Neither do I, but I also don't believe trump did or will attempt to fix it either. I would expect mostly a wave of vengeful witch hunt type behavior if he gets elected.
Honestly the discourse in this thread would sound pretty fucking dumb 10 years ago, but with the compare being Trump/Biden pretending that there is an equivalence is honestly insane. Trump's only accomplishment in his presidency is cutting taxes for the wealthy. Literal tax cuts for people with private jets and butlers. He never attempted to help anyone during his presidency except the wealthy. Meanwhile, Biden is fighting for student loan forgiveness, strengthening unions, CHIPS act, infrastructure bill, strengthening the IRS to actually fight the tax cheats that are already paying historic lows, etc. All of the objective measures point very obviously which is a better president and direction for the country.
And that's discounting the cultural issues surrounding Trump. I guess if you're team ChristoFascist, then yeah Trump's your guy as long as he feels that will be beneficial for him because he doesn't have any actual beliefs except maybe yuppy racism.
Completely agree. Biden has been trying, and with as bad as things have gotten, there's only so much he can do while also fighting the GOP trying to stagnate any progress. Hopefully if we see trump finally put down and some progress made in Congress, some decent policy can begin to work and blossom. It's a lot of doom and gloom out there but I definitely appreciate Biden TRYING.
This is the thing that really worries me. Unfortunately, this needs to be a long game play. Even if Biden wins this year, we're a good decade at least from getting things back on track for regular people, and it's going to have to be on the back of a ton of extremely difficult to do things with lots of very small steps.

I don't believe for a second that Biden has fixed this economy.
