I laugh at these embedded fact-checking mechanisms liberals assumed would stop Trump and Q-anon in their tracks, being used to undermine Biden. Must suck to suck.

    Stop trying to make “Bidenomics” a thing, it’s never going to be a thing

    At least Abenomics rolled off the tongue. Please respect the aerodynamics of my tongue liberals.

    Idk what you mean insisting to the 2/3rds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck that the economy is great and if you dont agree you're a Trump supporter seems like a really great electoral strategy.

    Pretending to give a shit about the economy worked for the Republicans for decades. I honestly think enthusiastically insisting that everything is fine and it's all in your head is a smart strategy for the Dems.

    linking a post to reddit where it is screenshoted from Twitter where someone added context to it from another website to contest the claim. pretty much making it impossible to find the source. perfectly sound to draw the conclusion.

    it's not hard to find the sources, it's an incredibly prominent BLS measurement.

    They are correct, march 2020 to now there has been a slight decrease in real average wages (which isn't even the best measure tbh but it's what biden used). Sure, if you go back earlier, to the months before the pandemic, then it's a slight increase, but not by a whole lot.

    More to the point: Biden, in my opinion, implies a sort of economic recovery, as though the pandemic tanked wages and now his policies are have brought them through to recovery. That is not the case. Here's what the graph looks like:

    we are back where we started, essentially. nothing has fundamentally changed.
