Breaking news: in one of the most productive countries / economies in the entire history of humanity, the majority of people creating that productivity do not get to enjoy the rewards of that productivity.

same as it ever was.

      How ignorant can a comment even be? I mean just the idea that the current economy and state of wealth inequality is Joe Biden’s fault is astounding. The previous administration gave biggest handout to the 1% of any government in the history of mankind.

      But that’s just the history of America for the last 40 years I guess. Republicans administrations gutting things, giving massive handouts to the rich, destroying social safety nets, allowing corruption and fraud to go rampant, etc… then when a democratic administration tries to clean it up just a little bit, to stabilize things, all the mouth breathers suddenly forget everything happened beforehand.

        Don’t get me wrong I hate the prior guy. But isn’t it always funny how the Democratic party in their times of super majority don’t tend to fix the shit entirely that the last guy rammed through. Take the tax cuts and removing alot of deductions for the working class. Wouldn’t it make sense to undo those tax cuts and tax increases?

        Both sides aren’t the same but this ain’t a left vs right issue, it’s a class war.

        Good thing that Biden isn’t fixing that but is instead spending all his time trying to throw more bombs on babies.

            Honestly I think people are just tired of being stuck between a rock and a hard place of literal authoritarianism and apathetic stagnation. Even if one is clearly better people are desperate for change and the best leader that we have to look up to is a stuttering old man who complained he wasn’t paid enough while being extremely upperclass and having a stay at home nanny for his kids.

            People crave representation and I can see why they complain about the extreme lack of it. And lashing out at the downtrodden do not get them to feel better. You can’t whip a smile onto someone’s face.

              Valid points.

              As an aside, I am tired of hearing about Biden’s “stutter”… I have found long floor speeches on YouTube and Biden does NOT stutter. This is a cheap trick to excuse his obvious age problem.

                Fair on the stutter part but not sure what to call it when he struggles with words but especially in the case of Trump who literally can’t remember and stumbles his way through sentences. Cause it is not perfectly fine coherent speech that I expect from people over 80

                  Stumbling, gaffing, or struggling with words doesn’t bother me. To continue on as if it didn’t happen without correcting it does.

        Lots of words by a dolt who just doesn’t get it.

        I get it. You voted Hilary. Like a dolt.
