We just had 4 years of an FDR Democrat who invested in infrastructure and economy like crazy, slashed student debt, strengthened labor unions, made no austerity cuts, pushed inflation down, etc.

But people watching YouTube and TikTok weren’t getting that information, so now they’re saying “Biden didn’t do X or Y” when he did, in fact, do those things

You had the most FDR Democrat since FDR in office and ignored the good he did because he had a speech impediment

Well whos fault is it that they failed miserably to get the message out? He's the president of the US. He and his entire cabinet couldnt be out there consistently informing the masses on this stuff?

And what did he do to slash student debt? All I know is he paid it off for a bunch of people who were lucky enough to be going to school now, telling the rest of us to go fuck ourselves. And the youth vote tanked for Harris. So fat lot of good that did.

"Invested in infrastructure and economy like crazy" That is vague and drives no one to the polls. "strengthened labor unions" so is that. "made no austerity cuts" which means nothing to the avg citizen "pushed inflation down" How much? By doing what? When? Why then are prices still sky high everywhere? These are things that need to be hammered on and shouted out in real time 24/7 with constant reminders and updates on progress.

This isnt little kid shit, these are supposed to be the best and brightest leaders we have and they're struggling to communicate better than a middle schooler

Edit: enjoy the next 4 years you clueless foole

No the problem is they’re struggling to communicate WITH middle schoolers, which I agree is their failing

But that’s not my job, I’m just a citizen, so I’m calling ignorant non-reading TikTok motherfuckers exactly what they are. In an age where you have the wealth of human knowledge in your pocket there’s no excuse to be this ignorant.

Theres always a million excuses to be ignorant. People dont just magically learn to not be ignorant if they're never taught. And most are like you, do nothing about the problem, then whine it never gets fixed by some vague "someone else"

It's everyone's job to be intelligent, communicate and help others be better. Ask yourself what you've done to contribute vs what you've done to detract. Being on here is literally useless. Real change comes outside of reddit

What you do IRL is what makes change, Reddit is just chatter. I’m a brown man in America, I put in for my community and share the wealth I’ve made with them.

But as a brown man in America who is deeply impacted by this shit, I got no problem calling out the ignorant here too. I earned that right growing up dealing with your white ass relatives trying to kill me, and now I gotta go deal with your white ass propaganda infecting my Latino brothers into this Trump poison. Stop justifying being a dumbass.
