I laugh at these embedded fact-checking mechanisms liberals assumed would stop Trump and Q-anon in their tracks, being used to undermine Biden. Must suck to suck.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Stop trying to make “Bidenomics” a thing, it’s never going to be a thing
At least Abenomics rolled off the tongue. Please respect the aerodynamics of my tongue liberals.

Oh, Abe just rolls off something

Yooo, we have the Shinzonator as an emoji? This site keeps gettin' better and better
It would've worked in the 40s or whatever boomer era Biden is from.
Idk what you mean insisting to the 2/3rds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck that the economy is great and if you dont agree you're a Trump supporter seems like a really great electoral strategy.
Pretending to give a shit about the economy worked for the Republicans for decades. I honestly think enthusiastically insisting that everything is fine and it's all in your head is a smart strategy for the Dems.
the community notes are such a fucking banger. no need to retweet, just tag and shame

linking a post to reddit where it is screenshoted from Twitter where someone added context to it from another website to contest the claim. pretty much making it impossible to find the source. perfectly sound to draw the conclusion.
it's not hard to find the sources, it's an incredibly prominent BLS measurement.
They are correct, march 2020 to now there has been a slight decrease in real average wages (which isn't even the best measure tbh but it's what biden used). Sure, if you go back earlier, to the months before the pandemic, then it's a slight increase, but not by a whole lot.
More to the point: Biden, in my opinion, implies a sort of economic recovery, as though the pandemic tanked wages and now his policies are have brought them through to recovery. That is not the case. Here's what the graph looks like:
we are back where we started, essentially. nothing has fundamentally changed.
Great work. What's BLS?

Thank you

I’m not making fun, relearning how to use search engines because of the new internet is some bullshit.
It's called advanced dynamic posting, it's a sage level inception technique designed to remind the viewer that sources are for nerds
wages is higher
