    It sucks arguably the best and most effective president of my lifetime might lose reelection to a career criminal because he is 3 years older.

    What planet are these people inhabiting - they’re both career criminals for one, it’s not the age it’s the collapsing your economy supporting Ukraine and pretending COVID isn’t happening that’s the problem.

      The economic claims all just reveal that these people are making over $100k and living in a bubble. Even people doing reasonably well are noticing shit just keeps getting worse.

        Fr, ranting about how shit the economy is and everything becoming more expensive is a pretty common conversation piece. Really gives away how out of touch these idiots are.

          Because they assume that GDP, Stock Market and Job Creation are the only measure of how good the economy is.

          Not more relevant statistics like: rent prices, food prices, wages

          You can create millions of jobs but it doesn’t matter a bit if those jobs can’t afford a 1 bedroom apartment in any part of the country. Its the most clearest signal of how privileged the people on that subreddit in particular are.

        Not like 80% of people under 35 will ever own a house anyway, but mortgage rates are at 8% right now. Even people making good cash would be paying 50+% of their income towards housing right now. What fucking planet are they from that that sounds like a healthy economy?

      a career criminal

      I love it when liberals accidentally stumble close to the point and then miss it entirely

      Yes Trump is a career criminal, but that’s because he’s a capitalist. These dorks think he’s some evil mastermind criminal who’s plotting the destruction of America or some shit. They’re so close to getting it but then stumble right at the end.

      Unironically he might be the best president in my lifetime. He pulled out of a war, that’s something. It says more about the state of the competition than his own competence though.
