@freethinkinmelanin6795 So you can't name a single thing? Just proved their point.

@mariannajones8149 The USA is, in fact, a Constitutional Republic with democratically elected representation. A Republic is a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch. It is defined by separation of powers. Tocqueville rightly defined democracy as the tyranny of the majority.

@mgman6000 Between 2020 and 2024, Gas prices increased from $2.57 per gallon to $3.60. Housing and transportation have the worst inflation of any category with 22% and 35%, respectively. Median wage increase is only 12%. Tell me you don't pay your own bills without telling me.

@jatodd3746 Macrotrends, DOW Jones, sort by president. It increased 54% under Trump, so far only 35% under Biden. S&P 500 grew 64% under Trump, 45% under Biden.

@hanzbrixx Yup, she would've let it happen too. Pretty sure the Supreme Court had to intervene.

@ld3511 Christian what now? Hello conspiracy theorist, I am a real person. It's nice to meet you. Glad that you could make it out of your echo chamber today.

@TerryBrown-gc7qr Rich tax breaks? There's an article you may be interested in, titled "IRS data proves Trump tax cuts benefited middle, working-class Americans most"

@TerryBrown-gc7qr Also, current controversy includes Trump seeking to eliminate personal income tax. You do know the difference between personal and corporate?

@gailsheffield5535 There were 68 people, with more camera staff than attendants.

@Blueleaf11 I'll put it another way. A single company owns most private prisons in the country. They don't fund Republicans because they don't profit from the public prison system.

@thomasschellenberg3962 Being regulated? What? 2020 was 1.23%. It's been about 5% for the last 4 years, resulting in about 20% across the board. 35% for housing. It's unprecedented, as is the deficit.
2
@thomasschellenberg3962 You're mistaken. This is according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. This means that today's prices are 1.21 times as high as average prices since 2020. A dollar today only buys 82.645% of what it could buy back then.
2
@thomasschellenberg3962 Not too bad? Tell me you don't pay your own bills without telling me... Do the math. A person making $100k needed a $5k pay raise every year just to maintain the same standard of living, and that's before considering the goods which rose far above 21.39%. Should it be getting even worse? Prices are already broken. American owned credit card debt is now over $1.25 trillion. The number of those with carried annual debt has more than doubled.

@jatodd3746 No offense but you can speculate all day as to causality. It doesn't change the facts. This is Bidenomics at work.
2
@mariannajones8149 You're confused. He's against Trump. But good point on the insults, as it's clear to see that the majority are not coming from Trump supporters.

@TerryBrown-gc7qr Are you kidding? Do you know why the Republican party was even formed? Tell me you've never read a history book without telling me.
1
@TerryBrown-gc7qr Once you do a bit of reading, don't even bother coming back with that "but the parties switched" nonsense. The Republican Party was and remains to be the Populist Party. Nancy Pelosi is on video stating her opinion that "populism is dangerous".

@TerryBrown-gc7qr Tell me, why was the Republican party formed?

@ileanageorge9185 CoreCivic, Corrections Corporation of America, owners of most private prisons, whose campaign did they fund? 94 crime bill, mandatory minimum sentencing for nonviolent crimes, who signed it? Profit and prison population since 94?

16 states now have no ID requirement while voting and use "signature matching". Anti-ID agenda is only pushed by Dems. Polls like the Monmouth poll show that Democrats are far less in favor of ID requirement to vote at 67%, where independents are 87% in favor.
1
@Blueleaf11 A border security bill, from Dems? Are you high? Ever heard of CoreCivic?
1
@Blueleaf11 It's amazing that people can hear "follow the money" for their entire life, but they never bother to take a look. What did they want? Increased funding to private facilities? Shocker. Ever hear of the 94 crime bill? Do you know who owns most private prisons?
1
@Blueleaf11 She's Biden's VP. Take a guess at who signed the bill and who was funded by them?

@thomasschellenberg3962 Between 2020 and 2024, Gas prices increased from $2.57 per gallon to $3.60, Bread from $1.35 per loaf to $1.97, Milk from $2.96 per gallon to $3.87, Eggs from $1.46 per carton to $2.71, Chicken from $1.41 per per 1 lb to $2.01, Electricity from $0.13 per KwH to $0.18.

@thomasschellenberg3962 The dollar had an average inflation rate of 4.97% per year between 2020 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 21.39%. This means that today's prices are 1.21 times as high as average prices since 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 82.645% of what it could buy back then. The inflation rate in 2020 was 1.23%.

@jatodd3746 Look at gas prices over time, pre-pandemic included. This inflation is unprecedented in speed and the deficit to GDP ratio of the last 2 years has only ever been higher during the great depression.

@jatodd3746 Our transport and housing crisis are not global, as oil is. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are ran by the government.

@mgman6000 You cannot compare todays' economy with cherry picked numbers from an economy of half a century prior. That's not reality.
1
@mgman6000 Cherry picking a specific statistic from half a century ago isn't relevant. We aren't discussing a single spike in a single year either. Between 2020 and 2024, Gas prices increased from $2.57 per gallon to $3.60, Bread from $1.35 per loaf to $1.97, Milk from $2.96 per gallon to $3.87, Eggs from $1.46 per carton to $2.71, Chicken from $1.41 per 1 lb to $2.01, Electricity from $0.13 per KwH to $0.18. Housing is up at least 22%, transportation 35%. Median wage increase over the same time is only 12%.
1
@mgman6000 American families' credit card debt has reached $1.25 trillion, up more than 12% from last year, as people struggle to pay their bills and feed their families under the weight of inflation. Then there's more than $1.6t in student loan debt. Mortgage debt has increased from $16t to over $21t.

@jatodd3746 The Biden administration has been host to the greatest increase in public deficit to GDP ratio since The Great Depression.

@mariannajones8149 You are gravely mistaken. The USA is not a Democracy.

@ivictus2004 You're kidding, right? Remember the crisis relief bill that was delayed for TWO WEEKS because the Democrats were trying to shove green energy policies and airline takeovers into it under everybody's noses? You're delusional.
