The comments are horrible. It's comment after comment by Biden/dem apologists. The top comment...

Joe Biden didn't wave a magic wand and force my library board to approve cost of living increases in next year's budget, so I'm not getting one. Nor did he force the local grocery store to lower the cost of hamburger, the gas station to sell gas at $3 per gallon, or my landlord to rescind the $50 per month rent increase. Dang. I'm so angry at Joe for not knowing me, feeling my pain. I think I'll just vote for Trump, that'll show him.

were not going to vote for trump because he’s a racist. We just want the president we voted for to acknowledge our existence at the minimum

WOW YOU’RE SOooOoooOO POOR!!! GUESS YOU’LL VOTE FOR DRUMPF NEXT YEAR SO YOUR MAMA CAN EAT HUH??? maybe-later-kiddo

Absolute brain rot of a party. I prefer outright hostility over this condescending bullshit because at least the outright fascists will understand why they’re being shot

The price of goods and services are transmitted to us from heaven (the market). Politicians cannot effect it just as they cannot effect the movement of the stars.

Either the president has the power to change lives or he doesn't. If Biden can't do good things, then it doesn't matter who I vote for. If Trump only gets things done because he cheats, then Biden can cheat too. If Biden wont cheat, then he could have forced your grocer to sell cheaper food but didn't
