I have more money and better credit than four years ago, yet im further away from buying a house or even a new car than I was 4 years ago, so honestly nothing really changed in the personal quality of life category. My salary went up, and so did the carrot on the stick they've been dangling out of my reach for decades. I feel like this question isn't a great measure for Bidens campaign.
So you're better off and still feel like you're on a treadmill. That makes sense.
And yeah, I wouldn't pose the question like that either. Not enough has been done. The minimum wage is the same. I don't fault him for that but it would be huge for those who struggle the most.
It has to be a comparison with what the other side has to offer.
My wealth grew less than inflation so theres that too. In absolute terms im better off but factoring in everything I don't think anything changed really, credit score did but thats hardly as much Biden, or any president, as it is some contested school debt notes falling off the reportable period because its been to long.
Four years ago there were refrigerator trucks full of corpses and a mob was storming the capitol to overthrow the government on behalf of a would-be dictator.
Nothing resembling either of those things has happened yet this year, so I think in a lot of ways we're all better off regardless of our individual circumstances. Only the second one has much to do with who's president though.
Fully agree with you on the second one, but I will say that the first one very much has to do with who's president, too. Remember when Trump was insisting to everyone who wanted to obey him that they shouldn't wear masks, and should go to work / school while they're sick? And those people started affirmatively attacking people who were doing nothing but try to protect themselves and others? Remember when Anthony Fauci had to have a security detail from the US Marshals?
The one person keeping Ohio in check on covid safety (Amy Acton) was getting death threats until they resigned.
Trump disbanded the american pandemic response team
4 years ago, the orange traitor shitcunt was telling us to bleach our lungs and stick UV lightbulbs up our arses.
Well Donald isn't better off and that's what's important...
Far from it, his life being worse doesn't make mine better.
If it leads to him not being president, it does.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Well Donald, I’m glad you asked that question man because I hope everyone in the country takes a moment to think back when it was like in March of 2020,” Biden said.
The Democratic president reminded the audience that the coronavirus had reached America, hospital emergency rooms were overcrowded, first responders were risking their lives to care for the sick and some nurses wore trash bags due to the scarcity of personal protective equipment.
Morgues were being set up outside of hospitals because so many people were dying, unemployment shot up, the stock market crashed and grocery store shelves were bare, Biden said.
“Donald Trump is no longer president, that’s the first thing,” Biden said, adding that COVID is under control, 15 million jobs returned and the stock market rebounded.
There’s also a view that the public largely has forgotten the turbulence of Trump’s presidency and that, to win reelection, Biden needs to remind them of what it was like as he presents himself as the more stable alternative.
“You gotta elect Colin as your next senator so Ted Cruz joins another loser, Donald Trump,” Biden said.

Personally I was better off 4 years ago, but I was incredibly lucky during the pandemic. And I dont care about that, I'm not voting for trump no matter what.
