Okay, who here honestly thinks a Republican president is going to do better on the economy?

Please let me prove you wrong by answering in the affirmative.

Republican presidents are always worse for the economy. It's a low bar to cover, but at least democrats don't cut as much from education, health care, and other social safety net programs.

What are you trying to say? I'm honestly confused.

[–] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

Oh. If they answer they think a Republican will do better on the economy, then I'll proceed to show how Republicans are the most financially irresponsible of the two parties.

He's looking for a fight that no one is interested in so he can state all the facts they have been building up about economic policy.

The problem is that people that should hear it don't care and those of us who care already know but can't do much about it.

They are just screaming they want to be logical/rational in an unlogical/irrational world.

Well, god damn, if that doesn't hurt.

To be fair we know exactly what can be done about it, we just really don't want our lives to get even harder (or end) in the short term.

LoL yeah... man as a group I think we could do something but like... solid chance you get shot by the national guard like a Kent State college student.

Very few martyrs actually get anything done.

Alright then, hit me with some facts.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright @PeepinGoodArgs this your time to shine, someone is asking for it.

[–] sknowmads@dormi.zone -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean sure. But I was asking you.
