The sad fact is that if you have to explain something to voters, you've lost.

Voters don't want explanations, they want solutions.

You be correct and say something factually as "The economy is fine, all indicators are moving the right direction - we're back to pre-COVID levels" but still lose massively on that.

And as it turns out, whether or not your solutions is rooted in reality - apparently doesn't mater for the average voter.

Harris went with the "We're not gonna make any changes", when people are moaning about the economy. That was her fatal error.

Trump and MAGA continued to hammer on about how terrible the economy is, and how they're going to make China pay, while lowering taxes.

Again: voters don't want explanations, they want solutions.
