Bidenomics has been a disaster. Things are not as rosy as they claim.

When one of you are willing to offer up an alternative solution that even remotely resembles an inclination that you’re paying attention to the problem at hand- we’ll start taking you seriously.

Until then, you’ll remain the joke that you are to everyone with a functioning brain.

You mean like tax cuts for the rich to fix every problem? Because that's all they have.

This type of comment that says their side is right… are just hilarious to me. Corporations bought your government through bill riders packed in 1,000 page bills.

Neither side wants to fix this mess, because their millions in campaign funding relies on keeping corporations and fat cats happy.

If you are in the bottom 95%, you aren’t being served by your government anymore.

This Conservative vs Liberal fighting is exactly what they want. Serves as a nice distraction.

bOtH siDeZ tHo, riTe?

This type of comment that says both sides are equally bad are just hilarious to me. People riding the fence is what got us here.

Shit of get off the pot. We’re not in a pace where we can afford to NOT choose sides anymore.

No, things aren't rosy. What happened under trump was a corporate apologist shitshow though.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Things are honestly pretty fuckin rosy in the greater context of what could have happened

So, exactly what we have right now?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Lol. Imagine watching Trump during covid and then thinking "exactly what we have right now". What a trash take.

Oh. I guess your username is accurate! Well!

Much less of one than what happened under Trump. When disaster struck, Trump's first thought was to bail out big companies over actually helping the people. Infact frequently he put the people dead last. At least Biden has done and tried to do a few things for the common person.

Just wait until you learn who cranked the interest rates down to nothing and handed a bunch of free money to the rich at a time when supply chains were almost completely shut down during the pandemic...

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like that doesn't get discussed enough. The supplements provided under trump hindered way more than they helped. Might I remind you that those were promised and then delayed because Trump wanted his fucking name printed on the checks. Outside of that, the paycheck protection program was a disaster! So many companies took advantage of that while shitting all over the employees that that was supposed to help. All the while, mom and pop shops and other local places got shafted because the mega corporations tapped the fund. Then it all got forgiven?? You've got what is essentially neutered unemployment benefits performed solely to act as a clout grab, and you've got hyper inflation into the absolute wrong end of the scale of where it should go. More people focus on the former instead of the latter like the latter never happened.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Everyone knows it was all bullshit but try to remember nearly every day of all four years of Trump's presidency, and months prior campaigning, were filled to the brim with bullshit. Many people, myself included, just gave up on politics for a while after he lost to Biden just to try and stay mildly sane.

Marketing from the Biden team that Democrats use to support their cause and Republicans ironically use to support their cause.
