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.

what "gaslighting" is biden doing about homelessness?
Bidenomics Is Working: The President’s Plan Grows the Economy from the Middle Out and Bottom Up—Not the Top Down
Not about homelessness per se, just the economy as a whole.
oh, so you admit that you were lying.
Well no, there's still record homelessness. That's still the reality.
the lie:
but nice try at gaslighting
They're trying to tell you the economy is doing well. The average person is not doing well. That is the gaslighting.
biden has explained how it is in several regards
if you failed to understand what he spoke about, that is your failing
no, it's your ignorance, not a psy-op
🤷 Sorry you feel that way Greg.
hey, you're the madboi here trolling. i'm just having fun at work ;)
How is this comment not trolling, what have you added to the discourse lol?
the fact that you keep coming back for more proves its value
How mature of you haha.
like you trying to get the last word?
how mature.
Do you have zero self awareness or are you trying to be funny lol?
your inner-monologue is leaking

I get a lot of people are struggling, but you can't claim that the average person isn't doing well when 63% of Americans rate their financial situation as "good" or "very good."
Only 44 percent of U.S. adults say they would pay an emergency expense of $1,000 or more from their savings, according to a new Bankrate survey. That’s up from 2023, when 43 percent of people said the same, and unchanged compared to 2022. Without savings to fall back on, 35 percent of people say they would borrow to pay a $1,000 unexpected expense, either by financing with a credit card and paying it off over time, taking a personal loan or turning to friends or family.
Things are getting better but it's still a shocking figure.
"I say shocking this for response rather than actually responding to the words being said to me for understanding!"
Sorry?
Your responses are more like Republican rhetoric rather than a mutual understanding. Record homelessness has alot more to do with the grand Cheeto and his inability properly manage the pandemic than anything Joe did. And there is only so much he can do when there are so many reasons it got out of hand. He's doing better than most and it would be great if it went away. Holding corporate overlords would be more useful than blaming the politicians that are trying.
Lol. Yeah it's Trumps fault. Good one.
Thanks for agreeing. I finally find this interaction as productive.
Glad I could help with your feelings 👍
