As a foreigner I think all American presidents on my lifetime have been pieces of shit and America is a hopeless hell hole. Fucking 10 corporations in a trench coat pretending to be a government.

Serious question,

are you too young to remember Obama or was he considered bad too?

This is the sanest comment.

Biden's economy was shit too, which is what made it possible for Trump to broaden his coalition so significantly.

It's still Bidens economy for the next four years unless it's doing good then it becomes Trump's

Trump making the capitalist hellhole worse, does not make the capitalist hellhole acceptable. No matter if the presidents name was Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush or Reagan.

An economy that cannot provide access to basic healthcare and education for its citzens is a failed economy, no matter how high the price tags of stocks traded by coked up psychopaths are.

If Biden or Harris were president now live would be better for millions, perhaps even billions, of people on this planet.

Both sidesing this it lazy and ineffective.

Anyone who bothers paying attention knew Republicans were going to fuck our economy up. They always do. But even I am shocked at how fast it's happening.

Doesn't matter. This country is too stupid to learn from mistakes. And down the ship goes.

Less shitty != not shitty

I think he should be in the Hague, personally.

Greatest president during Joe's presidency. We'll sorely miss anyone who is not Trump.

Bad still bad. Ignoring real poverty, homelessness and struggle because "line go up" was not good. No reason to rehabilitate an imperialist billionaire loving war criminal because his successor is arguably worse in many ways.

Continued the tradition of hollowing out the middle class for wealthy donors like any other politician. The man represented Delaware for God's sake. Economy got "better" while people continued to get gradually poorer, materially.

I guess that's better than having every index in the world crater because chatgpt said tariffs on everyone though, so.

He wasn't great but he wasn't batshit crazy like Trump. Sure he should have pushed for universal healthcare, a universal income, taxing the rich more, etc.

The only advantage of Trump being this fucking nuts is America should swing left harder than ever in 2028. Maybe we can get some billionaires to pay their share and some awesome social services to catch with the planet. But that all depends if we even have an election.

Your average Republican still.blames him. That's he playbook get your people to blame the left no matter what!

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ask someone to repeat the talking point of the Republicans and then ask them about the Democrats. I bet everyone knows about woke, crime immigration and so on. The Republicans run on culture wars and anger to get more interaction like social media.

I think rich people do rich people things and your entire class is to blame for all of this.

[–] piefood@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

I still hate it. Sure, the economy under Trump is worse, but that doesn't mean the economy under Biden wasn't also terrible.

[–] Sine_Fine_Belli@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I miss it, I also miss Joe Biden

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

My family has been paycheck to paycheck since about 2012, nothing has changed for that. I don't care about the stock market, I care about an income for the low income people like me. No president in my life time has done that.

Trump never will, Biden could have put pressure on congress and chose not to.

I'm glad we all seem to be on the same page about this 😄

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk -3 points 1 week ago

Maybe he should have run for president then? Oh wait....
