Biden’s dilemma: NC voters are sour on the economy despite its rise | Opinion

13 comments

1. Biden and the experts, “Why won’t they just believe us how great this economy is?!”

   Meanwhile, 70% of Americans, “Which bills can we push to next month and still afford food and rent?”

2. Savings accounts are emptied. It went into fuel tanks and groceries. Biden did everything possible to empty out our saving accounts. He did nothing to help us retain our own earnings. Was able to save under Trump and sucked away under Biden.

3. Biden’s REAL dilemma: convincing the MAGA faithful that Trump cannot do a goddamned thing to make the economy better. They’re hitching their wagon to the Titanic.

4. Look, the Democrats can’t (yet) force them to vote the right way. They’ve got to wake up and small the garbage the Republicans are welling, and then realize their interests are better served by voting for Biden. And if they vote for Trump and he starts having all the Dems in their family imprisoned or shot, then they would only have themselves to blame. They could pull out their rifles and pistols and try to overthrow the government, but they’ll just end up as tourists at the Capital building that the new dictator doesn’t defend.

   Smell that smell. That’s Trump’s fart, all he offers.

5. The headlines are slowly shifting from a clear Biden advantage to a slippery slope of- inflation, economy etc. we cannot deny the devastating impact of how strong the economy is yet people are struggling. Wages aren’t rising enough to keep pace with the cost of living.

   In my personal opinion- Biden’s bane would be affordable housing. So polls are shifting for the govt at the wrong time.

   This is the top headline from today’s CNN-

   [CNN poll: Trump maintains lead over Biden](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/28/politics/cnn-poll-trump-biden-matchup/index.html)

6. Wide open southern border with drugs, sex trafficking, and criminals flowing over.
   Rampant consumer and government debt.
   Inflation raging.
   Infrastructure needing fixed/repaired.
   Gas prices higher.
   Unaffordable housing.
   A minimum wage that hasn’t been raised in decades.

   And yet the priority of Biden and the rest of the military industrial complex whore uniparty is to keep waging war and send billions to the corrupt governments elsewhere.

   Our government is a pathetic joke.

7. Imagine being so simple-minded you think the President controls the economy. The economy is extremely complicated with a ton of variables and a ton of actors. Changes in fiscal policy can take years to have an effect. 

   But it’s much easier to just point fingers and say Biden bad or Trump bad. 

8. Maybe because the right wing media keeps pushing the message that the economy is a disaster even though the numbers don’t support that message. Maybe the price of goods at the Supermarket is the fault of those who are price gouging. I don’t believe any President sets the price on a box of corn flakes…Trump claims he will fix everything in 24 hrs after taking office.
   I wish someone would ask him how?

9. People of honesty can’t vote for higher gas prices, higher food prices, higher housing. It’s typical liberal irresponsible business positions.

10. Define “rise”

11. People are struggling to pay their bills/energy/gas/food.
    This economy is TRASH

12. The shills from r/politics are doing their best to sink this sub further.

13. I am voting with my wallet this time.. wait, thats every time….
