Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I just still don't understand why the stupid mythology of "Republicans gud at 'conomy" continues to persist. It was stupid pre-Taco; it's positively delusional after his first term.
Same goes for the dumb mythology of running the government like a business and putting a "businessman" in charge, LOL. Not that Pedonald really counts as a businessman, as low as a bar as that truly is....
The myth stands because the economy usually takes 2 to 4 years to catch up after major political changes.
That was apparent under Biden as well as Obama. Hell, Obama inherited the whole 2007-2008 crash, and pulled the US out of it like no other county managed. Compared to W who literally got the singular most nation-uniting event dropped on his lap, and fucked it up so much that the US suffered the most from the dot-com crash...
Donnie inherited Obama's good economy and within two years there were clear signs of him fucking shit up so bad... But people blamed Biden for it, because he inherited most of the shit, and only in the last year of his presidency did things begin to visibly improve.
And don't forget, most people are morons and incredibly easy to mislead. Just how many denounce Biden's response to COVID when it was the orange shitsack who was President for most of it? And that's only been 5 years ago. You seriously expect the same idiots to remember the past 20-30-40 years? Or have enough reasoning skills to look at collated data going back a hundred years showing how policies affected the economy (specifically the economy the average people experiencing, not talking about the Fortune 500 doing well or some other crap metric)?
They would have to first stop watching the media they have chosen. They are too far gone.
