The Dems unwillingness to point to the obvious cause of inflation (Trump printing and signing millions of covid checks) and instead focusing on 'price gouging' and 'covid-era supply delays' rang hollow to everyone, leaving Trump open to blame whatever.

MAGA bought this cause how could Trump be socialist? Dems stayed silent bc they are envious of his political capital and woulda wanted to do the same anyway. 

So now the Dem candidate can't shake the 'socialist' label cast onto her by the most successful socialist president in our lifetime. Cause both sides agreed to memory hole it.
