As Boca’s pointed out nicely, inflation is being completely misstated in this interactive propaganda piece you responded to. Also, inflation had already kicked in when Biden took office. And inflation has in fact been very tame in the US compared with the developed world in total.

I mean, the US economy is statistically the envy of the world right now. I agree that the first bout of inflation this century, meaning so many never experienced it before, weighs down voter sentiment. That’s life in politics. Doesn’t really mean voters should accept obvious propaganda to justify an unwillingness to vote for the clear “lesser evil” in a race providing a binary choice.

Old and left of center seems infinitely less damaging than “dictator for a day” who thinks the constitution can be overridden to install him in power, and who is telling us that he will sweep the entire executive branch of civil servants, and replace them with loyalists…to him.

I just don’t see how you can rationally blame Biden for global inflation already in gear when he took his oath of office, without crediting him for an economy that’s stronger than any other in the developed world. Particularly with his opponent clearly telling us about his autocratic plans if elected. I can understand recognizing that presidents have only so much to do with free market economies, tempering both credit and blame, but that should lead to the same conclusion for your Nov vote.
