I’m disagreeing. Even though Clinton was the last president to decrease the debt when he left office.
But as a liberal, I’m not worried about the National Debt if they’d just cut military spending, which is like saying you wanna kill a baby now, since 9/11.
We need forgiveness from China, not tariffs.

Bill Clinton’s success was the beginning of the end of bipartisanship in Federal politics. He made the economy as strong as it had been since the 50s and was the last president to leave office with less national debt. He wouldn’t have been able to do so without Republicans voting for his policies.
GOP strategist saw this, and pretty much since have went out of their way to block any potential progress from a Democratic president to keep them closer to unpopularity.
Obama was the first Dem to be a victim of this. But that guy could negotiate his ass off and was able to bounce back from the 08 recession rather quickly and ended his term with a positive economy.
Biden was too damn old to fight back or compromise, and didn’t have nearly as many votes as Obama to ignore the GOP with his reconciliation bill.
If more people online actually knew about civics and the inner working of political strategies, they’d realize just how much progress the GOP has blocked within the last 30 years.

Yeah social media has been a gift and curse. Not the internet as a whole. People having the ability to find more critical thinking political discussion online is great.
Only problem is, the right online is like FOX News on steroids.

The southern strategy yeah. But post Reagan, the Republican Party had been trying to be more inclusive. Bush made it a point to have more diversity in his cabinet. Hell after the 2012 election, FOX News was even saying “Maybe America Dosent Care About Immigration, we need to pivot”.
We made so much social progress during the Obama years man. Then trump came in and brought out the worst in our country.

Republicans literally add to the debt everytime they’re elected.

China is the only Asian country with significant 1st world economic growth. South Korea is stagnant and Japan’s youth isn’t working as hard as previous generations.
Why the hell would you abandon all of Europe for that?

You don’t think the N64 wasn’t innovative with the analog stick ON THE CONTROLLER? I was a dumb kid who thought arcade joysticks couldn’t fit on a controller so that’s why we used DPADS 😭. Seeing a joystick the size the tip of my finger was crazy for the time.

Pretty much agree with everything you said. A VR Printer Console sounds so dope though 😂. I can ironically see something like that being made. Idk how it’d work, but count me in
- Comment on Is the Nintendo Switch 2 the end of innovative consoles? 4 weeks ago:
That’s a good way at looking At it
- Comment on Is the Nintendo Switch 2 the end of innovative consoles? 4 weeks ago:
Agreed, consoles will never be able to compete with PC in terms of power. So a gimmick really helps.
