Am I missing something??
Biden and Harris are rambling on and on about how it's Trumps fault that unemployment is historically high and economy is crashing??
Is the plague his fault too??
How stupid can one be??
You blame or give credit to the one in charge. I gave him credit when the market hit new highs. You don't move the goalposts like the Kool-Aid drinkers.

So the pandemic is Trumps fault??
WWII was FDR's fault??
Civil War was Abe's fault??
How can you fool half a country with this trash??

The problem is you can always make excuses for this or that. You can twist the numbers any way you want.
You need goalposts that don't move. It is the fairest way to do it.
The last administration claims the bull market is just a continuation of what that already put in motion. Is that fair to Trump?

We can argue about whose success is the great economy Pre-Corona but to claim he caused the high unemployment and lack of agreement on the Stimulus bill is beyond ridiculous!

See that is the problem. You see it as ridiculous and the left wing sees it as reality.
Goalposts takes that away from the equation.

Now here is reality. If someone is going to vote their pocketbook the current president is going to get the blame or credit when they look in their pocketbook.

As someone who has often criticized Biden here, I feel that it's only fair for me to say this:

I think Biden made an excellent choice in picking Kamala Harris. I hate her political views, but I think she is a master politician, and that she is a perfect choice for him. I always felt that she is great at connecting to people, and I was very surprised when she dropped out of the race so early.

Reality and Left Wing cannot be in the same sentence. They decide what the reality is based on their agenda of the day

The same can be said for the right wingers, AKA Kool-Aid drinkers.
That is why you need goalposts.

You can't use the same goalposts for Corona times that was used pre Corona.
It's war time and all rules have changed now.

I am confounded that you are surprised, you seem to be well versed in politics.
Harris had no appeal at all, she had single digits approval rating, and dropped out before her own state's primary. It was cringey to watch her during the debates (and post debate interviews) when she Hyena laughed I had to mute the volume. She was crushed in the debates by Gabbard. And comes off as a cynical and manulative authoritarian, who scares me alot more than a senile Biden with Amy Klobuchar as VP ( IMO Amy would have had a much broader appeal.)

During WWII we lost 400k+ soldiers and FDR was our hero.
So many factors involved. You have no way to prove anyone else would do better

When you have an idiot that thinks it is just like the flu or 15 will be 0 I would say anyone with a half a brain could do better.

His statements did not cause the deaths. The state with the most deaths was in NYS where the HERO Cuomo made the worst policies...

He stopped fights from China when the virus was coming from Europe. Over a month later he stopped flights from Europe. That delay cost many lives. You don't want to face facts and I understand that.

His policy of not wearing masks has cost lives. Should I keep going?  >:(
