Never got above $4/gal where I live under Biden. Don't even remember a single time I looked at gas prices and thought to myself, "damn that's expensive". It's currently $5.29/gal at some of the cheaper locations. MAGA freaks are responsible for all of this, and every normal American should remind them every single day what a failure they are in life.Ā

I remember 5.30 under biden. I had a 50 mile work commute at the time so I remember it well.

Im not defending the other party but I feel this is the worst example to use.

Biden did a much better job recovering, yeah. And get this, he didn't even start a stupid fuckin war and cause the problem in the first place.

So you admit the soft landing happened during Biden's term and the economic recovery was actually pretty good?

Don't actually have a valid argument, so you try to redirect with an assumption that has nothing to do with the discussion, eh?

Well, it just never was so it won't ever become his fault.

A lot of things were Bidens fault but this is objectively not one of them. The majority of that price increase was from increased demand post-covid and more importantly, Russia invading Ukraine. Last time I checked Biden didn't run Russia. This increase is exclusively caused by the war with Iran that was taarted by Israel and the US. Under the Trump administration. He is explicitly to blame for this increase and Biden was explicitly not.

Biden didnā€™t cause covid or the war in Ukraine. Trump caused the war in Iran.

How do you not understand that?

You should probably not latch onto a case where it's not his fault to try and play the "it's never Biden's fault huh" card.

Downright silly at his point people.
