No, things aren’t rosy. What happened under trump was a corporate apologist shitshow though.
Lol. Imagine watching Trump during covid and then thinking “exactly what we have right now”. What a trash take.
Oh. I guess your username is accurate! Well!
Much less of one than what happened under Trump. When disaster struck, Trump’s first thought was to bail out big companies over actually helping the people. Infact frequently he put the people dead last. At least Biden has done and tried to do a few things for the common person.
What do you want me to say? The choice was between total shit and kinda shit. That’s what’s wrong with the two party entrenchment
No, it’s not parties that are entrenched, it’s laziness and complacency. America could have a viable third party, the status quo could be shaken. But it would require a bit more drastic measures than just canvassing and making YouTube videos. It would require an election boycott campaign to shake the legitimacy of your democracy (and with two parties that serve the same corporate master, just how legitimate is it in the first place?), it would entail a period of instability with perhaps something even worse than Trump emerging for a while…
But by and large, Americans are comfortable. Despite the economic downturns, despite the drug zombies in the streets, most Americans are not ready for the hardcore sacrifices that are necessary to drastically change a political system.
So you trudge along, always choosing between two piles of shit, carefully weighing which pile is a bit smaller and stinks just a bit less. And you say, this is democracy in action!
Things are honestly pretty fuckin rosy in the greater context of what could have happened
When was this time that gas was under a dollar? You talking about the late 90s?
Lol gas prices are all you care about?
You do realise presidents don’t set those, right?
Isnt Biden the one who pushed for closing gas refinaries? And burning our petrolium reserved? He is not the one changing the number in tbe display so he does not control the price?
Lol
