A big Dem screwup was not speaking to inflation
If they made America understand that the root cause was the pandemic, partially the massive injection of money and more importantly the supply side shock, and that it was brought under control, that would have been positive messaging
It was a global issue, not something they should own
Rather they acknowledged that it was an ongoing concern, and played in to the Republicans pinning it on their administration
Further, the idea of across the board tariffs helping anything is absurd
The economy was a key concern and they blew it. Spectacularly
