God what fucking world are these people living in? The economy is good??? Inflation is solved??? My grocery and gas bills are still nearly double what they were before Biden took office so I’m going with “That’s a fucking lie”
Don't you see they have statistics on their side though!
I'm so tired of hearing "real wage growth has rebounded faster than ever before!"
Really? In what fucking jobs that working class people are working? You telling me grocery store workers are getting paid more? Or delivery drivers? Looking into the data I'm sure the growth is entirely driven by the top 40% of earners who don't love in anything close to the precarity that average working class folks do.
The only reason there is any gains at all is because unions are striking and just vaguely point at rent increases and grocery food prices and even company negotiators are forced to grant giant raises because public perception would annihilate them otherwise.
Claiming Biden caused any of this is ludicrous. He made the rich get richer and we have to fight tooth and nail for every cent we claw back from them. Fuck Biden he deserves to lose, and it's a shame Trump is the alternative, because the path forward is bad or worse.
