Food inflation is outpacing wage growth

People don't give a shit what the CPI is

Their grocery runs cost more for less food, so there is a problem with wage growth or food prices that the Dems are not willing to acknowledge

Food prices are a component of CPI. Food inflation is also around 2%, which is like the ideal inflation rate: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/food-inflation-in-the-united-states/

Note that it was out of control a couple years ago, which is why prices went way up. I haven't looked at the statistics, but what I have heard is that wage growth, generally, has caught up to inflation, which includes food prices. This is still a feels over reals situation. People feel that their food is too expensive, and Republicans are way better at addressing the feels. One of my favorite signs around the neighborhood said "TRUMP LOW PRICES || KAMALA HIGH PRICES". Like, yeah, that definitely makes sense. Well explained.

If you were ever capable of self reflection you would delete your dumb propaganda posts

Sorry you have pride issues or whatever. As long as you refuse to educate yourself people will keep telling you this

Kind of needlessly aggressive. Why does having an opinion and stating literal facts make it propaganda? That's not really a word we want to cheapen with a fascist regime incoming.
