Sharp and sustained economic criticism from Biden's ostensible allies established a narrative of failure that has proved alarmingly resistant to reality.
so i read the article and all the coments here, as well as most of the cited links and some other articles i thought would help. im not an economist but i know most of you aren’t either.
are we just allergic to admitting the economy might just be mid?
why are we so horny to say JOE BIDEN GOOD or JOE BIDEN BAD? when really it’s quite clear that many many things are bad, many people lost jobs, people are struggling, people are scared AND ALSO it could be a lot worse, because we’ve seen it be a lot worse in recent history?
and everyone railing against Biden in these comments: so are we cool with voting third party? letting the spoiler effect spoil? shudder voting Trump? what are your intentions? the primaries are over. the time to set up a third line to the trolley problem is past.
what are we doing? maybe we should pick a better struggle.
go unionize your workplace. go help out your neighbors and friends, go and participate in local government. vote for biden to minimize the violence that will inevitably occur. plant a garden for your community. support local artists who might be disabled or unable to work. tip your waiter. be decent? be kind. i don’t know im literally just a girl. whatever

I’ll 100% agree with this – I actually feel pretty weird coming in and saying all good things about any establishment Democrat like some kind of faithful CNN viewer. For me I actually try to make a deliberate effort to air criticism of Biden where it’s due (bottom comment here or talking about his support for Israel), although I can kind of understand the desire to respond to “Biden bad Biden bad Biden bad” in this sort of endless drumbeat with saying he’s good on everything, just to sort of “counterbalance.”
But yeah there’s nothing wrong with just saying it the way it is, good or bad.

1,000% agree. Internet is nice to be able to communicate about interests that maybe people in your real world environment don’t share. But nothing about real political and social change will happen from typing a comment.

You’re the very first person on many threads to accuse Biden’s critics of being Russian shills.
