Summary
President Joe Biden’s economic achievements—lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturing—are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.
His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.
However, Biden’s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.
Democrats face a “propaganda problem” rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Biden’s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.
Sometimes I downvote something when I’m annoyed by the time I spent reading it, and I’m merely trying to signal to the good folks here that they can spend their time a better way. Not every dumb take deserves an actual reply. In fact almost none of them do. I just want to help people who value their time, as they have done for me. That is pretty much the purpose of the voting system. We’re helping each other out.
If I’m wrong about something you don’t need a downvote because someone would have come in and made my position untenable in the face of their replies. Downvotes are for toxic losers who want to express their disapproval without either spending the time thinking to formulate why, or exposing their position to criticism in return.
My man, do you hear yourself? You’re on tirades flying off the handle all over the forum. Bent out of shape over Internet points, meanwhile other folks are actually replying to you. Get over yourself. Hug a family member or something.
I’m scolding people for not engaging. Stop projecting your reddit brain internet point obsession onto me. You’re the one who decided to interject. And now you’re overreacting to me replying to you? I guess you felt entitled to talk down to me without my having an opportunity to explain myself? Get over yourself. Go back to hiding behind your downvotes if this is how you react to a back and forth.
I have been downvoted and it caused me to introspect.
It doesn’t necessarily change my values or even my position but it is a signal for me to think about the way I’m thinking about stuff. It means I’m clearly missing a perspective.
In the case of you, I think there are enough people trying to reply with reasoning that the up votes and downvotes are just other people supporting positions and expressing their rejection of a position which is already being refuted. They’re adding signal without noise.
There have been no reasonable replies. Nothing but covid deniers and vapid slapfighters like you. Not a single person with a well thought out position that comports with measurable reality. When lies don’t work, there’s grandstanding like you’re doing without a single thing of substance to reply to. BlueMAGA and nothing else.
The reason you don’t think Biden did anything wrong, it turns out, is because you agree with him that covid is over and if you die it’s your fault for
being disabled, poor or unluckynot getting a vaccine (despite most people who die being vaccinated).You don’t have a problem with Biden because you’re also a eugenicist. Close enough to a nazi that I feel no hesitation in giving you the title. It’s not the only piece of nazi ideology you’ve taken on yourself with your support of the democrats.
You’re talking down to me but I think you’re subhuman. And my reasoning is inarguable. The attitude towards people who die of covid in this thread is borderline gleeful. But then again you have a .world account so the fact that your beliefs and values are indistinguishable from nazis is pretty much ‘dog bites man’
It’s the extreme leaps to wild conjecture that you’re asserting here that makes it so difficult to take you seriously. It’s hard for me to conclude you aren’t a troll. It’s simply not normal or healthy to make assessments of the intentions of people who barely said anything. Not one of us is an oracle like that. In the off chance that you are intending to be a serious person who just happens to have a bad attitude and chip on your shoulder, I sincerely hope you have lovely and supportive people around you. You deserve the best.
What do you think the word ‘conjecture’ means?
Stop vagueposting. You want to grandstand but you don’t actually want to expose your bullshit to scrutiny. What is your problem with me? Say it out loud.
What a pompous weaselly noodge.
