    If the economy struggles during a Democrat’s presidency, you should probably check the policies the Republican before them pushed through before jumping to blame them.

    These types of policies can take years for the full impact to be felt.

      Everything takes a decade to actually take effect and accomplish anything notable.

      On an unrelated note, political control swings wildly on a pendulum between two parties, one of which dismantles anything good ever and the other of which stands by and lets them do it while ensuring that bad things continue unobstructed so they can hurt more people.

      This is a good and functional system, and should not be immediately burned to the ground. I am very smart.

      What about the genocide going on right now in Isreal, is that the result of a Republican policy too? Did Trump force Biden to continue to provide bombs and bullets that are being used to slaughter thousands upon thousands of innocent Paleistinians?

      Also I find it super interesting that Republicans have so much power and Democrats don’t. I find it super neat that Republics have power during their terms, but they also apparently have equal if not greater power when the Dems have a term too. Fascinating stuff this “democracy”

          That’s what Democracy is, having 2 dudes who are different only in the most inconsequential ways imaginable to choose from.

            Exactly, we need to elect Republicans to every office. There’s no difference between Republicans and Democrats so if we consistently elect far right Republicans then the Democrats will have to start running true liberal candidates if they want to compete.

        If you have a criticism of the Democrats you should probably do a bunch of gymnastics to absolve them of any duty to help the public and then vote for them blindly forever.
