Despite the impressive growth in broad economic indicators like GDP and a reduction in unemployment, millions of Americans are grappling with an ongoing humanitarian crisis. The Democrats’ touted economic recovery, often referred to as “Bidenomics,” faces scrutiny as food insecurity reaches its highest level since Biden took office, and financial hardship in 2023 is worse than in the previous three years. While the initial aid measures helped alleviate the blow of the COVID-19 pandemic, the subsequent failure to enact a robust social agenda and the termination of temporary aid programs have left many Americans struggling. The situation is compounded by the fact that the country’s strong economic recovery has not translated into welfare for many, as financial distress increased significantly after the expiration of pandemic aid programs. This dichotomy between macroeconomic success and the reality on the ground has led to growing discontent, with recent polls reflecting low approval of Biden’s economic leadership.
“Biden is great if you consider the alternative”
This is a false choice, though. Biden is the only electable alternative, but electing Biden doesn’t actually stop Republicans taking back power later when voters get sick of Democrats failing to fulfill their promises. It’s like clockwork! Every few election cycles the voters get sick of Democrats failing to live up to expectations and gamble on Republicans, and without fail the Republicans make everything worse. Then they vote for Democrats to clean up the mess, but they never manage to accomplish everything they promise and things just get worse.
Surely you see how this ends, right? Eventually Republicans will get elected one too many times and the country will collapse.
Can’t wait to be told to vote for Pete Buttigieg when I’m a homeless squatter in a bombed out Walmart.
It’s only a false take if you ignore the past 5+ decades and call any progress “false” compared to whatever ideological inanity that only exists in your head.
Biden has in fact been great for objective, and easily understood metrics of progress.
There is no alternative to get that progress elsewhere. Show me the republican accomplishing anything close, I’ll wait. Seriously show anything… show me the socialist changing shit right now… again I’ll wait. But for how many years?
We didn’t didn’t get a socialist utopia before, and in fact the US got 8 years of lies taking the country to Iraq, creating the patriot act, and causing the economy to melt down… meanwhile Obamacare did in fact help extend access to healthcare and removed arbitrary barriers like preexisting conditions. Yet… it’s all the same and we might as well vote for Bush again and go to war with Iraq or Iran. Both sides… That’s the track re-record you want to ignore.
It’s not perfect but tell me the socialists that helped US citizens get better healthcare… I’ll wait (for years) for the answer.
Tell me the obstacles for not accomplishing more? Joe Lieberman? Not liberals…
So keep it up with the “alternatives” angle. All while sounding ignorant about said angles and offering no alternatives.
I didn’t say there was an alternative. Maybe there isn’t - I certainly don’t expect to be able to retire and will be forced to take out a 9mm plan when I’m too old to work.
