I'm not actually a Republican, just someone who knows that if Biden ties his name to this economy he's going to lose to Trump, and I don't want that.
I’m not the one who came up with Bidenomics as their fascism-beating campaign slogan
The Biden team came up with it
Biden’s campaign is literally calling it Bidenomics
Hi, I'm OP.
I said "Is this Bidenomics" because the Biden administration is trying to push how great the economy is doing and is frustrated that people don't agree with statistics. And this post is an excellent example of why people don't agree the economy is doing great. It was a criticism of their political strategy and lack of awareness.
Then again, these are the same people who crammed 81 candles onto a six-inch wide cake and then snapped a picture that highlights Biden's advancing age, so I don't think the adults are running the show.
I'm not blaming Biden for the economy. I know the president has zero power over it because we live in a corporate feudal state with a priesthood of economists, politicians, and lawyers.
I'm saying that the gains they're trumpeting are overwhelmed by things like this. If people think the economy is doing poorly the solution is not to "well actually" and throw statistics at them.
