Incumbency advantage persists. Swapping to a new candidate would likely be worse, even if the candidate is better, purely based on electoralism.
Yes, the dems do nothing. This is better than Republicans, who do a lot of bad shit. Voting dem won't fix issues, it will just prevent many more from cropping up. What fixes issues is grassroots praxis.
Unfortunately, the time for a better candidate was last election cycle. Incumbency advantage is too critical to give up.
That being said, voting harder won't ever move America to the left, that has to be done at the grassroots level.
I did not argue that point. I claimed that Trump's dogshit economic policy was a major factor in today's inflation, but I understand that reading and logic don't come naturally to you. Trump made decisions that directly harmed the economy in the long run purely to make himself look better.
We cannot argue about environmental impact, it's a fact. The fact that you even suggest that it's arguable proves your own lack of intelligence, the same as you pretending I claimed Biden had no impact.
Sure, he did one thing that likely did impact gas prices. That does not in any way mean that Trump's fucking terrible economic policy isn't a thing. It's anti-science to deny climate change, which the WE does.
I never made the point that it didn't affect gas prices, you failed to deny Trump's impact on gas prices. This is how logic works, though I know it's difficult for you.
Holy shit you're legitimately a lunatic, to be referencing fucking WE as a source.
Either way, nothing you've pointed to means Trump's terrible economic choices for short term gains and long term disaster didn't also impact gas prices, or even the majority of the impact.
Please, keep consuming anti-science brainrot and continue to persist in your white-supremacist echo chamber. I'm sure one day you'll hate your way into happiness!
Are you saying Biden caused the war in Ukraine and Trump caused $2 gas, without causing $3-4 gas today?
Do you understand that the economy has momentum that takes years to fully manifest? We don't live in a command economy, lmao.
Do you exist purely in the present with no knowledge of how past actions create future problems?
It just so happens to be a consequence of Capitalism, though.
Okay, so it sounds like you're a leftist, and likely to agree that the bourgeoisie deliberately pits the Proletariat against itself as a means to prevent unified action.
It depends on why you aren't supporting either party. If it's because the libs are too radical and the conservatives are too fascist, then you're a centrist liberal. If you're legitimately outside the scope of those two, such as to the left (or somehow to the right), then you aren't a centrist.
Being extreme isn't wrong either. The strength of a position with respect to current society says nothing about the founding logic for said position. Climate change, for example, must be radically acted on to prevent even worse results from happening, and it must happen now or we will suffer even more.
Being between two ideologies is not a virtue in and of itself. Refusing to align with either of 2 generally shitty Capitalist parties, and being a centrist, are completely different things.
Plenty, but they appear to go over your head as you constantly dodge and pull whataboutisms.
Yes, I said that.
Trump isn't to blame for Biden's impact on gas prices. At the same time, Biden isn't to blame for the disastrous economic policy of Trump that caused massive inflation and instilled purely incompetent people into stations like the Supreme Court. Gas prices have trajectory, if you can recognize that Biden has had a negative impact on gas prices then surely you can understand that Trump royally fucked the economy, along with Social Programs and steered the US towards fascism.
I'm not a Biden Stan, I think he's a shitty lib. Shitty libs are better than incompetent fascists.
