The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.
What stability? What boringness? The US is currently at war with a civilian population because it fought back against genocide; we’re about to invade Iran, wages haven’t caught up to inflation, long COVID still has no cure or federal disability recognition despite taking millions out of the job market, median rent is higher than the median wage can afford, union strength is at an all time low thanks specifically to the Biden admin, groceries are still ridiculously expensive despite the government proving in court companies are just price gouging, really nothing is boring, unless you’re rich
You’re right when your definition of “better” is a month where you only have to choose between a roof over your head and food instead of a roof over your head, medicine, and food.
What a disgusting response to the current state of the country and our decades long decline into serfdom.
Wow how quickly you dropped the argument about things being “better.” How about you stop carrying water for people who aren’t serving our best interests and stop acting like politics is a team sport for starters? You can’t even handle legitimate criticism of the party without getting upset because it doesn’t “sound right.”
Dunno what you mean. I’m doing way better than 4 years ago because of the general stability and boringness.

Only about half of that sounds true.

Inflation is slowing: https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/10/economy/us-cpi-consumer-inflation-september/index.html
And you want the government to price fix groceries, which I agree with. But that’s unlikely to ever happen in America.
That’s only 900k union employees in a country with a population of 330 million
Inflation slowing doesn’t undo the damage caused by the previously record high inflation unless everyone got a raise to wipe out the price increases.
Oh right. I forgot that leftists don’t accept “better”. They only accept “perfect”.

And your recommended alternative to voting for Democrats is…?

I dropped the argument about better because you don’t care that it’s better. You made that very clear.
It is better. Better than it would have been. Better than other countries did.
The Democrats are absolute shit. But they’re still better than the other absolute shit. And in America you only get those two options.
So I’ll say again. If your plan isn’t to hold your nose and vote for the better of two shits, what is your plan?
