During the 2024 presidential race, Donald Trump repeatedly claimed that the U.S. economy was terrible under then-President Joe Biden and then-Vice President Kamala Harris. But according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) figures, unemployment stayed under 4.0 percent from February 2022 through...
Yeah, and what’s truly exasperating is how many bothsiderists/centrists, the “liberal media” and many leftists help the Republicans in affixing this blame on the Democrats…
She really should have. Trump had no shame lying about everything. You can’t counter that. After the election is over, you can point out the lies but by then it’s too late.
There is no downside to lying because the mainstream press is fully right wing.
Well, except the media will put a laser focus on any mistakes Democrats make, nevermind any brazen lying. They will fact check a Biden stutter, for example, or do endless exposes on Hillary’s emails.
When a Republican does, well, just whatever they want, really, including incredible amounts of brazen lying, it’s just expected.
The Democrats are expected to be as pure as the driven snow, otherwise it’s a steady drumbeat of criticism for them from the “liberal media” (and the batshit insanely RW media, too).
Not just that but they wanted to diehard hold on to the Israeli genocide machine no matter the cost, including the election … even though everyone screamed at them to let go in exchange for a vote.
I have no idea why everyone in power in America no matter the party has such a hardon for Israel and perpetual war in the Middle East.
It seemed to me that on the one hand, internationally, idiots like Bibi and Putin were emboldened by Trump and then both of them just hid behind the status quo - that the Dems won’t touch - long enough that the shit they started tanked Biden’s presidency.
Also, the whole political class in the US is just too old to try to adapt to stuff. Another news article is calling out the Dems for “failing to keep up” with 83 year old Trump.
That’s the beauty of all those Executive Orders, they hurt rather quickly. But yes, I agree that those modern goppers ride on the wave of the previous Democrat’s economic policies, while the next Democratic president has to pull the country back from the bog.
He broke the country 8 years ago and the majority blamed Biden because it wasn’t all immediately fixed after their regret.
Democrats getting blamed for not fixing Republican fuck-ups.
Truly a tale as old as time.

And democrats giving everyone a reason to not vote for them. Turnip didn’t win the last election, the dems gave it away.
If only Kamala had promised everyone a pony I would have been motivated to go out and vote against fascism.

Exactly. The mainstream press is right wing. They’re going to cover anything a Dem does that could be considered a lie. But it’s after the election.
The new model has to be to win at all costs.
I am not disagreeing with you, but it definitely was because the Dems refused to clean up after Cheeto Benito.

Not supporting Isreal would had cost votes too.
