Years of “quantative easing“ (printing money like there was no tomorrow) finally came home to roost.
We are talking about a pile of money equivalent to 10% of the US GDP created out of thin air.
What should Biden have done differently to prevent it?
Yeah the main problem I have is, with the DNC and the 2024 election. While I actually thought Harris was a pretty good candidate, Biden clearly did not (I even suspect he may have chosen her as VP for that reason). Biden should have put his ego aside, and gone into his term with the assumption he was a one term president and chosen a VP he wanted as a chosen successor, who he thought has the best chance of beating Trump.
Anything?
I don’t know. Acknowledge there was a problem?
Not pretending everything was fine while the whole country suddenly couldn’t afford groceries.
You’re right, the DNC should have acknowledged that there was a problem, and done something, anything, besides pretend everything was fine.
And then they should have communicated effectively about their efforts so Donny couldn’t campaign on a platform built on cheaper groceries. You know? Like a real politician would?
Moderating:
This thread is about the problems and defects of Donald Trump. You are wildly off topic with discussion about Biden’s perceived failings, the DNC, yet again riding your hobby horse about Merrick Garland and quantitative easing.
Drop these sidetrack lines of discussion in this thread immediately. You can start a new thread if you like, in case all those that went before have not sufficed. Raise any of the aforementioned again and risk a thread ban.
Getting back on track: One huge problem with Trump is that the guy himself doesn’t even know what he wants. This is why, for instance, he is always so persuaded by the last person who speaks to him. To paraphrase a quote, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”
Again, that’s a valid argument if the DNC was running against Mitt Romney, John McCain, or one of the Bushes. ANY candidate has to be better than Donald Trump.
The problem is that partisan politics has divided people to the point where they believe a vote for the opposing party is a vote for Hitler and anyone who questions their vote is calling them a Nazi.
My friend who I mentioned has the same rant where “they’re sick of being judged and called Nazis so made the rational decision to vote for DT”. I know them personally and they aren’t Nazis. But they voted for the candidate that real Nazis and other white supremacists vote for who seems to be following the same propaganda and political playbook from 1930s Germany so his party can implement policies that marginalize women, minorities, the LGBQT community and who has implemented policies enabling balaclava-clad goons to engage in what might be considered “ethnic cleansing”.

What he wants is to be “winning” at any given point and be lauded and applauded and admired for it.
Got it
Runner up for second worse. I will give the first spot to Kim Jong un. I mean, please. Trump hasn’t killed millions. Yet.
Next of course is another of T’s friend Vlad. Vlad has a brain though. So i don’t know how that factors in.
No, It’s simply “I can’t vote for a Democrat, what horror!”
Ha, before we moved away from the mountains. We invited a new ‘neighbor’ over to dinner with some other neighbors we where tight with.
This new neighbor went on and on about how horrible woke was and nobody could get a word in edgewise or offer a different opinion.
The new neighbors left first. Our friends, the other neighbors said “What in the HELL was that!” This person was clearly off her rocker. A MAGA off her rocker. The worst type. Only about 45 years old. But WOW.
WTF? Was all I could offer. I’m guessing they don’t get invited to many dinner parties. Or only once.
She needed help. Most MAGAs do.
Obviously he should have created That would have guaranteed reelection.
