      You mean like tax cuts for the rich to fix every problem? Because that’s all they have.

        That accelerated with Regan and has been the status quo for every president since. Biden proposed a wealth tax and it got stone walled by a Republican congress. You could argue it’s all for show but laying it at his feet is a little “mask off” with your intent.

        Still likely a troll account just don’t want you convincing the less critically inclined of insanity.

        Edit: replied to the wrong person, this was meant to be a reply to the parent comment saying that “bidenomics” was the problem oops.

          You mean every Republican president. Democrats have not chased trickle down economics.

            Sorry I should have been specific. I wasn’t speaking about trickle down economics, I was speaking about the economic policies in general that tax the poor while leaving the rich mostly unaffected and while purposely building in loopholes.

            This may not have been strengthened as much during times when Dems were in power but in the past it certainly hasn’t been weakened, My argument is that Joe Biden has actually made moves to try.

      Theres no arguing with these people - that would be expecting the most basic level of critical thinking

          Isn’t that the new dog-whistle term being used to disenfranchise younger voters and muddy the waters for democratic or liberal leaning politicians?

          No offense, but that really isn’t a great way to show you’re a critical thinker.

            The young know exactly who and what the duopoly is, so there is no muddying the water. They rightfully see that there is nearly zero difference between the two in policy or their commitments to Wall Street.

      This type of comment that says their side is right… are just hilarious to me. Corporations bought your government through bill riders packed in 1,000 page bills.

      Neither side wants to fix this mess, because their millions in campaign funding relies on keeping corporations and fat cats happy.

      If you are in the bottom 95%, you aren’t being served by your government anymore.

      This Conservative vs Liberal fighting is exactly what they want. Serves as a nice distraction.

          Liberals thinking they were voting for ‘lesser evil’ got us here. This is 100% on the shoulders of shitlibs that cant tell the difference between red fascism and blue fascism.

            And what solution are you offering here? Not vote? Vote 3rd party? Vote for Trump?

            I’ve already voted for progressives in my local elections.

                You still didn’t answer my question. What solution do you have? “Biden sux” is true, but just yelling it over and over is not gonna further any leftist ideology…

                God damn your takes are stupid. “zero impact”. To prove a universal quantification false only a single counterexample is required. That’s it. Nothing more is required and then poof you are an idiot. You sure you want to make that bet? You absolutely sure that voters have zero impact on policy or legislation? Cause, like, votes determine the passage of policy where I live.

                Counterexample:: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Colorado

                Oh look. Votes determined the legality of cannabis. Was illegal before then votes then not. That’s a policy change BTW in case you are even more confused than the average stoner.

                Done! I’ve proved you wrong! Congrats! No further effort by anybody is required to prove you are stupid. Just one example was required. Nothing more.

              Because being shot in the face is exactly the same as stubbing a toe. They both hurt- and because they both hurt- they HAVE to hurt the exact same!

              Ah yes, because both are TOTALLY not owned by corporate interests, and both will shoot you in the head when they have the opportunity. Neither party cares about you and only wingcucks think that either party will deliver upon the promises they want and not enrich their corporate donors.
