    This could be another huge talking point for Democrats, but once again, this great opportunity to ding Republican governance is going to be missed since Democrats are so utterly incompetent to sell their successes and attack their opponents.

    The inflation rate has fallen down to 3%, which is one of the lowest in the industrialized world right now. Have there been Democrats all over the news selling that success? No, of course not. Gotta keep those wins well hidden, dontchaknow!

      Republicans and The Military actively worship an orange turd who is even more openly anti-military than I am. All while praising him for being good for soldiers and the troops and blah blah blah. Cops actively praise said orange dipshit when he is pro crime and terrorism rather than voting for the democrat geezer who has decades demonstrating he wishes he were a cop (and has a VP who basically is one…).

      You are making the mistake of assuming that republicans are making educated decisions. They aren’t. They just do what they are told. Whether it is a slackjawed moron who is too afraid to ever wear a bowtie again or whoever is on OAN at this point. It isn’t about reality, it is about being told “the people you don’t like will be hurt”.

      I do wish Democrats would cheer on more of the W’s. But moderates are similarly stupid and tend to vote for “decorum”. And, as amazing as it would be, watching Biden hop on stage and start doing DX crotch chops at the republicans while listing all his wins for labor and the everyday voter would probably do more harm than good.

        Amazing! The entire world is stupid, (insert as many additional derogatory terms as you wish). Except for you, of course!

        Good on you mate!

      I personally agree with this list. But, we have to be pragmatic here. This is what CNBC says they did:

      “The study measures quality of life issues including crime, health care, childcare and health care, as well as inclusive policies on discrimination and reproductive rights.”

      See, the last two skew this study. People in these shit hole states (not all, but at least enough of the voting public) don’t want inclusive policies or reproductive rights. So, to them, this metric is backwards. They would argue that living in California or New York was way more terrible because of the brown people and gays.

      This isn’t exactly a scientific study. It’s taking objective data to reach a subjective conclusion. Neat headline though.

      Edit: many if them are arguing exactly that in this thread. With a nice dose of racism and misogyny thrown in. Nice. I love when shit comes full circle.

    Aww gee, more bashing of the right by the tolerant left. If it weren’t for double standards liberals wouldn’t have any standards at all.

      So much to unpack here! I’ll just note that to be tolerant doesn’t preclude criticism of wrongdoing by others.
