[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 70 points 2 years ago (3 children) What's unexpected about it? We re-elected a twice impeached anti-democratic felon rapist who utterly failed his last term. Every American who could rub brain cells together warned this would happen. Unfortunately, those people represent a minority in The Divided States of Dumbfuckistan. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] pyre@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 child) sounds like BBC is doing damage control for mango mussolini. the "unexpected" part is that the 3% is above the expected 2.9% rate. they're being coy; the title implies the increase is unexpected while the text shows it's just a tenth of a point above the rate that was expected. the editors are not uneducated people. I bet they speak English pretty well. the wording is deliberately misleading. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Dem clicks doe permalink fedilink source parent [–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago Unfortunately, those people represent a minority in The Divided States of Dumbfuckistan. Or, the people with 2 brain cells to rub together don't call for ballot counting like cheerleaders of the dumbfucks do. Missing that 3rd brain cell... permalink fedilink source parent [–] SamboT@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago How is this different than putting a "biden did this" sticker on a gas pump? Why is inflation related to his term? Its fine if it is but can we please make sense with our outrage? permalink fedilink source parent
