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!

So more of the same? The economy hasn't been good in YEARS, this didn't just start
No, but he's cranked the instability volume up to 30 (of 10) since he re-entered the Oval Office, along with all the naked cash grabs no other president in recent memory would've ever gone near.
And it won't stop when he leaves
It could if we replace these shits with people willing to help non billionaires
Won't happen soon enough to save us. The shit's already hitting the economic fan, so all the billionaires will be able to own everything for pennies on the dollar before long - which has been their overarching goal all along.
The post-covid economic recovery was relatively strong under Biden. Biden had double the job growth Trump did in his first turn. What metrics are you using to back that claim?
You know what did just start? Trump's ruinous economic policies, the ones you're currently excusing.
lolwut? The economy under Biden was terrible. Yes, it's gotten worse under Trump, but pretending that Biden was doing a good job is just putting your head in the sand.
Generatl inflation, Housing, Medical costs, Education costs
You heard a critique of the economy under Biden, which was shit, and assumed it was excusing Trump? Despite them telling us everyday that we are not struggling and everything is good we knew it wasn't. Good economies don't have 2 record back to back levels of homelessness, people living paycheck to paycheck skyrocketed, Biden tried to take credit for those returning to work after closedowns as job recovery. Liberals only see that it's shit now because it's not their team doing it
