It’s Trump’s fault. /s

Which is worse - 81 million voting for a basement dweller or a 36% approval rating (the worse ever for a sitting president)?

His basement strategy isn't going too well this time around.
Or, maybe it is and his rating would actually be lower if not for the basement strategy.

Be realistic.

Last time, we were in covid so he could hide. That won't happen again.

Any contender will take Biden apart. I'm not saying they'll necessarily vote against him. They'll just stay home.

Many dems are tiring of wokeness and the flubs.

Bit late. It is already in chaos.

Biden isn't a unifier. Then again, neither was Turnip. I view them as equally abhorrent and divisive, both reeking of hatred and contempt for people who didn't vote for them.

Someone different who can reach out across aisles in meaningful ways is what we need. Why can't we elect a new, younger Bill Clinton?

How you gonna paint Biden in same light as Trump and wish for new Bill Clinton in same breath? LOL!

Oh how come you don’t hate Clinton for nafta and strengthen China and sending all jobs abroad and letting Al queda rise? Please…..

Face it, you want a young red state guy you think is sexy. Bye Felicia, LOL!

And hopefully Dems have someone in mind (not Harris) they can get behind. This could all be imaginary wishful thinking on my part.

Honestly, I am hoping the same. He is such a depressing choice. We need someone vigorous! Sharp, energetic, charismatic, smart. Like another Obama or Clinton. Sigh…

A Vote for Joe is a vote to give US workers the middle finger.

And this shows how pro-migration the Biden administration is. A U.S. reader, one of the American high-tech types injured by the HXXB program, follows the Indian press and sent me a link to a recent news item in the Economic Times, which said: “The new US Consulate in Hyderabad is now the biggest Consulate in South Asia [it covers 12 acres] with 54 [visa] windows as against 16 in the Paigah Palace earlier. It will process 3,500 visa applications.”

That’s a huge increase, from 16 to 54. Although the last line of the quotation does not say so, let’s assume that the 3,500 visa applications is for a day. If that is the case, then each window would handle just under 65 applications a day, or eight an hour, or one every 7.5 minutes.

cant afford to help US low wage workers but can afford to increase visa processing for Indian HXXB entry level workers.

Literally every credible empirical analysis finds that immigrants - both legal and illegal - do not suppress native-born wages, and, in many instances, increase native-born wages.

forget Econ 101, this college graduate is pointing out that 1 plus 2 equals 5. physics need not apply. add more workers to the supply of workers cause wages to rise. simply magical in the land of Biden followers

I consider labor shortages wonderful. I have never known anything bad to come from a labor shortage, and what we are doing with our immigration policy is keeping the labor market in constant surplus.

The underlying truth about the immigration battle is that is is fundamentally between those with an insatiable appetite for more cheap, disposable, foreign workers, and those who embrace the social good of tight labor markets.

factually wrong

our policies continue to screw low wage African Americans.  and we have known this for decades.

people need good jobs to thrive in our capitalism

The 1980-2000 immigrant influx, therefore, generally 'explains' about 20 to 60 percent of the decline in wages, 25 percent of the decline in employment, and about 10 percent of the rise in incarceration rates among blacks with a high school education or less

Almost everybody knows that in the past 40 years, the real wages and job prospects for low-skilled men, especially low-skilled minority workers, have fallen. And there is evidence, that a rising tide of immigration is  to blame. Now, a new NBER study suggests that immigration has more far-reaching consequences than merely depressing wages and lowering employment rates of low-skilled African-American males: its effects also appear to push some would-be workers into crime and, later, into prison.

When the supply of workers goes up, the price that firms have to pay to hire workers goes down. Wage trends over the past half-century suggest that a 10 percent increase in the number of workers with a particular set of skills probably lowers the wage of that group by at least 3 percent.

Immigration redistributes wealth from those who compete with immigrants to those who use immigrants—from the employee to the employer.
