    republicans have repealed many of the rights of Americans; here is how this is bad for Biden in ‘24

    Jesus fucking christ

    This piece of shit goddamn article even spells it out

    The Biden administration and Democratic allies in Congress are fighting to restore some of the lapsed benefits when lawmakers take up the 2024 spending bills early next year. But at best it will be a partial reprieve — the student loan payment moratorium, for example, is gone for good.

    The collective impact: a cascading set of new financial burdens that are disproportionately affecting women, young people and people of color — a core part of the Democratic electorate. Coming on top of stubbornly high inflation, they risk further undermining the president’s pitch that he’s rebuilding the economy “from the middle up and the bottom out,” particularly among voters he needs to turn out in November.

    Oh okay, so it’s simply the dem’s fault that the other half of the goddamn Congress is at on sucking putins dick, and pushing for white Christian nationalism. Biden hasn’t been able to get every win he wanted because gerrymandered red states will only elect kleptocratic fascists that cause chaos wherever possible. THAT WILL STOP ANYONE, it’s NOT about Biden.

    Goddamn this fucking bullshit is insane, these fucking media cunts are owned by billies and they sure don’t want more unionization or to be forced to pay their fair share of taxes. Of course they’re gonna throw shade on Ds on any and every possibility.

    This is all ANYONE needs to know on this bullshit: Billionaires are lining up to fund Donald Trump’s anti-democratic agenda

      But many Americans are…not smart. Actually most Americans, idc.

      American reasoning is basically the president controls everything. If their life is bad, then it’s the Democrat president’s fault. If it’s good, then it’s the Republican president’s gift.

      The idea of tax cuts sunsetting during Democratic administrations doesn’t really occur to us.

        The people who want to argue “R=good, D=bad” also manage to stack it so they win every time.

        If something bad happens during a Republican admin, it’s because the Democrats did something last time, and if something bad happens during a Democratic admin, it’s the Democrat’s fault.

        If something good happens during a Democratic admin, it’s because of something Republicans did. If something good happens during a Republicans admin, it’s also because of something Republicans did.

        While meanwhile Trump said “I take responsibility for nothing.” and as soon as Biden was in they said “he owns it now, can’t blame it on Trump!”.

        How people feel about the economy in the three months leading up to the election is still the largest indicator of whether the incumbent will win or not.

        That’s what makes me nervous every time congress punts on the budget. Republicans will be happy to tank the economy and hope that people blame Biden for it.

        Before mid terms when the republicans got the senate the dems could have extended these benefits or made them into law. They are too spineless to take on Manchin or Sinema so they are fucked now. What’s the point?
