If we go back long enough, the democratic party opposed Abraham Lincoln. We have to put a line somewhere.
> According to Biden
To be clear, I'm not a US citizen. If you think telling me that Biden lied is a shocker, you are wrong. I do think that in general he lies less than Trump, though.
But to answer the spirit of your not-in-very-good-faith question: GDP means nothing if all the wealth is concentrated in 10 individuals. Unemployment means nothing if most folks need to take 3 jobs and food stamps just to make ends meet.
- blindriver 2y agoI'm putting a line at the 1970s and 1980s and then explained how things changed immediately after that and that's when they started abandoning the working class. > If you think telling me that Biden lied is a shocker, you are wrong. I'm not saying you should be shocked. I'm giving strong evidence that your assertion that the economy was bad is wrong. What is your proof that the economy was bad?
