not allowed to vote
only allowed to watch y’all vote straight red or blue ticket while the country burns around me
tried like others to sound alarms but all people say is both sides and my team
always a reason we should relate to our supposed masters and always a reason why they are so benevolent without any faults
democrats not doing shit is just as bad a republican doing shit
last food bank visited had out of date food, not diet dependent such as a senior that has to watch sugar levels, as you mentioned very restrictive schedules, etcetera
been an adhesive bandage for centuries along with faith-based assistance and past time we remedy the issues causing any hunger
my comment was about how both sound like seniors refusing to step down and are holding back progress by doing such which is why seniors get put up as president
easier to control the narrative that way
Fact-checkers and news organizations have documented false and misleading statements made by President Joe Biden on a range of topics. These claims have been made during public speeches, interviews, and on the campaign trail.
Economy and inflation
Inflation rate: On several occasions, Biden has claimed to have inherited a high inflation rate of around 9% from the previous administration. In fact, when he took office in January 2021, the inflation rate was 1.4% and did not peak at 9% until June 2022.
Deficit reduction: Biden has repeatedly stated that he cut the federal deficit by over $1 trillion. While the annual deficit did drop significantly, analysts have noted that this was mainly due to the expiration of temporary pandemic-related spending, rather than the effects of Biden’s policies alone. Many of his actions have increased, not decreased, the deficit.
Corporate taxes: Biden has falsely claimed that after he signed the Inflation Reduction Act, no large, profitable corporations would pay zero federal income taxes. The new 15% corporate minimum tax only applies to companies with at least $1 billion in annual income, leaving many large firms unaffected.
Billionaires’ tax rate: He has cited a figure of 8.3% as the average federal tax rate for billionaires. Fact-checkers note that this figure is misleading because it is based on an alternative calculation that includes unrealized capital gains, which are not currently taxable income.
Personal biography
Uncle Ambrose Finnegan: Biden has told a story that his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was shot down over New Guinea during World War II and that his body was never recovered because it landed in an area with cannibals. The official Defense Department account states that Finnegan’s plane crashed into the ocean due to mechanical failure, not from being shot down, and there is no mention of cannibalism.
Driving a truck: Biden has falsely claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck. While he did ride in one, a commercial driver’s license was never in his name.
Amtrak story: He has repeatedly told a story about an Amtrak conductor named Angelo Negri who congratulated him on his travel mileage. However, Negri had retired and passed away before the recounted conversation could have taken place.
Youngest Senator: Biden has claimed to be the second-youngest person ever elected to the Senate. He was actually the sixth-youngest at the time of his election.
Visits to Iraq and Afghanistan: Biden has overstated the number of times he visited Iraq and Afghanistan as a senator and vice president, claiming figures higher than those his own campaign provided.
Other claims
Israel and weapons: In a July 2024 interview, Biden made several false claims about the provision of weapons to Israel, including stating that he was only withholding one type of bomb. In fact, his administration had withheld a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs, but he has made other, often contradictory, statements on the matter.
China’s population: In April 2024, Biden claimed that China has more people in retirement than working. This is false, as statistics show China has more than double the number of working-age people compared to its senior population.
US southern border: In July 2024, Biden misleadingly claimed that the number of US encounters with migrants at the southern border was at its lowest point since he took office. While encounters had recently dropped, the numbers were much lower during the majority of the previous administration.
when the owner class owns the baby products and parent tools and owns the school materials we learn on and the news plus all media we consume as well as the food we eat and all the ads we consume and of course our voting machines then the system becomes rigged and means no free agency which democracy cannot live without
if read the article but use Biden for Trump and Trump for Biden sounds just like something Biden had said during his four years
might just be that seniors that refuse to retire and allow a change of guard just all sound the same
why are we only making progress when we are going backwards?
the whole dnc this year exemplified and was iconic of the democrat party and had their full face shown mask off
but in full on football politics fashion democrats just like republicans get blindly straight color ticket voted on using voting machines that are the property of some unknown company without a wikipedia page to do it with
and the information that got them to cast a blind vote for red or blue came from media that is owned by the same groups that own the voting machine
and citizens are taught how to interpret data at schools which use materials that are owned by the same ones control the media and the vote machines
democracy is dead
been on the ground there recently and can confirm this
local police are armed more and equipped with tactical gear too
stopping vehicles in the middle of the road even with one vehicle saw they had all the passengers held at gun point
if the democrats when they held control would done something about education, environmental protections, living wages, etcetera like they said were for then the United States could have had real informed elections with educated healthy citizens
so in part it is the democrats fault for purposeful atrophied
just like computers your output will be directly impacted by your input
stop with the uncle tom defense of our supposed masters they do not need any of our help
32·3 days agonot sure patching this up any longer will work been a patch job for what 249? years
just like a democrat screaming npr and shit
both sides have not done shit ever for any of us except crumbs if that
Why so blue or red could have another four years to keep our country in a stranglehold for the owner class?
They even own the voting machines too
And places like Oklahoma are a testing ground for the school reforms
Need our minds back
fuck that adhesive bandage just fucking full massive protest already
only 2% turnout last protest and imagine take 75%+ just to get this fixed
Typically if on food stamps on a fixed budget but people were told at the end of the month right before funds were reloaded making this advice horseshit
Maybe we should do what the Democrats and Republicans want and subsidize it with private industry
Remember folks we have to vote straight ticket and never look at the candidates only the first letter of their party and what the candidates favorite color is matters
Democrats are on your side they say so and Republicans bad all their fault we have to subsidize everything and compromise and we can always try harder later
blue good because they say so and all the Republicans fault the Democrats good
Vote blue
just like Biden Platner being in the Democrat party makes this acceptable
if Platner would have been a Republican headline would be all about his racist past
you mean the ones that fund both the democrats and republicans to keep the theater going?
so we have to vote democrat to be democratic and is there no other way but one side because inconceivable both sides are not on our side?
and you highlighted my point with an example with an immediate knee jerk reaction “both sides”
is anything that is not positive about democrats fake news and both sides?
and do the republicans not have this same filter of my party no wrongs has to be fake news attitude?
