He has no incentive to do better. It’s him or Trump and he knows most democrats have bought into fear politics. He has the vote no matter what. I’m personally voting for neither. And please save your time trying to convince me otherwise.
Good for you for having a reasonable mind in defiance of the system and the countless, unfortunately brainwashed thralls that continue to support it.
A no-vote is a vote against a tyrannous and oppressive system. Every 4 years is a new "emergency, vote for the lesser of two evils!!!" And every 4 years, we descend more rapidly into authoritarianism.
Do not participate in this system created by slavers. Put your energy elsewhere. Can't we do better today? Put your energy into better.
Attention is currency. Around the world, we need to stop giving these tyrants attention. Corporations have record profits yet the prices of food keep increasing, wages stay stagnant, mass layoffs are occurring, and the global temperature keeps increasing. They do not care, because they have hoarded all your attention and power, and they use it to make a nee world for them.
Their "governments" that they make you think are actually yours, serve that machine of their safety. You are in the meat grinder, and they consume the meat.
The grinder is perfectly balanced. Every vote for the side you think is benevolent gets balanced by a vote against it. You will NEVER have an impact on change within the system. The best thing any individual can do is STOP. Opt out of the system. Live closer to nature and form new, self-sufficient communities.
A no-vote is just the beginning of opting out. The PEOPLE have the power, not a slaver-created mechanism they call a "government".
the economy is not great but he has changed the trajectory. it took obama two terms to normalize after bush jr and unfortunately it was not so great that trump did not make it way worse. ironically mostly by not continuing gradual interest rate increases which forced the severe ones now.
Public demand and competition drove prices down. Since Covid reset prices, and stockholders demand growth, companies will continue to price gouge until customers say it's enough.
The problem is where things are getting the most expensive, that being food and housing, the markets are captured. You can't just say no to having food and housing.
Corporate ownership of housing is a major problem that no legislator seems to be handling. The Feds should start building and selling houses to individuals themselves. I believe that is one way to lower housing costs and increasing private ownership.
It's not hard to find examples of products where prices have gone down. Prices for literally all electronic goods have been decreasing for a long time, for example.
Neoliberalized Democrats wouldn't say better. This why people doesn't trust and believe in them anymore. They became neolib like every others and they are chasing the myth of the middle voter.
One result is abstention. The second is people voting for the far right.
Rent is outrageous and getting worse every year.
The dream of owning a home is dead for my generation (xennials) and newer.
Utilities and other basic costs of living have skyrocketed and continue to get worse.
The environment is starting to fall apart and insurance companies are starting to drop people, refuse coverage, and skyrocket rates when it IS available.
Fascists continue to dismantle any and all social safety nets while pushing tax burdens onto lower income households, cutting their own tax responsibilities, and also creating inventive ways to loot public coffers.
Cancelling a little bit of student debt (without ever solving the core problem, btw) isn't "turning around" - it's barely a wiggle on the steering wheel. We're all screwed and nobody is doing anything about it.
