I somehow doubt the average Lemmy poster you're so in tune with agrees on this.
Economy is better for the country, or you personally? Are you a land owner with a large stock portfolio and other assets?
When the average Lemmy poster is the average member of the electorate, then you let me know. Not too concerned for tankies and right-wing wedge-drivers, if that's who you're referring to.
Put another way, by every classic metric Republicans would hold the economy over Democrats if Trump were in office, we're doing fantastic. GDP Up, Inflation coming down, Gas prices coming down, Stock Market all-time high recently, unemployment low, etc. etc.
Most importantly, pretty much every single metric is improved since — again — the previous two election cycles.
I find it amusing you always try to just reply to singular pieces of low-hanging fruit because you have fundamentally no argument consistently for >80% of the points I make; and of that which you do respond, it's quite easily picked apart.
Just checked your profile and you created 3 different communities and can't attract a single other monthly user due to how you behave online and your ridiculous viewpoints.
You are clearly not interested in discussion and prefer talking to yourself in circles.
Blocked.
LOL as if that has anything to do with the subject at hand. I haven't even attempted to advertise. You're trying so hard to find something and got: Nothing.
Looks like I'm right.
You ignored all this dude's salient points to argue about token legislation, then blocked him when he responded to each of your points with due diligence. You whined about posts for personal attacks, then you made THIS post. What a bigger man you are. Kudos. You should be lauded for your patience, you would never stoop to such a level. You haven't made an ad hominem since middle school debate club. I bet you're right proud of your reading comprehension skills and ability to research.
They kept changing their points and insults with constant edits. You're coming into this thread a day late after most of their posts have edits.
I don't have to engage with bad faith actors after giving it a serious try.
You know edits are public and people can see which posts have been edited right
How can you see the content of what was changed in each edit diff?
You can see edit timings - meaning this gentleman is just lying about "every post being edited". I edited the post where I mentioned it when it was posted to illustrate the point (Timestamp doubled, edit timing shows in parentheses)
In fact, you can see he edited his own posts more with quickly googled info.
