I think many Dems didn't watch it. I didn't. I'm just watching the recap. That said, if the polls are true, our country is full of gullible idiots who don't know they're being lied to.
They literally have a poll in it saying it's mostly Republicans / independents watching
I wanted to add more quotes, but this here is the whole comment section :marseyshrug:

normally I would laugh at you but it's important to point out how laughably wrong you r-slurs are.
If you have 1 stock in tesla you're set guys, you're a serious shareholder now. Its not about having vs not having, its about how many and young people have few. They can see a 20% rise in the market, but if you only have $8k in the market well, thats not very impactful like it is if you have 100k.
Hey pal, no, the majority has a large portion of their wealth in the market:
https://www.empower.com/the-currency/life/average-401k-balance-age#:~:text=Empower%20data%20shows%20that%20the,and%2076%25%20of%20Gen%20Xers.

Yeah, young people really really benefit from starter homes in their hometown rising to $800k. Why the heck would they think they benefit from those prices going down, dont they know the boomers will be upset!
Except the cost of housing also won't go down as interest rates wont go down due to the shitty economic conditions, this isn't even getting into the massive increase in material costs making new houses also more expensive.

>look at how many people have money in the market you r-slur
>links to average amount per account
>no mention of number of accounts per age bracket
:#marseyretard3:
Meanwile, in reality:
Among working-age individuals (ages 15 to 64), the most common type of retirement accounts in 2020 were 401(k)-style accounts (34.6%). About 18% of working-age individuals had an IRA or Keogh account, and 13.5% had a defined-benefit or cash balance plan.
1 in 3 from pretty much all age brackets for workers.
About half (49.5%) of Millennials ages 24 to 39 owned at least one type of retirement account but only 7.7% of Generation or Gen Z members ages 15 to 23 owned a retirement account.
So zoomers own frick all. Still, what about millenials?
According to previous work showing SIPP estimates for 2013, only 17.7% of Millennials owned retirement accounts when they were ages 15 to 31. Current SIPP estimates show how Millennials' retirement account ownership grew as they aged and gained labor market experience.
Seems only richstrags invested lump sums in their 20s, with zoomers not even having ANY retirement account and only about 1/6 millenials having a retirement account before hitting 31. Your averages mean shit, young people overwhelmingly have no accounts or little in them. Its why a group of 9 doctors and 1 janny have an overwhelmingly high average salary. Looks good, but it doesnt reflect the jannys reality.

links to average amount per account
And median.
no mention of number of accounts per age bracket
This is there too, are you r-slurred?
The 401(k) is one of the top retirement saving options for many people. Empower data shows that the majority of Americans contribute to a retirement plan (70%), though contributions vary by generation: Only 47% of Gen Zers say they save in a retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403 (b), compared to 75% of Millennials and 76% of Gen Xers.

1 in 3 from pretty much all age brackets for workers.
you're being incredibly misleading, from your own source:
https://i.rdrama.net/images/1741292004VhmOpC7GliudEg.webp
why would you include the age brackets of fricking 15 years old lmao?
when you break it down for people actually out of school and working the number sky rockets. this means the majority of adults in america, the vast majority, have money in the market, includiong most people over the ages of 20.
like the idea the stock market, literally the best way for anyone to build wealth somehow doesn't exist for the majority of the country is absolutely fricking r-slurred. if you don't have a 401k it's because you're a fricking mongoloid and should be gassed for being too dumb to function within society.
