under biden despite that failure. both can be true.

btw, you ever talk with someone and you disagree on a point or two? does that make your entire conversation a failure? or does it just mean you disagree on a point or two? biden's term is far from perfect. the genocide continues, and the dems as a party failed us there. yet progress continued ...

construction and operation of these new manufacturing facilities already created a substantial number of jobs, including in construction and local services. the inflation reduction act also provided tax credits (carrots, not sticks) to incentivise clean energy manufacturing her in the us.

significant foreign investment returning to the us in large part due to the CHIPS act, bringing a much needed infusion to a lagging domestic semiconductor manufacturing sector that had been in decline for years (and doing it without nationalising intel, btw).

not stepping aside was a failure, but that does not make his term a failure: by 'still hurting', i think you mean, 'still recovering', from trump and from covid. considering the circumstances, leaving office with inflation under control, rising gdp (until trump tanked that trajectory), and ...

biden also brought investment into the united states without tariffs. look it up, buttercup. and while you're at it, look up how many jobs john deere just cut because a) the tariffs are directly affecting them, and b) the tariffs are directly affecting their customers. imagine that!

actually, we're bleeding manufacturing jobs and the only sector holding us up is healthcare ... by a thread. biden overstimulated the economy, causing high inflation which the fed now has under control, the first time this has happened WITHOUT a recession in modern history, and then trump goes 💥

which is why it is brilliant: it is making fun of bad taste, not endorsing it. as for the bad faith, howso? by not kowtowing to the 'norm' as norms are blown apart left and right by the fascists? that's how one wakes up naked, by virtue signaling while being stripped of these very virtues.

and how is this hypocritical? it's only hypocritical if you don't understand satire and take this literally. you do understand it is the former, yeah?

didn't we lose last time? what's your winning formula? whining about tactics without offering a solution? kinda the american way, i guess ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

no, stuff like this is definitely not why dems lose. sitting back and fighting fire with powerpoint presentation is why dems lose. they haven't done this shit. ever. i'll let you in on the joke: newsom doesn't believe he's a king. he's trolling trump. and we should all be here for it. i am.

his most cultish followers do. a cult will follow their leader off a cliff, even if that cliff is democracy. but, if a scission forms within the cult, that can save democracy. i don't care how it happens. epstein. fat ankles. talking policy, tho? them's dems pipedreams.

Shallow State (on Blue Sky): "Those aren't instincts, JD. Those are cravings borne of personality disorders."
