Both the president and his reelection campaign are going after his coup-attempting predecessor even before the first GOP primary ballots are cast.
A full year out from the 2024 presidential election and nearly two months before Republicans cast their first primary ballots, President Joe Biden and his campaign are assuming that Donald Trump will be his opponent and have already started reminding voters why they threw him out of office in the first place.
Biden personally has stepped up criticism of his coup-attempting predecessor and is framing the likely rematch as one that will determine the survival of American democracy.
“The same man who said we should terminate the rules and regulations and articles of the Constitution — these are things he said — is now running on a plan to end democracy as we know it,” he said last week at a fundraiser in Chicago.
“This next election is different. It’s more important. There’s more at stake. And we all know why: Because our very democracy is at stake,” he told a San Francisco audience on Wednesday.
Sayeth the brocislists: “But Biden Same!”
Wealth inequality increases the same whether Democrats or Republicans are in office.
And minorities and women’s rights disappear entirely if Republicans are in office. There’s a bigger picture here.
Getting tired of this obnoxious centrism that “both are the same!” when they’re clearly not. That being said, Biden is still the lesser of two evils and one that people can still live with.
By what metrics‽ Democratic admins consistently have been responsible for job growth (and good paying jobs too), the launching of redistributive programs, and at the very least protecting welfare programs that america’s poor rely on.
Even the man who tried to neoliberalism the democrats into oblivion, Clinton, still put his back into an honest hard fought attempt to expand medicare and medicaid, if not completely socialize american healthcare.
If you think shit’s equally bad under both parties, you don’t have a point worth considering, you’re just far up enough your own privilege that you can’t see the differences that can be as serious as life and death for everyone else.
The gini index. Clinton is a big reason for this. He passed trade deals like NAFTA that screwed American workers and made wealthy business owners even richer. Republicans tried to get it passed for decades, but only Clinton was able to.
the consequences of the inequality do change by party even if the inequality doesn’t.
NO, that is not true. If the GOP takes power there will be no more democracy or checks on that growth.
Whether you know it or not you are repeating propaganda designed to suppress Democrat voter turnout.
It literally is true, you just don’t want to research it and would rather form your opinions based on your emotions instead of factual data about where our money goes.
Idk it certainly seems that the top 1% had a great run 2016-2020. Not so much 2008-2016. Great run going up to 2008 though.
