I imagine in a country where most people have to work two or three jobs in order to live, there might be a dearth of optimism about the future.
Add on to that whole generations of people shackled with lifetime debt over student loans and watching Biden's government do nothing meaningful about escalating housing scarcity, and the problem is compounded.
The big priorities for Biden seem to be making up ways to get more of our money dumped into Ukraine and keeping his asshole son out of prison.
When we inaugurate an open fascist in 2025, you'll have Biden to blame.
That number is 5.1% of all employed Americans, a far cry from "most". Here's the source.
That's enough to sway the delicate balance between Trump and Biden though.
Not that Trump will actually solve this but he tends to resonate with those people. I don't know how people with nary a cent to spare think a billionare has their best interests at heart but anyway.
Oh, I won't dispute that at all. I'm more concerned about a comment making a completely false claim. 5% matters but so does telling the truth in your comments.
