    I’m not kidding when I say I had to stop watching. They showed a middle-aged lady’s Tiktok vid with a BIDENOMICS chyron at the top and she said “Why am I voting for Biden?!? Unemployment is down to…” and that was more than enough.

    Libs when data benefits their shtick - “Look at the data! The stock market hit record highs!”

    Libs when data doesn’t benefit their shtick - "Look, Biden’s not perfect but nobody is. His polling numbers aren’t the greatest - that is true. The problem is people don’t know what he’s done and is doing for the United States of America. Plus - do you want Dictator Trump? Hello - you don’t! Now - look at this data! The stock market hit record highs!..

      These are often the people who scream “literally 1984!” about China and other enemies of the US, when they literally do the 1984 “Your chocolate ration has been increased from 50 grams to 45 grams, praise Big Brother Biden for his benevolence.”

      They just don’t seem to get that a system that allows for and rewards the Trump shenanigans of the past decade or so, is a doomed system.

        From their point of view - Trump is a nearly unstoppable monster that somehow mushroomed up out of the right-wing fever swamps. Trump is their Candyman. They know his evil malevolence will kill them if they say “Trump” five times in front of a mirror.

      Yea I’ll take bidenomics seriously when it stops excluding the cost of food housing and Healthcare in its analysis.

      BTW just had to renew my health insurance, went up 15% this year.

      Paid them $7200 last year and they lowered the cost of an inhaler from $35 to $32 one time.

      Clearly that wasn’t enough profit. And this is in one of the most progressive states in the country with a state run marketplace.
