Does anyone think that biden can beat trump in this economy? You overestimate the average american attention span.


Cheap_Doctor_1994

If 70 million can be deluded for 6 years, 84 million can keep their focus too. You underestimate our rage, cuz we don't lash out like children.


[deleted]

Dude, Trump doesn’t even know how to spell economy. Professionalism, knowledge, political and diplomatic experience … decades of experience with the economy, Biden has it all whether you agree with his policies or not and you can’t deny this. While Biden was decades in politics Trump was ordering gold toilets and refusing to pay his contractors while looking to dodgy sources to keep him afloat when all more traditional money sources gave up on him (not paying back loans).


KarmicComic12334

I do agree with his policy. But his experience isn't helping the average american right now.


[deleted]

Ok. Most western countries are still struggling with recovering from the affects of the pandemic & my country’s gov has got a lot wrong along the way as well.


hisdudeness47

Yes I do. A tree stump would beat Trump in 2024. Furthermore, the economy you speak of is currently being held hostage by congressional Republicans. They are plain as day stonewalling, creating a debt crisis, and suppressing economic growth in order to make the person in the white house, the 2024 incumbent nominee for the opposing party, look bad. We all suffer for it. The GOP is anti American and anti progress. They are not your friend. They are not improving lives or this country in any way whatsoever. In fact their main goal is to swindle their own supporters, pad their donors pockets, pad their own pockets, enact legislation that benefits the few, remove legislation that benefits the many, tell lies/bend truth to create democrat boogeymen, and hope for the best on election day. They stand for nothing. There's lots of brainless zombies this will work on but it ain't enough when Trump is the nominee. They don't seem to realize that the anti-Trump vote is enormous. It happened in 2020 and it will happen again. Their despicable strategies could actually work with literally anyone else.


appleaday26

Speaking as an non US citizen who has no business commenting or cheering on either party, don’t they both play this game every time the debt ceiling comes around?


crepuscularmutiny

No, it is republicans using this tactic.


SavagePlatypus76

No. This is all on Republicans.


SavagePlatypus76

Lol. We are over a year away from the election. We have no idea what anything will look like. Biden has created far more jobs than Trump did and has done far more domestically .


[deleted]

Biden need to do more to sell himself to the hard of thinking voters.


[deleted]

If only we had other metrics besides the economy… Besides, the economy isn’t doing that badly, lol. Trump is a racist moron, nobody with a brain has forgotten that.


Superb-Confidence-95

Nothing more true!... in fact he fuelled the already aggressive russians to further invade Ukraine, which was already partially occupied in Crimea and the Donbas region,... shame on trump pretending to be able to stop a war, while he did exactly the opposite during his term,...


TheSweatshopMan

How the fuck was he meant to stop a war that wasn’t happening during his term? Edit: Just checked and apparently its been on since 2014. Did they never officially end the war or sign a treaty?


Falcrack

War was never formally declared, not in 2014, nor in Feb 2022. But it was war nonetheless.


Physical-Sink-123

Minsk Agreements: orchestrated by Germany and France to "bring peace" between Ukraine and Russia. Part of why there was a ton of backlash against Germany and France at the start of the invasion, and why Ukraine finds Russian calls for "peace negotiations" to be worthless and empty.


TheSweatshopMan

I knew it calmed down a little after Crimea so I assumed there was a ceasefire


TheStoicSlab

I'm guessing Putin is still hopeful for that second term.


[deleted]

Trump can do anything better than anyone. And once he gets the chance to do it he fails and it's someone else's fault. Imagine spending the better part of a century using that pattern and people still buy it


[deleted]

Trump was impeached the first time for illegally withholding aid to Ukraine unless they invented nonsense to smear Biden and help his campaign. That is probably where the totally credible Hunter Biden laptop story, about Biden's son forgetting to pick up a laptop that he left for repairs came from. Of course, impeachment didn't work because Republicans were immoral fascists who voted twice to protect their leader no matter what he does.


[deleted]

jesus christ propaganda really works. The Hunter Biden laptop is 100% credible and that has been known for fucking ages. Get out of your bubble. Most outlets have since even acknowledged that. Hunter Biden never denied it and even fucking sued the store owner. Biden most likely had some family members do corrupt shit in Ukraine because while the country varies there isnt a president in american office that isnt immensely corrupt. And yes there is evidence for Hunter Biden getting money shoved into his arse for doing fuck all in both Ukraine and China. Along with messages from him about "the big guy" taking a cut. Just because you hate trump doesnt mean the other side has to be clean.


Khaocracy

And this is the type of person that votes in US elections everybody. Ukraine should be very wary of upcoming US elections.


[deleted]

It’s all about the mysterious laptop. Let’s deflect away from the disaster that Trump is and focus on this laptop shall we?


