I’ve often assumed Harris didn’t want to insult her boss by going against him, because I got the impression she was planning to give Netanyahu what for once she took over - especially with him escalating things further and further. Did anyone else get that vibe, or was it just wishful thinking on my part?

    Trump was in power at the start of the Pandemic and is widely held to have made things worse at the time. Whatever you think of Biden’s handling of Covid related issues since then, anyone that thinks that Trump was better or will be better is a fucking moron.

      And since it’s a global phenomenon then people everywhere must be fucking morons.

      Glad we can agree on that.

        Yes a great deal of people are morons. Not most, but a fair deal more than 25 percent. The swing to the right is a global phenomenon because the pandemic and its recovery is a global phenomenon. The fact that the entire world struggles after Covid means you should understand that there is NO WAY to have made it all good immediately, else SOMEONE would have done it. But you can compare how well administrations handled it in part by how quickly they have and are recovering in comparison to other countries The US had recovered very well under Biden, which is why we are doing among the best economically among all nations now. But you and other void skulls are under the impression that if it wasn’t perfect or we aren’t completely back to normal after less than 4 years, the administration failed and should be kicked out even when we have done better than nearly everyone. You lot want to have the reins given back to the guy who already demonstrated he could not do the job competently even when he had a decent staff of intelligent and experienced people behind him. Now we are going to let him fuck it all up with a new band of neo nazi sycophants because your eggs and gas WERE expensive, are now LESS expensive, but aren’t YET less expensive enough fast enough. Remind me to collect your thoughts on the economy (and health, polution, international trade and relations, war, etc.) in 4 years.

          You lot

          Don’t lump me in with them. I voted for Kamala even though I hate this economy and knew she was going to be more of the same.

          Don’t think that me pointing out that the economy sucks for most people and that’s why people didn’t bother to vote means I agree with them.
