Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You are confusing the issue by bringing another issue into it.
That working class is doing worse is another matter, and something that clearly already is getting worse under Trump.
Harris would have been better for working class in every way. And would have been a better platform for promoting more left wing politicians than letting Republicans win.
You are arguing a very strange point, to a degree it's basically nonsensical.
I'm not comparing Biden to Trump. That is just too easy and kind of masturbatory. Yes, I agree Biden was better than Trump, and Harris would be too. The world is more complicated than "red bad, blue good". The important question is, when Trump is worse, why is he president?
Democrats can continue to be better than Republicans in every way, and it won't matter. Republicans have a narrative and Democrats don't. That is the point that matters.
I knew with absolute certainty that Biden would be a one term president and be replaced by a far worse fascist. I didn't know it would be Trump v2, and I didn't know Biden would far exceed expectations, but I knew he wasn't what we needed to turn off that path.
Democrats can't keep repeating the same mistakes and getting surprised by the results.
I don't see how that is relevant to the fact that Trump inherited a sound economy?
You claim the economy has nothing to do with the standard of living, inflation, or wages yet keep harping on about "how good the economy" was as if that means anything to anyone outside the top 1%. Why?
Absolutely not, I have no idea how you got to that conclusion?
It's relevant to why it didn't matter.
