Furthermore, I didn’t see much difference in the economy between the two.
You can't see the difference between student loan forgiveness, CHIPS act, infrastructure act, and generally being a boring center-right Democrat, versus "let's put tariffs on Canada and start a trade war with China and fuck up the Covid response so badly that people can steal up to half a trillion dollars from the treasury and basically get away with it?"
There are things to dislike about Biden and I would agree with some of them, and not every single thing the president does will be felt on the level of any particular individual, but comparing the two on real-adult stuff like economic policy is like comparing a pilot's performance against having a Golden Retriever fly the airplane.
No, they don't. Biden has important policy differences with other adult politicians and those differences are worth talking about. Trump eats McDonald's and watches Fox News and rants about Mexican rapists and makes incoherent yelling at his advisors that sometimes they translate into crazy policy decisions for him, but there's nothing like a "policy." He thinks that tariffs are money that another country pays to us, and so sometimes he'll create a tariff that will create very real harm to real people inside the US, and then brag about how much money we're going to collect because of it, because he doesn't know his ass from his elbow as far as "policy" and doesn't want to learn. I meant that analogy like the Golden Retriever flying the airplane as a very serious description of the situation where Trump is making economic "decisions." It's like a toddler cooking dinner. It's like putting a crypto bro in charge of the federal reserve. It's insane on a level that's easy to normalize and lose sight of, and you're feeding into that normalization by talking about Trump's "policy."
(1) This is a bad way to approach the question "is person A better to lead the country or person B", like if you or your friends don't personally have kids then education isn't important, but more importantly (2) Yes they have. Normally, this argument would be plausible because the mechanisms are so indirect, but the gulf between Trump and Biden is so vast that I'm easily confident enough telling you that there has been a difference.
I'll give an example: Around a million people have died of Covid, and a lot of them didn't need to, but Trump fucked up the Covid response basically as badly as it's possible to do without deliberately making the vaccine illegal or something. For any of the people who died because of Trump's incompetence (some friends-of-friends of mine did), their economic lives have been changed because of the difference between Trump and Biden. They can't go to work or support their families anymore.
It's $138 billion to 3.9 million people.
