I didn't pick either of them because I think there are better persons out there for the job as President. I voted based on where I stand.

I see people on this thread suggesting that I should vote for Trump.
So Jorgensen did nothing for you but you still voted for him.

Except you said because Trump did nothing for you so you wouldn’t vote for him, yet Jorgensen did nothing for you either.

Not seeing that.

Yup.

1. Knowing their (there) would be record inflation.
Pretty obvious that one was coming with Trump's COVID deficits running around 10% of GDP per year.

2. Knowing their (there) would be record Gas prices.
What's interesting with gas prices is adjusting them for wages. Multi-factorial there but wages way up. It terms of playdough fiat currency oil costs a lot more which isn't surprising given monetary policy, helicopter money, paying people more to not work and be unemployed than that earned working. In terms of average hourly compensation though gas prices aren't all that high. The dollar is worth less meaning your time as a worker is worth more dollars and you need more dollars to buy things.

3. The bungled pullout of Afganistan (Afghanistan).
Maybe Trump shouldn't have surrendered to the Taliban. Honestly, did anyone think that was going to go smoothly? Perhaps if Trump hadn't been so busy worrying about trying to appoint himself leader or his re-election bid he would have put some effort into pulling out of Afghanistan after he surrendered to the Taliban. Perhaps Biden would have paid more attention after he delayed Trump's original deadline. Nobody really cared what happened in Afghanistan since Osama got taken out in Pakistan really.

4. Covid still rampant

Almost as if COVID doesn't really care about who is sitting in the Oval Office. Whodathunkit.

5. Housing crises

Ongoing. Trump didn't fix it, Obama didn't fix it, Biden won't fix it.

Well, he fired Fauci; and vaccines were developed in record time under his watch.
States all had different guidelines, some many; others none.
Not a Trump fan, but Dems?; no.
They like socialism, which only works until you run out of other peoples' money.

Muh Fauci the “expert” told because Trump and everyone else we had nothing to worry about, when the fact was there was everything to worry about from day 1. The old fool still has no idea what he’s talking about as he changes his story constantly. Hilarious how he had folks believing it started from a bat.

Anyway. This is mostly for Biden voters.

1. Knowing their would be record inflation.

2. Knowing their would be record Gas prices.

3. The bungled pullout of Afganistan.

4. Covid still rampant

5. Housing crises

And so on would you of still voted for him over the other guy? granted not all the above is Biden's fault or within his control.


I would of still stayed out the election both undesirable choices.
But here’s the thing, you not voting for trump helped biden win the election. So you are just as much at fault for this as a biden voter.
That plus it's a stupid thread anyway.

Since then a huge amount of folks have left those ridiculous Dem cities/states for greener and redder pastures. Living in fear, shutting it down, extending free stuff and adding to it, and letting folks live rent free while sOOO many jobs were available has consequences, and we’re seeing it with skyrocketing Bidenflation.

Selective memory though is useful. Remember when Trump was pressuring the CDC to ban evictions and let everyone live rent free? A lot of people conveniently forgot about that. Not much resistance to the Trump eviction ban but when Biden wanted to extend Trump's policy suddenly the sky was falling. Fortunately Trump's judges ruled against Trump on that issue as well as they refused to appoint him Banana Captain.

Right, honestly there's a whole lot about Biden's presidency so far that is merely a continuation of things that were happening under Trump but are now bad because teams changed.

I wasn't going to support him anyway. I didn't vote for Biden. I didn't vote for Trump either. I don't support Trump. We were given the choice between one bad candidate vs another bad candidate. If Trump vs Biden vs Clinton were the best we could do between 2016 and now, we have bigger problems.
