Disagree insofar as they have been talking plenty about the economy, but it's hard to dominate the conversation when the other side leans heavily on fallacies, hyperbole, or outright untruths. As well,most voters are not rational calculators and tend to contrast the present with a somewhat fictionalized version of the past shaded brighter or darker by their feelings about the previous administration.
Also there are so many pro and semi pro 'influencers' online now. Debate has become an occupation rather than a search for truth. You might persuade some onlookers by conversing or arguing with someone, but it's not uncommon to see arguments about factual matters settled conclusively only for the incorrect party to go right back to spreading false claims within days or hours.
