I have doubts. Brandon could very easily turn on the money printer. Market is as an inflation compensation package or something.
Brandon could've easily secured his victory at any moment in the past 4 years. The orange man is the easiest election opponent in history. But he hasn't, because he sucks ass, and he won't, because he sucks ass.
Bingo. Biden's entire presidency seems to have been actively trying to piss off most of his base. Even Trump gave people more COVID money.
Sadly, it usually works. I'm still hearing people say 'you still gotta vote for Biden man'. I thought enthusiastically supporting a genocide for all the world to see would put an end to that (actually, I didn't).
All Biden has to do to not lose is stop actively pushing off the people that elected him last time. He barely won last time and has actively been shitting on anybody who cares about labor rights and unions, the environment, or enthusiastically supporting a genocide.
There's legit a lot of people who want to hold their nose and vote for Biden and tell themselves maybe it'll get better but Biden keeps coming out to explicitly tell them no, it won't get better, fuck you, vote for me.
It's that last part coming from the mouths of smug PMC Dems that is already worn out. I get right wingers when they say they want to see libs cry because a small part of me feels the same way. Either way election night is gonna be fun
Nah, last minute works when it comes to the money machine. Remember, Americans don't have object permanence.
He might promise to do that (but even that is doubtful). I think Brandon will continue to do absolutely nothing.
He'll punch left and talk about how the stock market is fine. I remember the first debate in 2020 he was bragging about how we'd never have socialized healthcare in this country...during COVID.
lol he would never do anything to help anyone it’s against his dna
