I'm not kidding when I say I had to stop watching. They showed a middle-aged lady's Tiktok vid with a BIDENOMICS chyron at the top and she said "Why am I voting for Biden?!? Unemployment is down to..." and that was more than enough.

Libs when data benefits their shtick - "Look at the data! The stock market hit record highs!"

Libs when data doesn't benefit their shtick - "Look, Biden's not perfect but nobody is. His polling numbers aren't the greatest - that is true. The problem is people don't know what he's done and is doing for the United States of America. Plus - do you want Dictator Trump? Hello - you don't! Now - look at this data! The stock market hit record highs!...

They just don’t seem to get that a system that allows for and rewards the Trump shenanigans of the past decade or so, is a doomed system.

From their point of view - Trump is a nearly unstoppable monster that somehow mushroomed up out of the right-wing fever swamps. Trump is their Candyman. They know his evil malevolence will kill them if they say "Trump" five times in front of a mirror.

Yea I'll take bidenomics seriously when it stops excluding the cost of food housing and Healthcare in its analysis.

BTW just had to renew my health insurance, went up 15% this year.

Paid them $7200 last year and they lowered the cost of an inhaler from $35 to $32 one time.

Clearly that wasn't enough profit. And this is in one of the most progressive states in the country with a state run marketplace.
