Are you under the impression that they don’t?
The general consensus seems to be which ever party is in power has the most control over the economy.
I think that’s only a consensus among people who don’t understand the economy very well. The truth is politicians have very little control over the economy particularly in the short term. At most politics is able to nudge the economy very slightly like the rudder on a massive ship that takes years to turn.
Course there are some things you can do. Tariffs is an obvious one, completely bungling a global pandemic is probably another, etc…
It’s pretty difficult to control a lot of the economy still, especially where international concerns like the OPEC price setting cartel, yet oil prices are often blamed on leadership.
…but also, establishment politicians have a pretty fixed economic ideology that doesn’t change all that much, further constraining their reactions which are mostly classist.
Then there’s macroeconomic policies like interest rates, which globally Western governments seem to prefer to leave entirely up to central bankers.
Sure, I mean pretty much by definition. What does that have to do with your question?
The Republicans have been caught entirely funding the green party in multiple swing states.
They absolutely use their money to sabotage the democrats
Either sabotage Democrats or make them pursue more right wing policies, which is why there was so much Reagan praise at the DNC when every dem voter under 40 hates his guts.
It’s called gerrymandering.
Been going on my entire life so far
