About your last paragraph, who said this was a partisan issue? Someone who agrees with your last paragraph could also agree with the sentiment that those who tell us the “economy is booming” are often ignoring issues that affect everyday Americans.
It’s a partisan issue specifically because of who is spreading which messages.
Democrats are saying that the economy is generally moving in the correct directions, e.g., we lost a couple million people in the pandemic which lead to a labor shortage, opportunistic businesses jacked up prices leading to double digit inflation, but overall the unemployment caused by the pandemic is reduced, inflation is on the way down, and we’re doing better than we would have been doing otherwise.
Republicans are saying that the economy is trash, that everyone is hurting, everything is expensive and no one can afford shit. …While conveniently ignoring that they’re the ones that have been pushing all the policies that have led to this, while Dems have been doing everything they could to prevent a recession or depression.
If you blindly accept that the economy is bad without looking at why, then you’re biting the baited hook of the Republican propaganda machine.
Democrat here. People pushing the positive economy messaging are just trying to get away with robbery. Don’t accept being a patsy because you’re scared of politics. I’ll still vote blue and still tell people when they’re full of shit.

Democrat here. I’ll gladly say that the economy is trash and everyone (I know) is hurting.
