That any candidate running against Trump could possibly be a close race really is a knife to my faith-in-humanity's liver, and that fucker's been in critical condition since before Trump. What the fuck is wrong with us? We've already seen this geriatric Hitler wanna-be in action once already, and just about half of the voters looked at that dumpster fire and decided they want more?
He could be running against a literal cockroach, and that roach should win in a landslide because it isn't god-damned Trump.
Obama handed him such a healthy economy that survived many of his dumbass attempts at fucking it up. Imagine if we'd had a smart person on it. Ugh.
And then immediately tried to take credit for the healthy economy, totally fucked up every attempt at a covid response which literally tanked the economy and every single dipshit blames it all on Biden.
Why is it the last 2 Dems who took office seemed to inherit an absolute economic shit show from the previous repub ...
If you take credit for every good metric and blame all of the bad metrics on your predecessor, it makes me a little suspicious about the motives. They all do it, as long as I can remember.
The option to burn it down is attractive when a system is perceived as not being helpful. Campaigning that you can fix it with a couple small tweaks is unattractive.
Propaganda is a helluva drug.
And Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth.
