Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I looked it up, and supposedly gas peaked at $5 under Biden, but I don't know when that was, and it must not have lasted very long. I know for a fact that it was a point of pride that I had never paid over $3.99 per gallon until Trump came along.
Besides, how does that Biden-blaming work? So if gas got to $9 under Biden, does that mean MAGAs are okay with it going to 8.99?
I assume they were pissed at Biden when it got over $3-4, right? So how come if it was bad when Biden did it, it's okay for Trump to do it? This idea of: "So what if inflation/ unemployment/ etc is way up, it was worse under Biden!" is a really illogical argument. You hated it under Biden enough that you just had to allow a proven traitor and pedophile back into the job, but now it's all okay? It seems like everything bad is okay, as long as it isn't as bad as Biden, but if it gets worse than Biden, it's still okay, because that's Biden's fault, too.
Haven't these people ever heard that two wrongs don't make a right?
You've put way more thought i to this than they do. They are just delusional amd think things are great now and things are cheaper when they aren't.
If you put it in context of a sports team it makes way more sense. What he's trying to do is say "dude look at your favorite team's averages, they're terrible." No one's gonna listen to that and they'll just find any cope they can because it's their favorite team and the other team is really boring and lame so they can't be right.
