The thing any sort of discussion of econometrics and their relationship to politics never even considers are people’s expectations. Like maybe Brandon and the dems should consider the fact he was promising everyone significant change. Like maybe if you promise people you are going to change things and then don’t people might be mad about that regardless of the data. I was promised student loan relief, I don’t give a shit that inflation came down, I didn’t get my money you fucker.

He literally promised to give people a check, he mentioned the exact amount. And then he didn’t.
He also promised to cure cancer btw.
