Bidenomics!
This is why it's a bad idea to stick your name onto whatever is the current state of the economy.
There's also the repulsive way they keep trying to gaslight us into thinking the economy is good.
Well, at the moment, the other option is Trump. We all know we need better politicians in general, but are you suggesting things would be better with him?
The other option is whoever we want. Wild how voting works.
Problem is absent major reforms in every state, that's not how voting works. Third parties playing spoilers in the first-past-the-post system has been documented and evidenced many times. Whichever bloc has greater unity or no appealing 3rd party candidates will win. So you could end up with Trump being elected with 35% for Biden, 25% for West, and 40% for Trump. Run-off or ranked choice could fix that but we don't have that.
Ive got unity with the progressive candidate. Who also endorses that ranked choice we both want. Biden and Trump represent a conservative bloc.
That would be great but voting for them this round isn't a practical choice. We have to somehow get voting reforms then support the candidates we actually prefer. That would start at a local/state level.
Right, this round. Next round for sure.
Before there is comprehensive voting reform it won't work at all. It's more likely to get whatever candidate you least support elected.
You cracked the case!
It wasn't anything like coordinated rent increases from large groups of landlords using a pricing app, it wasn't a worldwide pandemic disrupting the market, it wasn't America keeping housing as an investment vehicle instead of a means of sheltering humans, it wasn't decades of wealthy investors buying housing to convert into rentals.
Nope, all of that complexity can be tossed out the window because one single man is to blame: Joe Biden. All in his first term as president too!
Weird how people who are 'I'm so COMMUMIST!!' reserve their criticism for US politicians closer to the left and don't bother saying shit about Trump or the Republicans in congress.
You say that like Trump’s biggest legislative accomplishment wasn’t a massive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.
That's not true, he also accelerated the decline of America and turned many of America's allies against us.
Also he had that handsome hamburger party that one time. That was pretty funny, probably his favorite day of being president.
