You can’t argue with vibes but this is just vibes. Or the poster just wasn’t around in 2008.
it was bad, but unemployment is absolutely worse now than the numbers show, layoffs are increasing - also cost of living is skyrocketed so even those with jobs are struggling too

I wouldnt say one is "worse" than the other, but way more people are struggling than in 2008

It doesn't make you a better or worse person to read one or the other, but it strikes me as a kind of aesthetic nihilism. Like the equivalent of saying there is no such thing as morality because people don't have precisely identical intuitions.

I have a strong feeling a lot of folks are going to forget how they behaved during the last decade in the same way a lot of folks forgot who they voted for in 1968 and 1972.

This point is part of why I find the occasional "Leftists grudgingly respected Biden as president before Gaza" argument to be not just ahistorical, but completely bizarre. It is a thunderous roar of thousands, demanding I accept a reality I lived through is false, and substitute in one they prefer.

Biden pre and post Oct 7 is a dichotomy fit to drive you truly insane.
Bro burned the world for an obsession with destroying Gaza. Before Oct 7 he was doing so much meat & potatoes good governance. I used to go to repro health conferences hosted by him or Harris or his wife now it's all on fire.

You want to stay home forever? I HATE that, but sure, that's an opinion that isn't just an over lie. But "Republicans are better on rights issues" is so false that it can only be lies. Probably opportunistic lies for some kind of grift. No one could *possibly* believe that.

This is also completely ahistorical because before gay marriage happened nationwide it became legal in California and then was rolled back by prop 8 and this happened in a number of states. This *hasn’t* happened with trans rights in any blue states, so we’re actually ahead

As someone that grew up on tumblr the “DEMS AGREED TO THIS” bullshit is because they learned issues still exist. They are bitter that social issues exist and they blame Democrats for “not fight hard enough to solve the issues”

People love threatening to murder people for legally riding bikes. Of course drivers regularly hit cyclists riding in painted bike lanes or shoulders. It's almost like motorists don't need any excuse to inflict violence upon bicyclists.

Similar posts have been excused as edgy jokes, but they're clearly not. At best, it should be embarrassing to you to be associated with this kind of edgelord cosplay. More embarrassing and undignified still to go "mods, mods, I spill my jice!" after one of these people gets suspended.

No, they’re spinning them up quickly because they’re doing a bad job of it. Gas turbines that are belching pollution into communities, tremendous externalities that are driving the backlash. If you want to create infrastructure you have to build it to last and this is not a model for that.

Because his judicial appointments sealed the deal? Obviously? What are we doing here?
Also, why do people give Obama credit for marriage equality? If the Supreme Court hadn't ruled on it, then gay marriage would absolutely still be illegal in like half the country. No doubt in my mind.

And nobody wanted to talk about how local officials didn't take the days of NHC warnings about severe flooding and catastrophic mudslides in the Appalachians nearly as seriously as they should have, which slowed down disaster response. FEMA isn't first responders, and first responders weren't ready.
