    We aren’t doing fine, but we are doing as well as can realistically be expected.

    Democrats didn’t seem to think so during the last election cycle.

    Cost of living is up everywhere.

    Gee. If only someone had the opportunity to raise the minimum wage during the past 4 years.

    The global economy is still recovering from Covid and nobody can fix that with a snap of their fingers. It will just take time.

    We shoveled a fuckton of money at people who were already rich. The global economy is working just fine for everyone the two major parties actually give a shit about.

      By everywhere I mean other countries.

      Get out of here with that “both parties are the same” shit. It only helps Trump.

        HE’S NEVER RUNNING AGAIN. You just don’t want criticism of how Democrats represent the same interests as Republicans.

          I wish I had the faith in Trump following the Constitution that you do. Democrats and Republicans are not the same. If you disagree, try talking to a woman who needs an abortion, a black man in jail for weed possession, or any LGBT person.

            In order: Democrats thought the filibuster was more important than codifying Roe, Biden ran out the clock on purpose on rescheduling cannabis, and centrists in this last election cycle used right wing “boys in girls’ sports” hatred in their own ads.

            Both sides aren’t the same, but they’re converging, and I refuse to make or accept excuses for it.
