The slight majority of Americans say they are worse off than four years ago, while their assessments of the U.S. economy are subpar and inflation remains a key concern.

    That is not all that you said. This is what you said:

    Nothing will fundamentally change, things will get 10% worse every year and the weapons shipments to the genocidal frontier will continue. Same as it ever was.

    So that was all a joke? Things could fundamentally change and things might not get 10% worse every year?

    Otherwise, seems like we all might as well give up.

      Look I’m just quoting the president, sorry if Biden makes you so hopeless, that’s why I’m voting PSL

        Now you’re lying. Biden didn’t say anything about a 10% change every year, better or worse, you did.

        You’re lying to avoid the questions: Were you joking, or will things get 10% worse every year? If so, why bother?

        (Also, just so you know, I could not give less of a shit who you vote for.)

        Now please answer the questions.

          Yeah I joked about the 10% worse, they just raised interest rates and all the warmongering lead to inflation (red sea bypass due to Israel and Russian oil getting cut off)

          Excuse me for remembering what happened in the last 4 years

          Also Biden ended the COVID unemployment payouts, boneheaded move because COVID numbers are higher than ever.

          They ended COVID administratively

              Almost as funny as the Democrats “ending” COVID by cutting off payouts so people would “go back to work”

                And now you’re making me think you were also lying about your claim that everything will get significantly worse every year was a joke.

                    Nope, I’m seriously asking why anyone should bother if things will get 10% worse every year.

                    The problem here is you can’t seem to decide whether that claim is serious or a joke.
