Harris says “voters got what they ordered with Biden”

Your side can't give a fair portrayal of any republican ("fair" meaning an honest depiction of strengths and weaknesses). You all know that a fair/honest portrayal will likely make the republican seem like the one with better policy ideas (precisely why 60% of Americans said they were better off after 4 years of Trump), so you obsess over personal moral lapses, and if there aren't sufficient true examples to demonize the republican, you invent them, calling republicans every kind of hatemonger there is.

That's exactly what led to Trump.

Bush single-handedly caused the subprime mortgage crisis, but Biden has precisely zero ownership of the mess at the southern border, surging crime, or insane inflation.

I don't think Americans are buying that horsebleep anymore.

In 1996 Border Patrol averaged 125,000 arrests a month w/only 6,000 agents. They have nearly 20,000 today! Stop feeding the crisis narrative. The only crisis on the border is the one CBP is creating for migrants. Border Patrol is NOT overwhelmed.

Crime today is about half of what it was at its peak in the 90s

I suppose you’re claiming that the sole cause of inflation is the rescue plan act.

"why are prices so high"

Companies are on track to do a record $1 trillion in stock buybacks this year - twice as much as five years prior.

Remember that the people who set prices are swimming in record profits and using the money to enrich themselves

And blat about food prices but no one ever seems to mention that four companies control 85% of all meat Americans eat.

And yes their profits are all doing quite well right now.

(P.S. 10 poultry execs are currently under indictment for alleged price-fixing)

We are 40 years into a consistent and undeniable pattern of deficits growing under GOP leadership and shrinking under Democratic leadership.

But just keep believing

So...

You're saying illegal crossings aren't way up under Biden...

You're saying crime isn't an issue, because it's not at an all-time high.

You're saying federal spending had absolutely nothing to do with inflation. By the way, corporate profits were high under Trump too, but without the inflation.

"We are 40 years into a consistent and undeniable pattern of deficits growing under GOP leadership and shrinking under Democratic leadership."

Biden's deficits are lower than Trumps? Obama's were lower than Bush's?

Here's a chart showing deficits by year...your statement doesn't hold up.

Americans aren't buying your nonsense anymore Pete.

Pete: crime is way up since Trump left, but it’s not the highest it’s ever been, therefore it’s nothing to worry about!

Sure! Zero crime in any of the liberal-run cities - NY, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore...

Pete: Crime isn't an issue! And if it is, the republicans did it!
