Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Okay, I'm being hyperbolic, but the messaging is that the economy is all of the following
working great
for average Americans
And doing better now than it was two years ago.
The third claim, I guess there's some room for because of lockdowns and all that, but I really don't see the first two. I just don't. Not that I think Trump will be better; he'll be far worse ofc, but I don't see a meaningful positive impact from Bidenomics in my life, nor in the lives of the people I know. So, like I said before, this really just feels kinda like straight up lying from my POV.
Nailed it. Maybe the economy is doing great if you're one of those folks who can afford a lifted F-250 and trips to Disney, but I'm not one of those people and I don't know anyone who is. The next car I buy will probably be over five years old and last week I took the kids through an automated car wash as a treat.
Going to the car wash as a treat really nails the vibe for me. I hope things get better for you guys soon.
That's the neat thing, they're better than they've ever been and it's still like this. Shit just keeps getting more expensive.
