We collectively dodged a fucking bullet when Trump lost, but the stupid, ignorant masses don't on the whole realize this. They don't care how so many of the problems we currently face, including inflation and ongoing COVID strife, are the aftermath of the mess Trump created, and that Biden has done very well given the hand he was dealt.
I mean, that is the thing about problems you can't directly solve. You tend not to care who started it, and you care only that it gets solved, and if it doesn't, it's annoying.
They further ignore all the good news in the economy.
There's some good news. There's also the fact that hospitals keep getting slammed over and over again, that services in other industries are scaled way back, and that we're closing in on a million people dead from covid, a collective loss that's barely been acknowledged.
Instead of appreciating what Biden has accomplished with the slimmest of margins in Congress, and seeing that the answer to getting more out of Congress is adding MORE Democrats,
Gonna stop you right there, tiger, and remind you that "vote harder" is not a great campaign slogan after 2016 and 2020.
they're quite willing to blindly hand control right back to Republicans again, no matter how much they've lied about the last election, no matter how unprincipled Republicans have proven themselves to be, no matter how cravenly they've debased themselves to curry favor from their ignorant, sniveling narcissist king, no matter how brazenly they work to rig the next election in their favor.
Yeah it's not blind; they don't care about hypocrisy. They just don't.
The public certainly doesn't appreciate enough the basic decency of Biden, even when held up against the so-recent example of the childish, petulant, empathy-lacking, constantly-gaslighting inhumanity of Trump.
How would you like people to appreciate Biden's basic decency? What would that look like? And at what point is it okay for them to say, you really need to be doing better.
I'd never make it in politics or punditry because I have very little respect for voters in general.
You've made that very clear.
It's sometime sacrificing good policy for mediocre policy because the mediocre policy is easier to package and sell.
I'm sick of it. I want to live in a country, or on a planet, where we can expect and demand more out of the voters themselves instead of constantly blaming politicians for not meeting voters on their simplistic, ignorant, short-sighted level.
I'm confused here, what are you sick of? Voters, or settling for shit so more voters that you don't like might possibly vote for basic decency?
