No, I've been told a couple dozen times that I'm acting like a one issue voter. They don't think genocide is particularly important and certainly less important than the economy.

Are any candidates proposing to do anything useful in regards to the economy? I missed the debate.

No, in fact they barely talked about the economy. Biden got a mild hardball question right at the beginning which was something like "The economy is the most important issue among voters. Even though inflation has ended people feel that prices of groceries and other necessities like housing are very high, what do you say about that?" And his answer was basically "I inherited a bad economy from Trump" and Trump said something about floods of immigrants and that was it

I blame my mistakes at work on Trump, too.
