    I prefer data-driven, really.

    • Economy is better than either election cycle.
    • COVID is now largely behind us.
    • Trump is distracted and subject to numerous criminal lawsuits which a majority of independent voters say he’s guilty of.
    • Despite Trump being in campaign mode since his previous term, he still can’t out-raise Biden LOL.
    • Biden administration is at the helm, which means no attempts to “find votes” in Georgia, etc. LOL.

    But true, there are classic hurdles to overcome, like the archaic slave-era Electoral College giving land a vote and disproportionately giving Bubba more voting weight (I can make those jokes; I’m from Appalachia); the fact that Republican states are trying their normal shenanigans of adding more hoops to vote (especially in lieu of conservatives gutting the VRA).

    I just wish you demonstrated enough courage to show revealed true colors instead of hiding behind anonymity. Then we could have a real conversation if you’d just confess whom you really support. Crazy that your positions are so unpopular you can’t even openly say it lol.

      Economy is better than either election cycle.

      I somehow doubt the average Lemmy poster you’re so in tune with agrees on this.

      Economy is better for the country, or you personally? Are you a land owner with a large stock portfolio and other assets?

        When the average Lemmy poster is the average member of the electorate, then you let me know. Not too concerned for tankies and right-wing wedge-drivers, if that’s who you’re referring to.

        Put another way, by every classic metric Republicans would hold the economy over Democrats if Trump were in office, we’re doing fantastic. GDP Up, Inflation coming down, Gas prices coming down, Stock Market all-time high recently, unemployment low, etc. etc.

        Most importantly, pretty much every single metric is improved since — again — the previous two election cycles.

        I find it amusing you always try to just reply to singular pieces of low-hanging fruit because you have fundamentally no argument consistently for >80% of the points I make; and of that which you do respond, it’s quite easily picked apart.

          Just checked your profile and you created 3 different communities and can’t attract a single other monthly user due to how you behave online and your ridiculous viewpoints.

          You are clearly not interested in discussion and prefer talking to yourself in circles.

          Blocked.

            LOL as if that has anything to do with the subject at hand. I haven’t even attempted to advertise. You’re trying so hard to find something and got: Nothing.

            Looks like I’m right.

            You ignored all this dude’s salient points to argue about token legislation, then blocked him when he responded to each of your points with due diligence. You whined about posts for personal attacks, then you made THIS post. What a bigger man you are. Kudos. You should be lauded for your patience, you would never stoop to such a level. You haven’t made an ad hominem since middle school debate club. I bet you’re right proud of your reading comprehension skills and ability to research.

              They kept changing their points and insults with constant edits. You’re coming into this thread a day late after most of their posts have edits.

              I don’t have to engage with bad faith actors after giving it a serious try.

                    You can see edit timings - meaning this gentleman is just lying about “every post being edited”. I edited the post where I mentioned it when it was posted to illustrate the point (Timestamp doubled, edit timing shows in parentheses)

                    In fact, you can see he edited his own posts more with quickly googled info.
