8. I'm not blaming Biden or the D's either. But your average swing/independent voter?

Edited to add I don't know any election where, when the economy is suffering as much as it is now, the voters didn't vote out the incumbents. ANother edit This election will hopefully be different, given how crazy far the Repukes have gone, e.g. "let 'em die" when a woman is having a medically problematic life-threatening pregnancy, but OTW.

And don't tell me about the job numbers - yeah, they are great but when wages don't keep up with the cost of living, is it really that great? It feels like getting paid in fools gold to me. Is it different in the world of hedges and modest expectation?

Our bus service keeps getting cut because of a shortage of drivers - just one example of the flip side of the jobs situation. And yes, I am worked up about it.
