5. I hate that they don't differentiate between Biden and Trump's messaging

For Biden(Harris) and Hillary Clinton, there was an acknowledgement that many people were still not in a good economic place. Trump does not concede that.

The Democrats' awareness made it harder to take and receive credit for having had a lot of success managing the economy. Biden, in particular, actually was the first President in decades who in a very small way reduced the trend of greater income inequality.

Trump has actually made things worse. It will be interesting seeing polling going forward where inflation questions are asked both on perception of the economy as a whole and the person's personal situation.
