I guess we’ll just have to wait and see whether Trump too goes for some messaging like, “if you’re worried about the cost of food and housing and healthcare maybe yer just stoopid cuz actually the economy’s doing great!”
If you're unable to distinguish the differences between the two major parties on those issues, congratulations. You're right where the party that's determined to give people like me who don't need them even more tax breaks, i.e Republicans, want you.
I AM able to distinguish the differences.
One party looks you in the eye and tells you who they are, and the other feigns outrage even tho they never seem to do a thing to counter or reform.

Sorry, no bait on this hook....
But wait! Don't you know that:
There's no difference between the two parties
and
Both sides do it.
^^^^^
(Considering the difference is mostly just performative)

You seem to think that either side has a magic wand it can wave to get whatever it wants.
Unfortunately only one side has that magic wand.
And it is the side that will be in total control on Monday.
(Considering the difference is mostly just performative)
After a while, your naiveté becomes unbecoming.
it's difficult to hear you lecture me about naiveté, particularly in the context of whether or not politicians feed us performative gestures.
What next, do you also believe stripper when she tells you she thinks you're cute?

I jumped out of everything ( including possibly developing in the Empire) when I saw Trump finger fucking Covid.
Jumped back in during Biden, and have had a great couple of years.
This was/is an interesting time frame and sequence of events.
I dunno what the exact details of your situation were and are. But in hindsight, I wish I DID purchase real estate in a pre-Covid market.

The irony of this thread title is amazing. American did fail, the last 4 years, and that's how trump got reelected
If an S&P 500 that gained 26% in 2023 and 23.31% in 2024 is "failing", more "failing", please.
Think about it Randy... Imagine for a moment that you're like japhy, and you have millions of dollars invested in the stock market. If only one of those millions is invested in an S&P 500 index fund, you made $260,000 in 2023 under Biden, and (assuming you don't reinvest the $260K you made in 2023), in 2024, you made $231,000. That's almost half a million dollars your $1,000,000 made in only the last two years under President Biden.
Talk about Biden "failing" seems kind of silly, when you look at it that way, doesn't it? Why the bull shit? Can Trump not be "Trump" without his cult members making up lies to give their cult leader a figurative reach around? Aren't you better than that?
And, because japhy's made soooo much $ under the Biden Administration, it was incumbent upon you and the rest of the cult to elect Trump so japhy won't have to pay much, if anything, on the proceeds.
tia for the tax cuts he so richly deserves.
And if hunter is averaging 20 and 10 that means KU is good right?

So some dumb fuck on a message board could accuse you of profiteering?

Ha. No, not quite.
So I could pay my own goddamn mortgage, rather than pay some profiteering landlord’s mortgage instead.

If hunter is averaging 20 and 10 based on his own ability, bravo, good for him.
But, if he's averaging 20 and 10 because the rules (tax laws) are rigged and referees (Federalist Society hand-picked judges) are philosophically opposed to Hunter's competitors, which is what we have, then we got a problem. A big problem, that you keep making worse by electing greedy, rich billionaires and their greedy, billionaire friends to office, to write our laws.
Get a clue, quit voting against your self-interests, and stop it, dammit.

Rich billionaires support both sides, time for YOU to get a clue. Money is power in this world, and you aren't winning an election without financial backing. You don't think the biden administration was influenced by billionaires?
Have you heard of George soros? Bill gates? Klaus Schwab? The entire world economic forum? It's literally a 450000 a month membership for a club for greedy rich evil billionaires who want to control the world. And they backed and elected Biden last time around, and their agenda was on full display throughout the last 4 years. And it's exactly what the American people rejected when the elected Trump
