Current Events > Think the economy is going cost Biden re-election?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Unfortunately, possibly, as is true for many countries.

And results in voting for those who were either a major part of the problem, caused it or want to make it worse to help their rich mates.

That's beside the fact that there's also a high probability that the poster I was addressing still lives at home.

I bought a house 3 years ago actually.

Not sure why you think there's a high probability of a 17 year old account belonging to someone that lives with their folks.

That the price of living around the country is too high, not properly addressing it may cost Biden his re-election.

Its a real problem, there needs to be discussion & action that isnt taking place.

Trying to fix the situation will help Biden.

Historically, when the working class & lower is suffering, that helps the rise of fascism. Most obvious example: Hitler. He gained attention & power because post-WW1 Germans were suffering.

A McDouble costs $2.89 now. We are absolutely living through the fall of an empire.

What do you think the infrastructure bill and student relief were? More jobs being created by the bill and reduced/eliminated other expenses (student debt) helps people in all aspects of their life, housing included. Republican lawmakers cant let people actually be helped in any meaningful way though and saw to that. You think Biden is going to get affordable housing passed with them in the way? Yeah lets blame the guy trying to help people and not those standing in the way of progress.

I actually agree to the point that Biden should campaign on the economy - unfortunately the republicans have no solutions and can't even functionally govern - but have a huge advantage in media perpetuating "conventional wisdom" and the "both sides" narratives.

Republicans also have a distinct advantage of never having to hold to any facts or truthful accuracy. Their base is more likely to turn against a republican politician that tells them the truth.

someone who doesn't buy their own groceries shouldn't comment on economics

Can't argue with you on that lol

Were seeing the natural pre-tremmers of late stage capitalism. The whole thing is built on cards. Its inevitable. You can only fight the currents for so long.

"Biden isn't doing a good enough job with the economy. Better vote for the fascists who will just destroy regulations protecting us and give tax cuts to the rich." - idiots which is sadly a great amount of the America public. I mean I hate the corporate whore establishment Democrats too, but what other option is there?

At no point have I advocated for voting for Trump or anyone on the right.

Just pointing out economic issues affecting regular people that could hurt Bidens chances.

It shouldn't, but American voters are absolute imbeciles so

That wasn't directed at you. Just the idiots who think that way.

Biden is just the "not Trump" much like Trump was the "not Hillary".
We need to get over this.

Up

The republicans lies about the economy will hurt Biden because democrats are not doing enough to correct them.

well according to analysts the average American consumer barely flinched from inflation. Im not sure how much of that can be put on Bidens doorstep either, like in a convincing way.

No, I think trump is going to cost the republicans the election.

Just wait until my boy Jerome announces the next two rate hikes coming this year.

The fully recovered economy that is no longer get interest rates increased?

The economy where the prices of eggs, meat, and gas is not only decreasing its less than two years ago?

The one where it has the lowest unemployment ever (and not bexause everyone has covid and they made up the numbers)?

Nah, probably not.

No he isn't.

Inflation is corporate greed. Plain and simple, companies unwilling to take the hit in a slowing economy so they make record profits instead.

I dont get how anyone could think Biden isn't doing enough with the economy. Do people not realize the massive giant hole the orange idiot put this country in?
