I don't think I heard Kamala or Biden talk about the stock market much. Their message was that unemployment is down, and inflation adjusted wages are up.

That's functionally the same. It boils down to "you're not as bad as you think you are." The message should start with "we know you're bad."

Exactly. Crowing about how successful you've been when the people you're talking to are struggling more than ever just makes them feel like their concerns are being dismissed out of hand.

Trump's message was "Everything sucks and I will make it better." They're not interested in how. They just want the promised results.
