A friend of mine who is so far left he's right protests to any claim that the Biden administration has handled the recovery from the pandemic-depression about as well as anyone could that "the market may be up, but ordinary people are hurting."
Well, sure, but how is that an argument against voting to save our democracy? Does he (or anyone) really believe that the Fascist Maga-low-maniacs would do better for the disenfranchised class? The complete lack of logic just baffles me.
But, seriously, for the first time in 50 years wages at the low end have outpaced inflation, most people are better off by any measure than they were during the Trump years, and we have a genuinely progressive candidate. Inflation is now at the target levels that will likely induce the Fed to cut interest rates in September. I have no patience with critiques of Harris and Walz from the left. Politics, by definition, is a question of pragmatism. We have a chance to snatch a center left victory from what looked a short time ago like certain defeat. And unthinkable catastrophe for America. What the hell do you expect? I take this as almost a Deus ex machina, we are reprieved. Or at least given a real chance. And for that, I am grateful, and not least to Joe Biden, for doing the right thing for the country.
