The perception is not quite the same as the reality.

Nevertheless, Trump is doing a better job of fueling this view and promising change, even if it's all lip service - he doesn't care because his followers believe everything he says.

The reality is things are better now than in 2020 for most Americans. Unemployment is very low, and wages are up. Relative to the richest of course things are only getting more distant but again, you want Trump to bring equality? Good luck with that, lol.

No I want both of them to unalive, preferably as violently as possible. Unemployment is a vastly flawed metric that doesn't account for underemployment or discouraged workers, and real wages would be significantly down if the government was accurately measuring inflation, which they're intentionally not doing so they can continue to pretend that everything's fine.

Nobody is saying things are fine. They're just not as bad as they could be, or as bad as might feel to a lot of middle class folks. It's still very shit for baby though don't get me wrong.

Not going to wish violence on Biden - he's only improved things relative to where they were at the end of Trump's term. But I do want him to walk off into the sunset away from the presidency.

Trump on the other hand I agree is living excrement so I'd be quite happy for him to be flushed. I don't care about revenge though. I just want his stink gone from the world.

You only say things are fine bc it doesn't affect you personally that much. Also please stop claiming that Biden has improved anything other than AIPAC's grip on our tax dollars.

[–] ynthrepic -5 points 4 months ago

I'm sorry if you're having a hard time, but the statistics and the Bills Biden has passed are improvements for many, even if they don't help you personally.

Anyway, hopefully we agree we both want Trump gone, and Biden too. Given how terrible Biden was at the debate there's a good chance now, and that will mean a better chance the democrats defeat Trump.

Then, the work begins to achieve something even better than what the Democrats have to offer. But it isn't coming from the right-wing, that's for sure.
