[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what I voted for.

How do you explain such poor approval ratings for the democrats? [/quote]

A mix of many reasons.

50% the monetary policies that started under Trump 45 to ward off Covid-induced recession. It was known  in 2020 the cost of avoiding a long, steep recession then would be major inflation years later. Remember there were worries in 2020 Covid could trigger the next Great Depression.

10% DEI reaching a fever pitch following Floyd’s murder.

10% The Taliban retaking Afghanistan practically overnight, wasting nearly two decades of war, following Trump 45 negotiating directly with the Taliban without the Afghan government a year before. That’s actually when Biden’s job approval turned negative and never recovered.

10% Russia invading Ukraine, which Putin knew would give Trump fans more to complain about 2 years later.

10% the war in Gaza, which simultaneously made Dems look too soft on Israel for its destruction of an entire civilian population’s home and too sympathetic of Hamas for criticizing Israel at all.

10% Biden not making way for a younger Dem candidate!

It's mostly the economy.  You can tell yourself as a cope that the reasons why were Trump, but the Biden administration kept gaslighting everyone that the economy was great, when many people clearly felt otherwise.  The problem with both parties is that they think winning an election is a mandate to move forward with some big agenda, but for most Americans it isn't.  They get sick of distracting issues and vote in the other party for relief.  I have no hope the Republicans will learn from this reality, and not much more Democrats will, but some hope is better than whatever this shit is.  [/quote]

Compared to the rest of the world, the economy was great. Those liberal rags "the economist" and "the wall street journal" even said so. Instead, voters listened to Trump's lies and bluster and if they thought the economy was bad under Biden (despite record GDP growth and record unemployment) they ain't seen nothing yet. We are about to embark on a sustained period of empty shelves, unemployment and basically a general economic depression that is completely man made by Trump and not external forces like Covid.[/quote]
