CTC only lasted 1 year

wait no I mean CTC ended under biden

well actually it expires under trump but somehow this is still bidens fault.

Its actually gross how hard you try and undermine the left. Even when you are shown things that directly show ctc existing for more than a year throughout bidens entire term you never reconsider and think oh maybe I was wrong its not the dems who killed this. What would it take for you to blame trump? I bet even if trump used an executive order to remove the CTC you would be there saying "noo biden should have done more. Never vote dems" its almost like you want a right wing government.

When did I say it was only a year?

Never vote dems" its almost like you want a right wing government

Even with dems the usa has a right wing government.

Oh thats my bad, I thought this comment chain was coming off the statement "the child tax credit only lasted one year, and the cost reduction was only for the elderly"

I guess your argument is that the policy was right wing because it didnt do enough. Is that correct?

My point is that dems are left wing because they try and push the country left.

The extra $300 per month would be a better argument if they tried to keep it going instead of letting it lapse...

They used to run on being left then only doing extremely watered down policies.

My point is that dems are left wing because they try and push the country left.

In 2024 they ran on more war, higher funding to the military, and implementing gop immigration policy. Again after seeing how popular left wing policies were in the polls.

But yeah they're totally working hard to push the country left
