The economy wasn’t “doing fine” for more than half the population.

Actually yes it was, there was inflation after covid, but that was steadily getting better.
Criticizing the ones that do better is not constructive, that just makes you sound like a fanatic MAGA Trump supporter.
Obviously things are way worse under Trump, and you have to buy only 2 dolls now! If you can't see how that moron is malignant IDK what to tell.

If you want more left wing politicians to succeed, the only option at elections right now is to support democrats, and push for more left wing candidates.

It's extremely tiresome to hear the constant whining about how Biden wasn't good enough, when he obviously was the better option at the time. Don't blame Biden, blame the ignorant people who voted against their own interests to hurt others, like immigrants, lgbt, colored people and pregnant women. What they forget is that they become victims too, because Trump is also going after the poor and working class.

You are either working for Putin, or you are working against your own interests with posts like the response you made to the fact that Biden delivered a very healthy economy to Trump.

You don't seem to understand that inflation didn't reverse...it just slowed back down to normal levels. Anything new who didn't get raises equivalent to that inflation, now effectively earns less than they did three years ago. And inflation is still rising, just not as fast.

You have to catch up with those excessive rates in order to have the same level of purchasing power as you did before they went up.

The fact that you're accusing me of "working for Putin" just for pointing out basic economics, is really bizarre. I'm curious to know why you think those things are related.
