Oh evil dems, why won't you fix 100% of america overnight?

You know why? Because every time a dem is elected they have to prioritize PULLING THE FUCKING COUNTRY OUT OF THE ECONOMIC DITCH THE PAST ADMINISTRATION HAS LEFT US IN. Are you 12?

Even a child should still remember the economic shithouse Trump left us in.

You don't remember 2008 when the economy was fucked and Obama had to restore trust in entire segments of the economy?

Apparently you're not a fan of history, you'd know it's hardly an isolated event - Clinton fixing up the fuckups of Bush, FDR literally rebuilding the economy?

How is it that you're so very vociferous about Drug reform and so very ignorant about everything else? Yeah, it's important, but it's on a list of other MUCH MORE IMPORTANT priorities, and also, it's the conservatives fighting it.

So tired of idiots acting like the dems have to fix everything every damned time they take power - how about conservatives not fucking up the nation for a few terms for a change?

Conservatives managed to blame Bush's economic disaster on Bill Clinton (for signing a deregulation bill sponsored and presented by 3 prominent Republicans) and Obama. Their line with Obama was "well he's president now, it's his responsibility!!" and accused him of tanking the economy, as if it makes ANY sense. Meanwhile you have Trump saying "I don't take accountability for anything" and the same people think he's great. Trump claimed the economy under him was a 'disaster' because of Obama, nothing to do with Trump, yet also recently tried to take credit for low unemployment and rising wages under Biden. Massive inflation caused by Trump's policies goes uncommented upon, of course. Or in conservative world, same shit as Obama - "the BIDEN economy!!". Republicans manage to take credit for anything positive and blame anything negative on Democrats even when it has nothing to do with facts, logic or reality. A real "heads I win tails you lose" line of bullshit. It's a trait of narcissism.

well put! we need to switch the narrative on this - price gouging and billionaires becoming massively richer are happening thanks to republican policy, we need to make them own it.
