I can answer in a single sentence, based on observing my coworkers talking about it.

"Everything is more expensive since Biden became President."

That's it. That's why everyone's gonna fuck this up.

Not only that, the US is doing pretty well, considering. Take this BBC article, for example. "Could the US economy be doing too well?" This is mostly the kind of messaging that the democrats need, yet don't have. Hardly anyone is really pushing this kind of message stateside, but the opposition message is sure getting pushed. It's time to stop completely losing the messaging battle.

It’s WAY past time to even catch up on the messaging battle, let alone stop losing it… early voting starts in 3 months in some places. If Trump wins, it won’t be because of voters, it’ll be because of poor messaging and communication choices by Biden and his advisors over the entire term… they should know better.
