this person basically just went: bad thing happened to me -> blame the president -> vote for the other person.

i have no interest in coddling people's feelings and telling them how right they are when they are operating with this level of analysis. Im not a politician so i dont have to deal with that, but im so tired of trying to explain how the world works to stupid people and getting shit for it because im not validating their delusions.

When presidents are quick to take credit for economic successes, surely it isn't unreasonable to hold them accountable for economic failures.

The disconnect between government data and the economic realities MANY people experienced (as evidenced by exit polling on the economy) only further salts the wounds for people not doing well.

again, youre assuming people's delusions about their personal finances are worth entertaining. theres absolutely no economic indicator you could point me to that validates people's feelings about the economy.

There were no economic failures during Joe Biden's presidency.
