They had already made this a pretty useless metric earlier in the year by including 2020 data. Now they’re removing it entirely in the middle of a surge.
I am once again saying that Bide has been demonstrably, measurably worse than Trump.
There is nothing you could call this except for evil. Biden’s covid plan has been genocidal.
I was thinking about this just now looking at opinion polling on continued polling of funding Ukraine. If trump were to be elected, does that war end?
Like say what you will about trump but he sent checks to people. They’re not going to forget that. A lot of the positive stuff that was implemented during covid got rolled back under Biden, like student loan pauses, the child tax credit etc.
Not arguing for trump here bc he’s obviously a reprehensible demon but outside of minority communities he for sure is the harm reduction candidate… which happens to be the majority of the American electorate and ESPECIALLY the majority electorate in swing state rural districts.
We are gonna get a second trump term I think which is as hilarious as it is terrifying
he sent checks to people. They’re not going to forget that.
Meanwhile people still remember that Biden promised them more money than he gave.
Yeah if i only think I’m simple terms about the direct impact on my material circumstances under Trump, where i got checks deposited in my account automagically vs biden where i had to fill out a form and then never got my check at all?
Gotta give that one to the cheeto.
As an aside, i remember being surprised when those first checks got direct deposited into my account I never gave them the info. If they can do that, doesn’t that prove quite soundly that the whole performative bullshit paperwork ive done throughout the times of my life, dilligently proving i meet the requirements for aid, were just that? Performative, deliberate roadblocks?
Dems policy points are like pharma commercials. The only truth in them is written in the fine print.
Both of their covid plans have been near-identical, and both genocidal
I don’t think Bidet has been much better than Trump, but I feel like we tend to understate Trump’s role as a successful archetypal conservative president in favor of portraying him as disruptive. There is and was a schism and realignment happening in the conservative bloc, and Trump has been a central figure in that, but he didn’t make the schism that disrupted them in the first place
He most often gets undeserved credit for being less hawkish than Bidet, when his actions suggested that he just wanted to shift the US’ allegiances first. He took particularly aggressive action against Cuba, reversing improvements in its US legal status, and frankly I think his favored partnership between the US and Russia would have benefitted US interests greatly. It certainly would have slowed the growth of BRICS, and I can’t imagine the US would have lost control of Europe over it
Trump is less evil in two ways. First off he’s just less competent as an imperial administrator. When he tries to do evil shit on the world stage he’s just not very good at it and is more likely to fumble the ball than Biden.
Second, he provokes a leftwing backlash that Biden doesn’t. Trump says no covid protections, Dems get mad, we get half covid protections. Biden says no covid protections, Dems say nothing, republicans say “We should also require spitting into strangers mouths,” and we end up here.
Wether it’s 2 liters of feces or only half a liter of feces, they’re still a bunch of bullshit.
