But averages don’t tell the full story: Middle-income and lower-income Americans’ wages stopped outpacing inflation last year, according to Bank of America.

As if the first go around wasn’t telling enough. But, hey, at least the plutocracy has another tax cut that they bought and paid for.

    Biden didn’t raise the minimum wage, either.

    Yes, I know there are “reasons”, but they’re all bullshit and could have been overcome by, say, an FDR or even a Clinton.

    There’s a reason Democratic voter turnout was so low with last election, all these little reasons over the decades add up. Elections have consequences, indeed.

    Independents are now up to 40% of voters, the major parties are bOtH losing voters (30% each now, new low)

        Biden will always be in the bottom 15 of presidents for not crushing MAGA as a National Security Threat after the Insurrection and hundreds of stolen documents, and allowing them to rise and take power again. Trump should have been executed for his treason, or at least put in prison for the rest of his life.

        And they had the Epstein Files, too.

        Unforgivable political malpractice.
