A CNN article with Yellen saying we're not in a recession was posted as proof the OP was full of shit.
Unbelievable
I love liberals...
Do people ever think that I, a Democrat, am miserable, because Republicans are trying to destroy the country and I frankly scared about Democracy? Nothing to do with disappointment in the Democratic party.
I'm stealing "Do people ever think that I, a Democrat..." to use in jokes.
They're back to the "criticizing Biden is doing Republicans' work for them" talking point.
Places like r/politics are going to be impossible to deal with after the election.
I'm going to say stuff like "The democrats passed the covid bill and the infrastructure bill. But after that they failed on an epic scale. Their crushing loses are entirely on them." Then I'm going to get 5+ libs dogpiling on me and each of them is going to lecture me in detail...

You're accurately foretelling the future, I just think it's always important to remember that first bit & throw it back in their faces
throw it back in their faces
Nothing works at all there. Two of their favorite excuses/rationalizations are pure gold for them....
-
"Manchin and Sinema are blocking progress!"
-
"Look, people needed to vote so we got two more senators..." The fucking chutzpah of this annoys me to no end. It's not even wrong - it's a joke.
There are probably ~35 dem senators who have said that just for a Roe law - they'd do a filibuster carve out. But when you link redditors to a lib website that explains that - they just say "Look, we don't know how things really will go if we get two more senators. Voting is..."
Argh!
it's not about changing their mind it's about upsetting them. Hopefully enough that they stop saying shit like this.

Ummmm sweaty you don't understand government, Dems simply have no power ever and we have to elect them to symbolically resist Republicans but never in actuality
I have seen the errors of my ways. I am bad. And I should feel bad. We must always vote and we must pray hard that eventually the democrats will have at least 60 votes to overcome the filibuster. Inshallah. God Bless America.
Ngl I against my better judgement got into some reddit arguments and it's awful. Your post goes to -30 in a second and you get loads of replies telling you you don't understand the American government and Biden just can't do anything. These people are some combo of bot, intern, or CIA agent.
Your post goes to -30 in a second
And then for hours you get
You've been doing that too much. Wait 13 minutes.Stay classy reddit.
What should we call the unit of measurement for a misery index? A brandon?
Buh, buh, buh 538 says dems are slightly favored to win the senate! https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/
A 538 tweet after the election...
"Updated Senate tally 3 days after election is Rs 52 seats and Ds 44 seats. Not all Senate races have been called due various issues including legal challenges by losing GOP candidates. Critics on Twitter have criticized 538 polling and research. We are responding. 1/87"
More criticism can be found in the tweet thread. A tweet summarizes it as "This is fcuking dumb. 87 tweets! You have a website - publish this shit there!" 538 does not reply to such comments. But a self-styled 538 supporter-fan does. "ICYMI - You misspelled your profanity."
It's not that crazy. The map is favorable to the Dems, there aren't any surefire pickups for the GOP and in the most vulnerable seats they've run awful candidates. I'd be pretty surprised if Fetterman lost to Oz at this point. Kelly is reasonably popular in Arizona and Masters is a dipshit. Take those two and you just have to win 2 of GA/NV/NH to hold the Senate. Good chance the Dems lose the House by a decent margin but hold onto the Senate by the skin of their teeth.
lol @ the libs saying that it won't count this time around because people will vote due to the abortion ruling for the dems who didn't do a thing to stop it
the dems who didn’t do a thing to stop it
How dare you!
They gave speeches!
Did they even do that? Pelosi gave a press conference and said a poem she'd said many times before...
Good point.
Reporter: "Representative Pelosi what do you have to say about current Democratic efforts to create a Roe law?"
Pelosi: "I have a poem about babies. Your readers love babies. They want to hear about babies."
Reporter: "Perhaps after you speak about abortion."
Pelosi: "This poem was written by a dear, dear friend of mine who is an example of the American dream. She inherited 100 million dollars and she's now the biggest slumlord in my fine city of San Francisco. The American dream is alive and well if you work hard. If you fight for it. If you never quit. As the youngsters say - she's a girl boss! The poem is... Who doesn't love babies? Everybody loves babies! A baby is a light of the future. A baby is...."
