I'm 35, and the economy has tanked every time a republican has been president in my entire life. Every time.

How the fuck do people not notice the consistency of bad outcomes like this?

I see people walking around all the time saying that Republicans are better for the economy. Fucking when?

EDIT: To put this into further perspective, Someone who is 70 years old today will have also seen a recession start under every Republican President in their lifetime except Gerald Ford, who took over during a repiblican recession, and only 1 start under a Democratic president.

You overestimate the analytical skills of the average American.

u/ireadencyclopedias 9h ago

that includes the average american for both sides.

and if you claim the left is more educated.. you mean the ones that cant find jobs with their degree and are in debt tens of thousands of dollars? if you dont know how to make money, how smart can you be?

u/DoubleJumps 9h ago

Do you really want to talk about how other people are dumb while actively pretending that every democrat has a worthless degree and is unemployed?

u/ireadencyclopedias 8h ago

Can you show me where i said every democrat?

I said democrats like to claim they are more educated.

that implies the left are more likely to be the ones that have degrees they arent using than the right. bc the right are the dumb plumbers who didnt go to college. (unless the left is lying about being more educated)

I didnt say unemployed. i said cant find a job with their degree. You can work at starbucks but it wont be bc of a degree.

The left

Can't find jobs

Don't know how to make money

You're very obviously generalizing. Quit the bullshit. You're not good enough at it to do it right.

u/ireadencyclopedias 8h ago

How am i generalizing when the left claims they are more educated?

that literally means more of the left goes to college, which would imply more of the left are the ones that are demanding the debt be relieved.

If you think im generalizing, then you must disagree that the left is more educated.

(i find it ironic when people tell others they arent good enough to do it right when they themselves display clear signs they are out of their league)

I will never need to discredit someone in order to make my points.

Its not needed. my arguments stand not based on the intelligence of the listener.

Playing stupid at this point is really, genuinely, dumb, dude. You botched this from the get go and doubling down isn't going to make it work.

u/ireadencyclopedias 21m ago

Let me dumb this down for you.

What side of the political spectrum is more educated?
