From npub1me7u08p3kt0aq8e0fj79v9qrsav9hhmkgahhuzcrrznw28yqulyskkmkvf (npub1me7…mkvf): "Simple measures of economic self-interest aren’t a very good predictor of voting behaviour…And if people voted with their wallets, why would many working-class Americans back a candidate committed to cutting taxes for the rich? The political effects of economic misery are more indirect than 'It’s the economy, stupid' implies."
