We've been doing this seesaw for the last 30 years. Republicans are that guy we've all seen at work who gets nothing done but gets credit for everyone else's work, and fails up because of it.

Just do another round of stimulus check and let Donny deal with the bill. 😏

more like stabilize. without the second term to actually make some progress this is going to go in the shitter fast.

You thought inflation was bad. Get ready for Trumpflation.

I guess that's better then renaming the war economy "Bidenomics"

Grow food if you can now folks shit is about to get bad. Buy flour in mass if you can.

If the democrats are so sick of getting swapped out maybe they should field some decent candidates.

It basically happens every cycle, easy to go back all the way to George Bush Sr -> Clinton ( if not earlier).

But the problem is, the current economic boom is even more K-shaped than any other in recent history; half of the population are struggling worse than before, but their plight is masked by an incredible boom for the other half.

I can’t blame the working class for thinking back to ~2016, and remembering things fondly.

Trump will only make the current situation worse, but I can at least understand how the US ended up in its current predicament.

And we have several pandemic vectors on the rise - again. Well, with one major change, we now have a vaccine denialist in charge of core agencies. Prospects look good for the vulture industries.

I see it more as speed of descent.

I'm of the opinion this country is sold, and died about half a century ago as a democracy, and this is just leftover momentum. All but waned momemtum.

Our vote isn't on whether to reorient the economy to reflect the priorities of its citizens, merely how, and if at all, to manage some of the social issue symptoms of our crumbling commons, the ruins of public education, as the owners search for new vectors of exploitation.

I see voting blue as akin to requesting we leave the water pumps turned on for this sinking ship to buy time(D), and voting red a vote turn them off because some passengers have been deluded into hating other passengers and really, really want to watch them drown(R) despite being in the same boat with them.

The holes are our economic policy, but ask either party about patching them and you'll get something akin to "What holes? This ship is unsinkable! If you think there's holes, you're the problem."

Dont worry though, there are lifeboats, just enough for the politicians and their donors. Wealth means not having any national allegience.

Lmao, he rebuilt the stock market.

That is not the economy.

i'm holding a huge cash position, waiting for the inevitable downturn to buy up assets.

He looks horrible

Why does he look like Kim Jong Un in this picture 😂
