Put aside your personal tastes and opinions for just a moment. Now, can you answer whether America is better off under Joe Biden? Be specific. All your points must be measurable, not vague, inchoate or unmeasurable. In what ways are Americans better off? Now, can you name any ways that the US is worse off? If you are struggling with TDS, write two columns and turn this into a decision tree. And then make a choice.
An honest decision tree shows that America is worse off in the following categories: energy, with gas doubling in price as Biden asks other countries to pump more oil; Foreign relations is in collapse as the Afghan exit leaves Americans behind while we ignored agreements with allies; The economy is struggling as near 9 million jobs are unfilled given government overpaying Covid benefits and soon millions more will be fired for not being vaccinated;
Covid mandates are decimating entire industries while the government demands those with natural immunity be vaxxed, including the military which becomes more woke and therefore -- less deadly, everyday; Meanwhile, untested millions enter America illegally, many criminals, to sicken residents and sop up welfare and housing; Taxes are skyrocketing for no apparent reason leading to sustained inflation; as Democrats herniate themselves to spend $7 trillion in pork barrel, etc, etc…
Now, on the other hand...what is the upside of Biden’s win? One can only claim that Biden winning means Trump is not in the White House. But, since every policy of Trump’s that Biden changed has been a colossal disaster, this well explains today’s Biden poll of 36% approval amongst Independents. No need to go on, is there?
