    I agree that the Biden administration’s policies where not good enough to address the real issues facing working people in the country. They were pulling from the same neoliberal economic playbook that both parties have used and has been shown over and over again to increase inequality instead of decreasing inequality. Biden and Democratic leadership think we are still in the world economic situation of the 1990’s and refuse to believe otherwise.

    However Trump on the other hand doesn’t even have a plan. He was correct in saying “The Economy sucks”, but had no other plan to fix the system besides “Drill Baby Drill” and “Let the Oligarchs decide how the economic system works”. Harris might have been an out of touch elite, oblivious to economic reality. But Trump is pain and destruction incarnate and will only cause more pain and destruction during his tenure.

    The reality is the US Empire is dying and it can either go gracefully or with pain and anger while it takes the rest of the world with it.

      It’s going with pain an anger, but thanks to Trump’s trade wars the rest of the world is finally distancing itself from the USA enough that we might not be dragged down with you.

      That’s the one silver lining to all this: America’s been on a clear path to fascism since GWB at the latest, but now that it’s finally here it’s being managed by an outright moron. Trump’s stupidity will be the one thing that saves the world.
