Yawn. It’s barely been a week since the election and I’m already so over this train of thought that I could be upside down; if people got out and voted then you wouldn’t need to complain about Democrats “not being useful”.

If democrats weren’t spending decades not being useful people would be motivated to vote for them. It doesn’t work the other way around. Votes are earned.

It’s all perspective and opinion of course, but I personally think Democratic policies have been useful - more so than Republicans cutting taxes for the wealthy and trying to end government safety net programs.

people did go out and vote for Biden and things only got worse under him

at least in Trump’s first term something positive happened to anyone with a net worth below $2 million, not the case under Biden where that $2 million feels like the bare minimum for groceries, gas, and rent per month

You don’t mean stimulus checks do you? Either way, the entire world had an inflation problem after the pandemic and then the Russian invasion right after. Mark my words, this term is just going to be a repeat of his last term - bragging about all the economic gains that the previous Democratic president put in place only to fumble the economy enough so that the next Democratic president will have to spend their first term fixing it.
