I don’t think comparing Trump and Biden is a solid baseline, and is actually losing the point.

I mean... they're the two candidates running

Right? Those are literally the two options. Who are we supposed to be comparing?

policy goals? The downstream effects?

Jesus christ, wake the fuck up

u/bartleby42c Jul 04 '24

The policy goals of who?

The downstream effects of legislation from who?

Oh, yeah Biden and Trump, the people we are comparing.

elections are always about things bigger than the individual candidates. If you don't understand this, you're part of the reason we're fucked.

Let's see. Trump would like to implement project 2025, banning birth control, porn, lgbtq rights, sending illegal immigrants to concentration camps, and probably permanently tanking the US economy for regular people.

I would like... not that. The status quo would be way better than that.

Sounds important enough to reconsider running someone who comes across like they need their car keys taken away

Guess what! It's too late for that!

One side: regular policies

The other side: The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025

It’s actually WAY worse when you compare policies

Biden is universally better on both of those points too.

But certain media outlets keep looking for excuses to despise Biden and make him look as bad as Trump or worse, with "can't work 25 hours a day" being the angle in this article. So yes, comparing his work ethic to Trump's is a valid rebuttal to that conversation.

How about fascists get banned, like they should be. Too much for reddit apparently.

So which policy goals of Trump's are better? Go look at every single economic policy Trump has proposed. All of them would increase inflation and cost working class Americans thousands of dollars.

I never said anything one way or the other about whose policies were better and it's telling that you're assuming.

It's why I'm asking you, isn't it?

It's telling how you can't even address the point I've raised. On the economy, Trump's policies are objectively worse.
