From what i have seen among family and friends who have and continue to be in trouble most of them are living in others people's homes, mostly parents or siblings and friends. Yet have been living a middle class lifestyle on low end jobs/credit and Gov't handouts for the last couple years and that can only last so long. I cant even remember how many times I have heard from somebodies kids or my own niece that "i am living at home to help my parents out". While living lifestyles they cannot truly afford as they dont actually help financially at all . And while I said "kids" i am talking "kids" in their 30's.

I would say you fall in that category.
Do you agree?
Nope. I'm VERY financially secure, no longer in the workforce and I live far away from economic & crime disaster zones in this country.

I'm doing very well, just sitting here eating my bucket of popcorn watching the **** show expand.

I wonder if Joe Biden will promise to pay off everyone's credit card balances before the 2024 election?

If the Pubs were smart, they'd jump all over that....but they won't. When will Pubs learn that honesty is for losers?
Bribing people for votes = election wins.

So then why all these doom and gloom posts?
I’m guessing it makes your popcorn taste better.
I think that commonly known as as ****stirrer? Hope I can say that here- I don’t usually use curse words!
ETA: bad on me, no that’s not allowed. Good to know.

Just commenting on the reality on the ground.

Not my fault everything Biden and the Democrats do results in doom & gloom.

Maybe Democrats and Biden should try to do better, rather than making everything worse by the day.

Republicans need to show people that they actually care about the issues. All this cackling on conservative media outlets about the porn on Hunter's laptop, or lies about Democrats wanting to give little kids sex change operations or who gets to play sports in high school makes the Republican party seem irrelevant to voters who are worried about paying the rent and keeping up with inflation. It was also a major mistake in strategy for the conservative Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. If more Republican candidates had stuck with talking about REAL problems rather than still whining about the Big Lie, you guys might have gotten your red wave. Oh, well. I'm just so pleased that you guys will be letting Trump run again in 2024. You are going to be pulverized.

But it’s not your reality as you have admitted.
If you live better off than 99.5% of the population why is it your place to tell everyone else how bad they have it. And they should be miserable. Not you of course, but everyone else.
Just want to start conflict that is not your fight?
I know cause it’s fun to watch and chow down on popcorn.
Sick.

I'm a very conservative person and I voted blue for the first time in my life. I really don't agree with the democrats on much if anything.

After January 6 I had to pick my country over myself. Remember when the USA was great it was country first and then family.

You guys?

What guy am I?

Have you read any of my posts?

Are you aware I'm not a Republican?

Are you aware I'm an anti-Trumper, who keeps warning his sheeple about how he will elect a Democrat in 2024?

The rest of your rant was a real cool story bro.

Because this is still America, for now my friend.

We all get to have a voice in what happens, for now my friend.

Just because you are butt hurt that team blue's policies have all sucked and damaged America bigly, doesn't mean I can't highlight the failures. BTW - I also highlight failures on the Republican side too.

Here's an idea. Rather than getting upset about people discussing the results of failed liberal policies, maybe you should focus on getting team blue to make better policy decisions. Then all I could highlight would be all their successes.
