Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

When has he done that?
Again, what can he do about this?
He put forward a bill that ended up creating and will create a lot of jobs. He can't control what people are paid in those jobs and he also cannot control rent and housing prices.
You seem to be forgetting that this was about someone claiming they wanted a "functional adult" in the White House, followed by me pointing out a lot of things he'd accomplished and 'functional' does not mean 'does everything you want.'
And you basically chime in complaining that he isn't doing everything you want.
The problem here is you are asking someone that doesn’t really want an answer or likely to even be fixed they just want to say something loud and blame someone else.
If it wasn’t this it’d be another bigger picture problem blamed one on individual.
President Joe Biden to repeatedly ask his advisers: Why then are so many Americans still not feeling great about the economy?
Is that supposed to be your proof of Biden trying to convince us that everything is fine?
Because maybe you should have read the article to the end...
Actions speak louder than words my friend. Most people are still struggling with rent and food.
Bidenomics Is Working: The President’s Plan Grows the Economy from the Middle Out and Bottom Up—Not the Top Down
You seem to have forgotten what you said. You said this:
How does "Bidenomics is working" mean "everything is fine?" It doesn't even mean "everything is better than it was."
Sorry, I guess the subtle differences between the two sentiments are lost on me.
"The chemotherapy is working" doesn't mean "the cancer is gone."
The cancer is spreading and metastasising. Instead of cutting out the cancer, or using chemo, they are bragging about curing the ear infection. Great analogy, thank you.
Based on what metric? Homelessness? Because that is far from the only metric for an economy.
It's a pretty important one, especially to the people that are becoming homeless.
"It's a pretty important one" does not make it the sole metric to base an improving economy on, nor does it mean that Biden is claiming everything is fine. So you really have no point here.
Again, your claim-
Not only have you not supported it, you found an article that contradicted it.
He is specifically not telling people that everything is fine, and the first article you provided proved that.
So I guess this is a "what are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?" situation. Believe it or not, I'm choosing my own eyes.
Great, I hope that works out for you!
It generally does, yes. Weirdly, the whole "believe what I say even though I showed you the exact opposite thing" isn't especially convincing as arguments go.
I agree! I hope things are going as well for you as the Biden administration tells you they are lol. Have a wonderful day
The Biden Administration that explicitly said things aren't going well in the link you provided for me to "prove" that Biden said the opposite of that? Yes, they are doing that well.
I love how you are just pretending your link didn't contradict you. It's pretty damn funny.
Enjoy the baff, mate ✌️
Sorry, I'm an American and don't know what that obviously foreign word 'baff' means. Apparently, you are not an American, so it's weird that you think you know better about what is going on here politically than I do.
The ultimate guide to Cockney rhyming slang
I never said I know better, although I do get an outsiders view in.
If you don't know better, maybe defer to the people you do who are telling you that you are incorrect. I am not the only one.
Lol
"Why aren't people feeling good about this?" is pretty much the polar opposite of "convincing us that everything is fine". Trying to understand why people aren't fine despite economic "indicators" is exactly what I want a leader to do.
