    Biden did more to help the working class than any president in my lifetime. People are too stupid or don’t pay enough attention to realize it.

        the IRA includes long term tax benefits for basically everybody, most impact-fully, people in the lower income brackets. Both the CHIPS act and infra bill have provided for a lot of jobs. He didn’t kill oil, like trump seems to pretend happened. Im sure there are a number of other things i’m missing as well. Biden was an absolute legislation machine.

        Notably, the economy is doing very well right now. Granted the perception tends to lag, that’s natural.

        From a 2 second google search: Biden’s policies that have helped the working class include the American Rescue Plan, which provided direct financial aid and extended unemployment benefits, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which aims to create good-paying jobs. Additionally, efforts to strengthen unions and raise the minimum wage have also supported working-class Americans.

      Nope. He can do whatever and inflation erases all that and then some.

      Take your statistics home and use them to line your hamster cage.

        Ah yes, the inflation that started because of the pandemic, worldwide, all Bidens fault. Good job, you solved inflation!

          If that was the case, address it. Somehow Biden et.al., thought ignoring it was fine and the people would understand.

          That turned out to be not the case.

            He did address it. Inflation has returned to pre pandemic levels. If you bothered to look into it instead of repeating bullshit “facts”, you’d know that.

            The problem? Americans don’t “feel” like it is better. “But prices didn’t go down!” No shit that’s not how inflation works.

              So he didn’t make people feel inflation was behind them because prices aren’t down and your answer is “no shit? That’s not how inflation works?”

              Because stop me if I’m wrong, but when prices go up and salaries don’t, then that’s having a lasting impact. And if you haven’t done anything about that lasting impact, you haven’t done enough, or convinced enough.

              Anybody saying no shit too bad you’re too stupid to understand this deserves what they get.

                I know I"ll get downvoted for saying this, but you’re right.

                Stopping inflation without getting the prices to lower or the wages to raise is like…

                Say you get stabbed by a psycho-killer, I shoot the killer in the fucking head and haul away his corpse.

                Then I say “I have solved your stabbing issue” and call it a day.

                This doesn’t change anything about the fact that at no point did I take you to the hospital to address the fact that you are bleeding out, and now you’re crawling around on the floor praying you can get to a phone to call 911 in time for the Ambulance to save your life.

                Sure the killer’s gone, but I’ve done absolutely nothing about the fact that you’ve been stabbed and if you die I would then in fact be guilty of negligent homicide.

                Apparently none of the facts here can stop you from just oozing your feelings. So We don’t really see the point in trying.

                  I’m just hoping the same stupid smart people who don’t recognize mass communication don’t get it wrong again next election.

                  Conversing with y’all, I’m not feeling hopeful.

                  BTW, didn’t want Trump, voted for Kamala, but I still think we deserved to lose. Our campaign sucked.

                Wait, you’re mad you didn’t get a good raise for a few years, and that’s somehow Biden’s fault?

                Dude, greedy business owners keeping as much profit for themselves happens under every president.

                I think you are confused as to what POTUS does. POTUS doesn’t set or approve your payroll.

                Conservatives be all “market” this and “market” that. The markets biggest influences are on costs of goods and costs of labor, and when the market does what the markets gonna do, that’s the Democrats fault? Motherfucker, do you understand the society we live in?

                  I’m retired, I got a huge raise from Biden. Stop personalizing this, like I’m making an emotional plea. You got it wrong. Having the “facts” all lined up doesn’t win you the election, never will.

                  Fight for your faults and you get to keep them.

                  The job when running for president is to give people a vision of your leadership that excites them. If instead you spend your time and money against your opponent without making a case for yourself, you get lost elections.

                <.< You’re literally bitching that the thing that happened didn’t happen. I don’t have the answer you’re looking for, because it’s predicated on the thing that happened having not happened.

                The lifeguard can’t save your son from drowning, he already did. I don’t know how else to say this.

              Yes. As long as you recognize that the reality you just spoke of is that one guy in an ivory tower thought Biden did a good job.
