Will 2026 finally be the year when a critical mass of Americans wakes up and realizes that Republicans always screw up the economy?

Donald Trump inherited an economy from Joe Biden that was perhaps not firing on all cylinders but was in pretty good shape all the same.

For the third straight time, a Democratic president handed a Republican president an economy that was at the least pretty good, and at most (Bill Clinton) really humming along very nicely. And, for the third straight time, the Republican has made things worse. Which also means that Democratic presidents have to clean up messes left by their GOP predecessors.

      Both of Biden’s White House Press Secretary stood in front of the press every day talking about how great the economy is that this working class are not struggling. In the meantime, we had the highest increase of homelessness ever recorded, the highest percentage of people living paycheck to paycheck. The highest level of auto repossession since 2008. The largest and fastest growing segment of the homeless are the elderly. Democrats do not give a flying fuck about the working class any more than Republicans do.

            I definitely do

            Your obsession with saying that the Dems are just as shit as the republicans smells off to me

            Yes, the Dems are shit. Those of us in the civilised world see them quite far right

            But it’s absurd to pretend that the Dems are anywhere near as bad as the Republicans

            Hence it seems like you have a reason to whip up anti-dem sentiment

            ie. You aren’t arguing in good faith
