And Trump is leading in the polls.
He'll sure make things better.
Fucking America... he'll crash the economy even harder than last time when he declares himself dictator "for a day" and then that day keeps on adding days. This election shouldn't even be close.
It just blows my mind daily that the insurrectionist moron has a legit chance to be elected. And he doesn't even qualify under the 14th. I shouldn't be surprised. I mean everything from "immigrants are rapists and murderers" and "grab them by their pussy" till whatever bullshit lies he spouted today. Really, really makes me question democracy. Not that I know of an alternative, but this shit isn't working.
Have a look at any democratic system that is not the american two-party system.
And Trump is leading in the polls.
I was actually looking at some polls recently, and that was the area in which he scored the most-strongly versus Biden, on the economy.
In general, Americans tend to ascribe a lot of credit or blame to a president for whatever happens with the economy, regardless of whether the president has much to do with it or whether another president would likely do something different. That's a long-running phenomenon, predates the present era.
I also posted another, older poll -- IIRC this one covering Americans, Germans, and Brazillians -- that showed that the public profoundly dislikes inflation. In particular, when asked in that poll, the public would rather have a recession than see high inflation, though normally consensus among economists as to which is more of a concern is the opposite.
Economic theorists haven't exactly been a friend to the working class
