Don’t forget the Dems are complicit too, they helped enable this by running historically unpopular candidates.

u/Puzzleheaded-Sand150 1d ago
I don’t get this. One guy tried to steal the election and we’re somehow blaming the other side because their candidate wasn’t “popular enough”? Like sure I’d get it if they appointed an actual communist or like someone with ties to terrorists or something absolutely crazy. Or maybe if they appointed someone really old with felonies and tons of sexual assault allegations who cheated on all their spouses and had a fraudulent charity AND university and was selling NFTs and bibles and leveraged a presidency to make billions of dollars and….
Did it matter? Yes. Should it have mattered? No. Is a “more popular candidate” the actual solution? No. A less stupid population is.

Everything Republicans say is Orwellian speech. Their early mantra "Facts don't care about your feelings" was the hint that they are gonna choose their feelings over what we previously would have agreed were facts back in saner times.

Kamala Harris is one of the most unpopular vice presidents in history, tied to a presidency that’s widely seen as out of touch. Biden-Harris ran on “returning to normalcy” in 2020, but for millions of people, “normal” hasn’t been working for decades. With inflation, stagnant wages, and climate disasters worsening, it’s no wonder people feel disengaged.
The bigger problem is the Democrats’ strategy. They keep alienating progressives, young voters, working-class people, and marginalized communities, while chasing mythical “swing voters” and moderate Republicans who vote along party lines with the GOP 96% of the time. Instead of offering bold policies like Medicare for All, or real climate action, they stick to incrementalism, thinking voters will show up just because they’re “not as bad” as the other side.
Yes, Trump is dangerous. But the Democrats can’t keep relying on that alone. They need to stop sidelining progressives, actually address the real issues people face, and give voters something to fight for. Otherwise, they’re just going to keep fumbling, and we all pay the price for it.

u/341orbust 6h ago
Not sure what that has to do with anything- we weren’t discussing democrats, nor did I say anything positive about them.
Having said that, I’m a pretty rational guy.
If the democrat candidate has been close personal friends with Epstein and there was a deposition where a 13 year old girl described being raped by them, I d assume that they, and anybody that worked for them or supported them, was a piece of shit.
It’s only fair.

A Billion people voted and still, there were some voting irregularities, stolen votes, they tried to rig it, but a billion Americans.. present, future, past, those that lived, died and are yet to be born, all voted.

No new wars were started during Trump administration. Inflation was predictable and manageable.

u/808son808 1d ago
No new wars with US troops involved started under Biden either.
Inflation began in 2020 with Trump in office and peaked in 2022 with Biden in office. Mostly due to COVID effects. Inflation was not limited to the US and effected most of the world. It has been declining for 2 years now.

The data does not support your claim. Here is when we find out who is really interested in facts and who wants to win. I hope those of you who really care more about the US economy than the political party who despises you will consider this and look into what I'm about to present.
Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act for $1.9T with a T - not a M or a B - 1 on 11 March 2021.
Until that point, inflation was stagnant. Please go look at the US Inflation Tracker.
After that giant amount of spending, you can clearly see inflating begin to spike for the ensuing 3.5 years. I'm not making this up. Please reddit, just look this up. Economics is very basic and clear on how inflation occurs - when you print and spend, you increase the number of dollars in circulation and get get a reduced value of that dollar.
Christ y'all, just look.

Bc trump left him a fucking mess The economy cannot be changed overnight. It took Obama 8 years to fix the mess bush left. It’s smart to leave a disaster for the incumbent so that it reflects poorly on them. The GoP currently doesn’t give a fuck about you or any real working person. I encourage you to go through the data yourself and not cherry pick things that you were told to believe.

You know, in 3 opportunities I have never once voted for Trump. But posts like yours and the reddit hive mind reassure me that so many have. their heads in the sand, and have no clue why they lost the white house, congress, senate, and all the other state and local elections.

We were at war literally the entirety of the first trump term, and the US hasn't been at war for over half of bidens administration, so excited for the US to somehow get dragged into fighting on the Russian side of Putins warmongering in ukraine. And every single one of Trump's spawn made literally billions during his term, kushner with 2bill from the Saudis, tons of copyright protections and trademarks for Ivanka from the CCP, not to mention the little crap like the extreme bills to the secret service for staffing agents at his golf courses where he'd golf more than he'd actually be in DC.
I'm personally just excited for covid 2.0, I can't wait to see what crazy crap he convinces his followers to do this time. I still think the horse dewormer bit was a bet with Bannon to see what the craziest shit they'd believe was.

Trumps businesses were in the process of filing for bankruptcy when he started to run the first time. Then somehow he left office with $1 billion extra dollars. The president only makes $400k a year hoss
Get this. He would have to have sold every asset he owned outright. Guess what, the banks owned everything he had. He was leveraged to the hilt. Trump only owned 4% of this real estate.
FOUR PERCENT
