I don't think it's a Biden "strength".  I think inflation was bound to happen given the stimulus etc. during the pandemic.  I don't even blame Trump for that.  It happened worldwide.

I do credit Biden for at least some of our quicker recovery than most Western countries.  

That said, I don't think it's important (except in a political vote-getting sense) to pander to the uniformed.  When people can't grasp the very simple concept of price inflation and consequences thereof, I just write them off.

I don’t disagree with your post. The bolded part - that’s exactly what that graphic does.

Spot on.

I'll go further. Biden's presidency was an abject failure. So were Merrick Garland and Jack Smith.

His main objective should have been to stop Trump. By prosecuting Trump for Jan 6, the Mar-a-Lago security documents, and whatever else. I can't recall all the stuff the Jan 6 committee brought up.

Trump first. Everything else secondary.

Biden got it backwards. 

Total system failure.

We define "uninformed" very differently.

Interesting you know how I’d define it. I’d say 90% of the electorate is uninformed particularly to something as nuanced as that inflation metric. How do you define uninformed?

Disagree. You totally ignore a guy like that. You don’t even acknowledge him publicly. Let whomever should’ve been in the place of Garland and Smith do their jobs and never acknowledge Trump or those two publicly. Biden and Harris engaged him FAR too often. He thrives off drama and theater. Don’t give it to him, ever.

His main objective was to mitigate the disaster of Covid, then start-unfucking everything else.   There was too much to unfuck, because the bad actors are entrenched and didn't just start with trump.

Big fail, spill over ramifications wrt to public trust in public health messaging. Was all discussed here in real time. 

No, it was posited by you in real time and most people thought you were (and are) full of shit.

Come on jimmy. Posited in real time and has come to pass. The COVID vaccine mandates were wrong headed public policy. Totally predictable how this would play out. You had very smart lawyers here arguing positions that were totally epidemiologically unhinged.

In ordinary times, Joe Biden would go down as a very good president owing to the infrastructure act, the CHIPS Act, and the inflation-reduction act.  But these were not ordinary times.  Biden treated them as they they were ordinary times, but they weren't.
Joe Biden never had the first clue what it was going to take to defend the Republic.  So he nominated people like Merrick Garland.  And in so doing, Biden failed in his foremost job duty: to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

It’s like one of the last lines from Charlie Wilson’s War: “… and then we fucked up the end game.”

Good talk @jimmyjazz!

Sorry, forgot to respond.  I define uninformed (in this context) as failing to understand that inflation rate is a snapshot in time, and that price history is the net accumulation of inflation/deflation over a given time period.  (My words.)  The media and government officials could do a much better job of clarifying this.  Politicians have little to no incentive to do so.

Well we are in complete agreement. Why are we arguing.

Garland was a bullshit nomination.

feckless, cowardly milquetoast moderate moron who deserves a lion's share of the blame for this authoritarian idiocracy.

He bent over backwards to give the appearance of a "fair and balanced" investigation and prosecution of an obvious traitor and seditionist who deserves prison for his actions that he allowed a bullshit narrative of "weaponized justice" to seed and grow in the agonizingly slow process that all his doing. Then that idiot bus flattened him as he stood in the middle of the road with his limp dick in his hand.

Following you around in this thread that I've posted on previously? And that's very ableist to call me a cripple though as far as I'm aware, I have all my limbs fully functioning. 

Yes, exactly that. Tagging me in other threads as well.

Huh? I don't tag anyone anywhere as far as I can remember. Are you taking on the persona of your hero now and confusing me with someone else?
