I gotta ask, why do the Dems keep letting the inflation caused by Powell's money printing press fall in Biden's lap? That makes no sense. Powell and the Fed created this inflation with their loose monetary policies, not Biden.
Just like Nixon created the stagflation of the 70s when he took the dollar off the gold standard. Carter had nothing to with that and stagflation was already nearly 6 years old by the time he took office, but for some reason the Dems let him take the fall for that too.
Why is this? I must know.
Because it doesn't matter. No matter what is happening in the country, Fox is going to blame Biden and the dumbest 80% of conservatives are going to parrot it. You cannot argue irrationality with rationality. You just have to ignore it and quarantine the infected.

You missed the point entirely. It isn't just Fox and the conservatives, it's everyone. And the Dems are allowing it. Spreading it even, by keeping quiet. They need to push back. They need to point the finger at the Fed. They need to spread the message that the Fed is corrupt and politicized and lowered rates, first to try to get Trump re-elected, and then kept them too low for too long in order to drive up inflation and harm the mid-terms for the Dems. Low rates also caused a massive redistribution of wealth to the rich.
While the Dems were arguing the usual issues of gun control, UHC, and social justice, the GOP picked our pockets and got away with blaming the Dems for it... again. Wake up.

Continuous crappy messaging by the DNC. Gotta keep those moderates from bolting.

I didn't realize non-r's we're blaming Biden for anything. I guess stupidity just runs deep in the US.

Democratic national leadership is too old and too tired to message effectively...Schumer, Murray, Durbin, Hoyer, Clyburn, Pelosi, et al. Common sense demands generational change in party leadership.

To be fair, for some crazy reason Biden did renominate Powell.

Its telling that you're like "gun control after a classroom of children got murdered, lulz, social justice, ha!, health care, fuck that!" talk about the money!!!

No one epitomizes that more than Vic. People like him wanted this moderate shit messaging and now they're not happy when they're finally having to face the realities that they enabled.

For some added explanation, Vic said he'd vote for Turmp over Elizabeth Warren.
