    Joe Biden’s failure to do anything material for the public

    Yeah…he literally put $1400 in your pocket, assuming you’re American, at the beginning of his administration in response to the covid-19 virus.

    American politics is basically one big ol’ recency bias. The most recent events weigh more heavily than a holistic view of the candidate. That’s why George W. Bush can paint fucking puppies and the media that used to disparage him now fawns. It’s also why the 24 hr news cycle is so effective: Americans think being informed means being up-to-date.

      Trump did it twice, plus Biden promised $2000 and walked that back when he was in office.

      Ignoring everything else, Trump pushed for the checks and called on congress to make increases to what was given out. Biden sent out a lower amount than what he promised and then presided over the clusterfuck that was the end of the pandemic.

      I am American. He literally didn’t do that. I’m not going to dox myself any further than I already have on 3 years of hexbear but I was disqualifies from claiming any money out of a thin pretext. I absolutely could have used that money and frankly I deserved it as much as any other American did. $1400 was already a point negotiated down from $2000, and this was in direct response to a century defining global catastrophe

      Americans will not line up out the door out of the polling stations to vote for a guy who, in time of great crisis, did the absolute bare minimum

        But they’ll absolutely line up for a guy that did the most to exacerbate the time of great crisis.

        Americans…gotta love 'em.

        Oh, so they won’t vote for neither Biden nor Trump!? Great time to push a third party into office!

        Lol as opposed to the guy who said to ignore the crisis and the party that said let your grandparents die for the economy. And thought it would hurt blue cities more so he actively made it worse. How does someone even type that out without being a troll and be like “yeah, that’s right!”?

        Edit: oh hexbear, that makes sense hahahaha
