💵 It’s Still the Economy, Stupid takes James Carville’s famous phrase and drags it back into the 2025 political arena—because Democrats keep forgetting the lesson.
In this episode, we cut through the noise and show why voters don’t make their decisions based on abstract ideals of “saving democracy” or fringe debates—they vote with their wallets. From groceries and housing costs to healthcare, wages, and childcare, the economy is the heartbeat issue that determines who wins and who loses.
We break down how Democrats have gotten distracted by chasing right-wing talking points, why public perception of who “handles the economy better” matters more than polling on social issues, and how a focus on affordability and working-class priorities could reshape our electoral future.
👉 The takeaway: stop wringing our hands about “what voters really care about.” They’ve been telling us for decades. It’s the economy. It’s always the economy.
