    It’s less a matter of understanding than it is a matter of basic economics.

    Try convincing a wage earner that it’s worth it to miss a day of work when the minimum wage hasn’t increased in 15 years and they’re coping with 30% to 50% increases in their cost of living under Joe Biden, who had control of Congress.

    At some point it just clicks that your situation isn’t improving no matter who is elected.
