      People clicked this thread for the topic of this issue. So, he’s making a point about this one issue. Don’t see any statements claiming Trump has a level head on anything else.

      Both candidates were bad on a lot of issues, but I’m glad you jumped to a conclusion that I never stated to prove my point so quickly.

      Well, one candidate was bad on their economic policies. Starting off with “The economy is doing fabulously, so you poor people just need to shut up, and vote for me because you owe me your vote” policy…

        Voting for the guy who campaigned on taking actions that would very obviously make it even worse for the poor people, over the guy who tried many things to further help poor people but was blocked by the opposing party in Congress, was a real big brain move of yours.

          Jokes on you, I gritted my teeth, and voted for Harris. I just didn’t aid her campaign, and chose to 100% work on a local socialists’ campaign.

            I’m glad you saw the importance of working locally. Too many third party wishers think they can jump immediately to the presidency

              Given how concerned you are with 3rd party voters, surly you’re working towards replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state.

              The election is over, now is the time to make the changes we need so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.

              So, which is it? Do you support democracy or do you get off screeching at disenfranchised voters to vote for your blue conservatives?

        Yeah… how silly to base the economy doing well on data and facts. My gut tells me it’s bad.

        If the whole world is doing badly economically, but we’re doing much LESS badly, then the economy is fine. What’s NOT good is education, which is why people aren’t smart enough to see this.

          Oh, data you’re interested in?

          Ok, how about the data point that says homelessness is skyrocketing? Does that mean economy good, just because stonk line goes up?

          If the whole world is doing badly economically, but we’re doing much LESS badly, then the economy is fine

          Less bad is not at all the same thing as “doing great”.

          What’s NOT good is education, which is why people aren’t smart enough to see this.

          Yes, people are not smart enough to see if you have mass homelessness, mass food insecurity, and people considering copycatting a CEO killer… The economy is doing great!
