but "the economy is good" and "I have lots of money" are not the same things.

it is perfectly possible for a country to have the best economy ever while still having a massive amount of people who can't afford food.

Sure, but the problem is that it seemed democrats used "the economy is good" to imply "people have money" and avoid addressing the struggle. Maybe because they were afraid of tainting the results of the presidency. Even here there was reluctance to admit most people were not doing good and only tech workers were complaining.
