and I can't get rid of it. Just pretend it's not there because its not what you deserve! Wow, the like went away. Thank you substack. I like you.
I can't "like" your post, I wish substack had other icons , like a sad face to express agreement but not joyfully... My confidence in holding the House and Senate has fallen even further after reading your post. 😔
I understand, Nancy. I didn't like that report either, but I believe it. It is a solid source. I was not optimistic before I started researching beyond Politico, the Times, WAPO, Atlantic...which were also not singing 'everything is coming up roses'. TC didn't like the piece either, instead, he seemed to ratify it with a Churchillian nod of agreement. I believe we keep trying, but the odds for the midterms are awful now. Might that change? Some Democrats have to break through with a different message and different strategies before and after the midterms We are not dead if we lose the midterms, but we need to be convincing about what the Democrats will deliver. We need leadership, strategies and organization to turn this around. Neither of us go for the BS, but that means fighting harder--finding and promoting the leaders who will move us forward.
I guess you could call the Churchill ratifying, but I just put it up because I was so pissed off at all these @#$$%#@@!!! MORONS who think they are my "fellow Americans."

'Vote em-out!' That's the story.

Some information we definitely don't "like" but we do "need."
So, where's the NEED button? Forget about it. I like being alone tonight.
No - the information is needed by all of us, whether we like it or not. :-)
I 'needed' this 'like' from you like a loch in kop.
You understood it TC? It is also a review!
😔
sometimes, you need to hit the "Refresh."
I can't "like" your post, I wish substack had other icons , like a sad face to express agreement but not joyfully... My confidence in holding the House and Senate has fallen even further after reading your post. 😔
All the more reason to do postcards or texts - these last two weeks are when they'll be most effective, with a "jump shot" election.

obviously, I'm right there with you, Tom.
