I am referring to the points raised by those who gave Biden low ratings, and that adds to the title thread! Why are you attacking me for sharing that article?
All I’m asking is, in what way are those points questionable? According to the Newsweek article, more feel that the country is not “on the right track” as seen in the Afghan withdrawal, but the article also points out that the delta variant is not Biden’s fault. That leaves us with supply chain issues, higher gas prices, unemployment, increased immigration, and issues concerning the immigration bills. And the same “tabloid” article links to the ff. to explain them:
Now, apparently, these issues have been waived away because they have been “debunked” even though they’re on-going because they were reported by what are now considered tabloids!
So, how did that happen? Why are several members of this forum now acting like the very politician they despise, i.e., Trump? Suddenly, these are now merely perceptions and probably even fake news?
I wouldn’t know. What I do know is that I now have to explain what is now considered a “tabloid” article because it happens to criticize Biden, which the same participants–for some reason–do not realize is the very point of this thread.
Now, the responses I’ve received so far are personal attacks, profanities, claims that Newsweek is now a tabloid (what’s next: that it only issues fake news, too?), and that on-going issues have for some reason now been debunked, which means “perceptions” from a majority of people polled are all wrong.
So @ralfy ya just gonna ignore Gyrate’s post or what?
There is a tendency to blame anything wrong on the people in charge, even if they have nothing to do with it.
Stub your toe? Let’s go Brandon!
Pretty much all of what you “cited” from newsweek are things that are not within the control of the administration.
Now, if you would like to transition to a command economy, where the executive branch dictates what private industry produces, what consumers purchase, where and in what industry people work, and fixes prices and wages, then you would have a reason to complain about these things.
Uh-huh.
Show me in the “gas prices” article where it “happens to criticize Biden” (unless you’re giving Biden the credit for the rapid economic growth that’s partly responsible for it).
And your unemployment article literally says that “the number of available jobs are at near-record levels”. Oh no! How terrible!
Your supply chain article talks about how the Biden administration is working to fix the supply chain issue, not that it was responsible for it.
In fact none of your Newsweek articles “happen to criticize Biden” and most of them are actually positive for him. Did you even read any of them? And who called Newsweek a tabloid besides you?
Or could you not stop yourself from lying again?
No, because I think he still has hope. The problem is that he thinks every critical view of Biden is “Everything bad is Biden’s fault, and everything Biden does is bad,” but the same Newsweek article did point out that the delta variant definitely isn’t his fault. In addition, I think his plans for taxing the rich is more than welcome, but that only covers a trillion dollars; the other two will have to come from other sources, probably corporate tax and buybacks.
What’s the problem, then? I get this sinking feeling that he will play the same neolib-neocon game, i.e., the bill will target the working rich, while the infra bill will involve funds that will be diluted across too many projects. As for warmongering, CNN has some news about that concerning possible attacks on Afghanistan via Pakistan.
Well . . . that’s one way to deal with being wrong I guess…
Damn, that is funny.
So what you’re saying it that you concede that your lies have been debunked, but here’s some unsubstantiated smear instead. Got it.
Do they? Well, I look forward to your citation of it. Perhaps you’ll even read it this time.
I’m just curious, and this may come out of left field. But speaking of baseball, are you a Yankees fan at all?
Well, who else should they blame? That’s been going for decades. In which case, Biden has his work cut out for him. But here’s the hard part:
How do you reverse decades of neoliberalism and neoconservatism while retaining current consumer spending levels given high levels of borrowing and spending from '82 onward because of the dollar used as a global reserve currency? What should be expected when it comes to taxing the super-rich, with the latter lobbying and funding both parties? Is it possible that complaints about vaccine mandates, wearing masks, and even lockdowns might involve more than just Trump supporters, especially given his decreasing ratings, and as another “tabloid” article points out, losses even in places where he previously led?
Now, this will probably be dismissed (again) as fake news and more futile attempts by me (who else?) to insist that everything Biden does is bad. Such forum members operate through brutal binaries: either one or another, with nothing in between. Good grief.
Apparently not.
Step 1: Ask people to specifically answer a multitude of hastily thrown out points.
Step 2: People spend time to itemize a considered response to all the points.
Step 3: Ignore the response.
Step 4: You’ve won the argument by successfully wasting the other person’s time.
Hmm, I think there might be a word for that…
Lying again, I see.
Just to recap: you’ve made multiple false claims, you’ve falsely attributed views to others they didn’t express, you’ve misrepresented your own citations, and when called on it you just move on to new nonsense…but it’s everyone else’s fault for being so mean to you.
Have you considered not lying?
So, you do blame Biden when you stub your toe?
How about taking some level of personal responsibility for once, and not finding someone else to blame for your failings?
You’ve got a point, it’s hard to clean up after the mess that Republicans leave behind, especially when they fight tooth and nail to prevent you from doing so.
That the people then turn around and blame Democrats is a measure of ignorance that should be fought, not promoted.
To tax them. It is not Biden that is preventing taxes from being raised on the wealthy. It was not Biden that lowered the taxes on the wealthy. If you are looking for someone to blame, how about actually blaming those who want to even further decrease taxes on the wealthy, as opposed to those who would like to increase them?
Yeah, there’s probably a small percentage of anti-vax, anti-mask on the left, unfortunately. But the left doesn’t cater to and coddle them, which is why the overwhelming vast majority of those who have taken the side of the virus against that of their fellow human beings and citizens are conservatives and Trump supporters.
The best medical science in the world says that vaccines and masks are the way to get us through and past this epidemic, not Biden. People are not disagreeing with Biden when they refuse to follow the most basic of public safety measures, they are disagreeing with reality.
No, the articles you cite are not fake news. Your attempts at analyzing and summarizing them, OTOH, are facile and ignorant. It’s not your insistence that everything that Biden does is bad, it’s your institance that everything bad is Biden’s fault that is being pointed out as fallacious logic.
But, since you don’t want to be thought of as someone who insist that everything that Biden does is bad, can you give an example of something that Biden did that you think was good?
Over here and scroll down a couple.
See, that’s a properly cited response to a question.
Did you read the cite from squeegee above? the majority of the country has felt that the country is “not on the right track” since 2009 for God’s sake. This is not a new feeling that Biden has created.
Things are happening, president gets blamed. This is not a new or different thing. You are basically telling us that you have discovered that the ocean is damp.
