The networks don't want to cover it. yeah - the admin is talking all the time - but it doesn't cut through the noise. If it doesn't bleed it don't lead and good news is boring. The GOP has captive media, the left has media dedicated to false equivalency to protect their journalistic virginity. Edited May 22, 2024 by gehringer_2 Quote

Tigerbomb13 Posted May 22, 2024 Posted May 22, 2024 No surprise at all. It was just a matter of time before she kissed the ring. Pathetic, but predictable. Quote

I imagine the other aspect is that you have a big slice of people - our so-called low information folks ----but let me amend that - maybe not low information per se but low quality of information. They watch their local TV station's half hour happy talk at 6, or hang out on social media without ever actually going to primary sources like 'real' MSM. Quote
LaceyLou Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 I have a couple of MAGA relatives telling me to stop worrying about my 'feelings' and vote for the 'better economy.' On the average, is this why many of us prefer Biden over Trump? Do they really think it's because our feelings are hurt? I'm curious about what the rest of you are seeing. Quote

Trump just isn't fit to serve. I don't necessarily with everyone about Biden. But given the choice between the two, its a no brainer. 1 1 Quote

But given the choice between the two, its a no brainer. Definitely. For me, Biden and I differ on quite a few things-still closer to my views than a 'sane' version of Drumpf would be tbh. That Biden's not a megalomaniac makes the choice even easier. Quote
Edman85 Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 How much of 2022 inflation was just pent up and delayed by COVID... That is to say, if the world didn't grind to a halt in 2020, would there have been extreme inflation from the Trump policies that year? Food for thought... 1 Quote

LaceyLou Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 Yes, I keep on seeing posts with differences in prices from Jan 2020 and today... shouldn't the comparison also include/take into consideration COVID? Asking for a friend. Quote

Motown Bombers Posted May 23, 2024 Posted May 23, 2024 One thing we will see from the Biden presidency is that accomplishments mean nothing. Biden is the most accomplished president since at least Johnson and people act like picking Biden is the lesser of two evils. 2 Quote

As long as the Fed continues to place massive currency orders (Trump and Biden) inflation will continue. Edited May 23, 2024 by Tigeraholic1 Quote
