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.
As I said….
That accelerated with Regan and has been the status quo for every president since. Biden proposed a wealth tax and it got stone walled by a Republican congress. You could argue it's all for show but laying it at his feet is a little "mask off" with your intent.
Still likely a troll account just don't want you convincing the less critically inclined of insanity.
Edit: replied to the wrong person, this was meant to be a reply to the parent comment saying that "bidenomics" was the problem oops.
You mean every Republican president. Democrats have not chased trickle down economics.
Sorry I should have been specific. I wasn't speaking about trickle down economics, I was speaking about the economic policies in general that tax the poor while leaving the rich mostly unaffected and while purposely building in loopholes.
This may not have been strengthened as much during times when Dems were in power but in the past it certainly hasn't been weakened, My argument is that Joe Biden has actually made moves to try.
Soviet flag PFP.. That’s all you need to know
Theres no arguing with these people - that would be expecting the most basic level of critical thinking
Supporting genocide Joe and Im the one lacking critical thinking?
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.
Both sides suck and always have sucked.
Because being shot in the face is exactly the same as stubbing a toe. They both hurt- and because they both hurt- they HAVE to hurt the exact same!
Ah yes, because both are TOTALLY not owned by corporate interests, and both will shoot you in the head when they have the opportunity. Neither party cares about you and only wingcucks think that either party will deliver upon the promises they want and not enrich their corporate donors.
ROFL… okay. You’re one of those people.
We can be done here. I don’t exercise in futile discussions with people whose primary focus is overly opinionated rhetoric.
I have heard a thousand variations of this same comment. This is not a very insightful thing for you to say. Unless you can add some specifics, I’m tempted to interpret this as you just regurgitating what you see on the internet.
It’s so weird you reference yourself here, when this is obviously not your own thought.
Liberals thinking they were voting for 'lesser evil' got us here. This is 100% on the shoulders of shitlibs that cant tell the difference between red fascism and blue fascism.
And what solution are you offering here? Not vote? Vote 3rd party? Vote for Trump?
I've already voted for progressives in my local elections.
Their only "solution" is whining and ignorance.
Voters have zero impact on policy or legislation. Keeping the status quo is killing us
You still didn't answer my question. What solution do you have? "Biden sux" is true, but just yelling it over and over is not gonna further any leftist ideology...
They have no solution. Thats been the point of this the entire time. They shit on the discussion and walk away feeling smugly satisfied that their pseudo woke rhetoric made a difference to a bunch of people too busy scratching their heads and wondering what that dumbass was talking about.
This is what I trying to figure out and I'm pretty sure he's a right wing troll
Not supporting him or a capitalist owned party is my solution. That's the oppressed supporting their oppressors
Cool, give me something more concrete. What should I support then?
There will be no answer that makes any sense at all. You know that, right?
Yeah, but I like making that PAINFULLY obvious to both them and anyone else reading it. Just saying "Biden is a shitlib", while true, doesn't help anything and IMO hurts the chances of anyone left of herr Trump getting elected.
God damn your takes are stupid. "zero impact". To prove a universal quantification false only a single counterexample is required. That's it. Nothing more is required and then poof you are an idiot. You sure you want to make that bet? You absolutely sure that voters have zero impact on policy or legislation? Cause, like, votes determine the passage of policy where I live.
Counterexample:: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Colorado
Oh look. Votes determined the legality of cannabis. Was illegal before then votes then not. That's a policy change BTW in case you are even more confused than the average stoner.
Done! I've proved you wrong! Congrats! No further effort by anybody is required to prove you are stupid. Just one example was required. Nothing more.
You are a fragile and angry person
Oops! Did you just lose an argument? Sure looks like you did, and have nothing but ad hominems and insults left to sling. Congratulations!
I didnt lose anything, I hope you sleep well at night supporting a Zionist enabler of genocide
Are you just a bad AI tasked with writing nonsense?
My god you’re fucking hilarious!
