Yes, Biden didn't artificially make number go up. But he definitely didn't mess up the economy. In a global look at the economy the US fared better than most other countries in what was a global downturn after the post-COVID free-money boom tailed off. But yeah, Trump has shown in the past over and over that he is definitely the person to make sure things are done financially responsibly. From his dozens of bankruptcies, known history of not paying contractors and lawyers, and his multiple lawsuits for being a slumlord. So how could you have seen this coming?

Dude, I did not know Trump past that much. The belief was that this guy is a businessman he will take the necessary steps to make things better. but later I Came to know fuck this all happend

> I Came to know fuck this all happend

I guess it's time to watch:

You didn't get the feeling that he was a slimy liar from the way he talked?

So rather than doing the bare minimum amount of research into who would be leading the country for four years, you just figured "dude was a businessman, I'm sure it'll be fine."

Imagine what life would be like under the other person probably troops in the Ukraine and restrictions on AI. With no good choices it doesn't matter who you vote for because they all represent the uniparty and you aren't part of that.

There's zero indication Harris would have put US boots on the ground in Ukraine or more onerous AI restrictions than Trump.

And neither of those things comes close to causing a recession from a war of choice, or all the illegal tariffs.

The other unknowable question is: Would Harris have bombed Iran?

There wouldn't be rampant government corruption with a different leadership. It's your two party system at its best. The one part brings stupidity, guns and chaos to the party and the other part cleans up afterwards.

You really should purge the corrupt politicians before doing anything else.

Whoa there. Both parties are rampantly corrupt. However, one is a million times more rampantly corrupt than the other. And one values stability and peace and quiet (while siphoning off money) while the other values flinging shit at the wall to see what sticks.

Remember this is the internet, obvious sarcasm doesn't necessarily come across, and the understanding ingroup may be a fraction of the people that read it.

everyone starts somewhere. Maybe the guy is 18 under this Trump and voting for the first time, so 14 under Biden and 10 under last Trump
