    I mean to be fair to them it worked out last time. They have no real reason to think people won’t fall in line now, certainly not enough to justify changing their evil policies over it.

      Last time trump’s failure to handle Covid was fresh in people’s minds and definitely influenced votes. That isn’t nearly as relevant anymore (sadly.)

      Now we have 4 years of Biden only delivering on his donor promise of “nothing will fundamentally change.” People’s material living conditions have continued to degrade under his stewardship. Meanwhile, Biden is actively enabling a genocide, and the dems’ pathetic rallying cry is “Trump will genocide worse!”

      I didn’t think the dems could continue to get even worse at politics, but here we are, and it’s looking like a very dark November is coming.

        The fact that libs are so desperate to get everyone to believe the economy is going great actually (and you’re just an unserious dum dum if you think Bidenomics isn’t working) tells me they absolutely know the economy sucks and they are shitting their pants over it. Because “it’s the economy, stupid” is actually a reliable predictor of how people ultimately end up voting.

        Part of that I suppose is also that Biden didn’t handle COVID better than Trump. He just declared it over and called it a day. At least trump gave financial aid