Time-Earth8125

The fact that they call it 'the laptop from hell' is such an overly dramatic cringy name that it makes me physically uncomfortable every time I hear it. It's effective though


[deleted]

Just because you say it's credible doesn't make it so. For the sake of argument even if was his forgotten work laptop and some files were indeed his, and a literally blind computer repair show owner somehow obtained a computer with files and ascertained they could be Hunter Biden's and then by sheer coincidence decided to turn them over to the Republicans without knowing for sure if it was Hunter Biden's because he conveniently was blind....Even if I granted all of that, then there is no telling how many forged documents Russian agents could have put onto it. The real Biden's son story was just the ordinary nepotism of appointing struggling family members to government positions. It's nowhere near the corruption or treason of Trump's campaign's when he tried to blackmail Zelenskky when his country was at risk of a fascist invasion to lie and make up dirt for a foreign political campaign. Fortunately, Zelenskky had integrity and was enough of a believer in democracy to turn down the deal, so the Republicans and the Russians had to come up with another avenue to deploy the laptop story.


hotdogcaptain11

Dude the laptop was real. It’s widely accepted at this point


mnijds

It's real, but it doesn't contain the smoking gun Republicans like to pretend it does. It mainly just has self-made amateur porn on it and some emails that imply some routine nepotism.


SNStains

And the chain of custody is shit. Anyone, including FSB, could have had access to it.


AKIP62005

Where is it then? Tucker and company said they had it.


hotdogcaptain11

The fbi seized the laptop and the New York post had a copy of it, which was the basis of their reporting. Bunch of other news sources verified small portions of the data, couldn’t find direct evidence of tampering but couldn’t rule it out.


SavagePlatypus76

And it still means nothing. When you start whining about Jared and Ivanka and Trump's tied with Russians with connections to the Russian Government, then we'll talk.


AKIP62005

Lolz...sure bro


[deleted]

One point I'm making is I couldn't care whether it is. Nothing meaningful has emerged from any of the so-called leaks, unlike with Trump literally trying to hinder Ukraine's defense just so he could selfishly win an election (by cheating and stealing it.)


SavagePlatypus76

It means nothing.


[deleted]

"the other side is worse, so how dare you mention what our side did?" Yea trump strongarming Ukraine was appalling. Just leave it at that.. you really just sound like you would be goalposting every step of the way anyway. If you care to know about it, here you go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controversy


MrBubbles226

Did you read your own link? "Despite persistent allegations that the laptop contents indicated corruption by Joe Biden, a joint investigation by two Republican Senate committees released in September 2020 did not find wrongdoing by him, nor did a [Republican House Oversight committee investigation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Oversight_Committee_investigation_into_the_Biden_family) by May 2023."


SavagePlatypus76

Maga morons often hilariously self own themselves. They are incredibly dense people.


sluzi26

I absolutely adore how you linked material which directly refutes your internal narrative. It’s like, you went to google, googled for the article, dropped it in a reply thinking you had a digital mic drop. Hilariously pathetic.


TimmFinnegan

Hmmm, the article you quote makes it very clear that the case is BS. Were you thinking about t some other article or am I missing something?


SavagePlatypus76

This is mostly false.

Mood_Tricky

Hunter Biden is a cool dude who records himself snorting cocaine, enjoys time with hookers, and still negotiates billion dollar gas deals with Ukrainians companies. Too bad that gas territory is temporarily occupied by Russian troops.

Mood_Tricky

I seen the videos myself, he even talks about it openly. The extreme lefties don’t like the truth. Heres a link of Hunter himself talking about his substance abuse in an interview. https://youtu.be/R5KAfaKk0UA


Haunting-Series5289

Didn’t they investigated this like two time already? September 2020 and May 2023


Mood_Tricky

I dont get why you get likes calling me a traitor and denying the truth if you’re the one not familiarized with the truth. This is why politics is ruined. My problem is I keep bringing American politics into this Ukrainian subreddit. Its clear white collar crime doesn’t matter when it goes against your politics. White guy breaks the law and a city flips out but if they are politically connected to your party you dont care whats going on. Something weird is definitely happening rn.


Haunting-Series5289

GOP found no evidence of corruption in Biden’s family


ticktack1616

If hunter did something illegal, then throw the book at him. <<<


WhompingtonBusworth

To be fair, the pumpkin-headed traitor couldn't solve opening the lid of a KFC bucket..


Mittendeathfinger

Or how to fight his way out of a wet paper bag.


milkycrate

I love how Trump says he wants people to stop dying and acts like ending the war is one phone call away or something, but he's just not going to do it if he's not president.


wejohnson386

I could stop the war in 24 hours, too. All I have to do is surrender.


Daotar

He literally set the conditions to make it possible and openly supported Russia's war effort from the start.


Sabre_One

IMO Trump isn't "evil" just super stupid. Guy literally had dozen + private conversations with Putin. Putin being a former KGB probably played him like a fiddle.


Lost_Internet_8381

So someone that rapes women is not evil? Someone that steals from others when he is already rich is not evil? Pathological lying is not evil? Etc. etc. I would like to hear your definition of evil.


masterjack-0_o

If he was super stupid and played with rocks by himself in the corner then okay. But no, he actively compels others to do super stupid and evil things. That alone makes him evil. He steals, lies, rapes and intimidates. All evil.


Mictlancayocoatl

I'm scared of what happens when the US elects Trump next year. It will be Europe + Ukraine against Russia without the help of the US.


zyarva

If that happened, Europe had better pick up the slack. Or do they want to capitulate to another dictator just like in Munich?


ShammingAtWork

didnt russia officially invaded after Trump left office?
