I think a draconian ruling will energize part of the D voting base and some independents.
However, if the D message in November is standing up to a radical right agenda vs. the economy, it's going to be a rout. When we run on morality, we lose and rightfully so.
Maybe I am naive, but it should not be hard to sell the following:
Most of the current Inflation is directly and indirectly due to Covid. In response to the lock downs and closures, the previous administration passed the CARES ACT. This current administration passed the American Recovery Act. These acts helped prevent economic chaos.
One unfortunate side effect was an increase in core inflation from 2% to 5%. However, the alternative, deflation, would have been far worse and more difficult to overcome.
Of course, the consumer price index, or CPI is running about 8.5%. The CPI differs from core inflation because it includes commodities that fluctuate in price with the market.
Much of the higher number is still due to the pandemic related international supply chain bottlenecks. These are still being worked out and were further aggravated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Some cynical people are actually blaming the American Recovery Act for inflation. If only people were poor enough; there would be less demand, supply problems wouldn't matter, and prices should be lower. Shame on them.
