  Process going up and wages staying the same?

  The same way it’s been for more than a decade?

  And this is the basis that people used to justify voting for Trump?

  People really are fucking stupid, aren’t they?

    I didn’t expect to catch one in the wild, but evidently they just can’t help themselves.

  Bullshit. Trump won because he, Musk, and Putin rigged the election, then MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries betrayed AMERICA, and let them get away with it, and EVERYBODY knows it.

  Ok.

  I was talking about 2020.

  The one before the one you are talking about.

  Also, most ‘die hard leftists’ were disgusted by Kamala’s pro-Genocide stance.

  And a pretty good deal of actual leftists were saying ‘all these economic numbers that politicians and the media are touting are bullshit, they’re incomplete, they are not reflective of reality’.

  And well now we have all the job revisions and yep that was correct, I think the BLS has now ‘un addded’ something like 2-3 million jobs between 2022 and present.

  You’re conflating liberals and leftists, which betrays that you have no idea what a leftist is.

  Its liberals that fall in line with standard corporate Dem talking points.

  Leftists tend to challenge and critique them.

    corporate Dems have power, leftists don’t, and never will because they’d rather sit around bitching and whining and agonizing about what is ‘really leftist’.

      Well its not like you’d have any understanding of what is or isn’t really leftist.

      Here’s a hint:

      Opposing massive government handouts to huge megacorporations.

      Opposing biased legal standards and tax structures that massively favor the wealthy being able to accumulate more wealth, at the expense of the poor.

      Opposing idiotic broad general tariffs that have historically and are currently exacerbating an ongoing Great Depression.

      But, fascists love doing all those things, because they are economically illiterate and/or openly, brazenly corrupt.

      And now, for more vocab, if you oppose these fascist policies, you are now anti-fascist, otherwise known as antifa.

      But fascists cannot comprehend the idea that anyone could disagree with them, so they label everyone who does as a terrorist, and have lately started executing such people in the street.

        Who does? You? Are you the only true leftists who determines who is truly a leftist?
