    I’m not comparing Biden to Trump. That is just too easy and kind of masturbatory. Yes, I agree Biden was better than Trump, and Harris would be too. The world is more complicated than “red bad, blue good”. The important question is, when Trump is worse, why is he president?

    Democrats can continue to be better than Republicans in every way, and it won’t matter. Republicans have a narrative and Democrats don’t. That is the point that matters.

    I knew with absolute certainty that Biden would be a one term president and be replaced by a far worse fascist. I didn’t know it would be Trump v2, and I didn’t know Biden would far exceed expectations, but I knew he wasn’t what we needed to turn off that path.

    Democrats can’t keep repeating the same mistakes and getting surprised by the results.

      I don’t see how that is relevant to the fact that Trump inherited a sound economy?

        You claim the economy has nothing to do with the standard of living, inflation, or wages yet keep harping on about “how good the economy” was as if that means anything to anyone outside the top 1%. Why?

          Absolutely not, I have no idea how you got to that conclusion?
