Trump understands FPTP systems better than many here it seems.

Hu? It’s literally in the comment starting this thread…

Is that why I was fired

When you nitpick grammar and spelling, you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

And if you’re gonna do it, at least make sure it was actually wrong lol.

No one in this thread actually wants answers to their questions. They wanna bitch and moan. What are you thinking?

Not sure who down voted you

Anyone who thought it was kind of stupid to bring up their getting fired as if it’s a response to income statistics.

Come on back when you have some data. Byeee

That’s crazy how the post is about income vs inflation and their comment is about “economics”.

The post is about numbers. Ones which, if they told a story of doom and gloom, you’d presumably completely agree with.

This is great stuff. Thanks for taking my original comment further than I thought it would go. Truly brings me back to arguing with conservatives about COVID numbers. I’m just disappointed there’s no equivalent here for walking into a hospital demanding to see patients.

Hmmm…

Looking beyond the average, production/non-supervisory workers—roughly the bottom 82% of the wage distribution—started seeing positive real wage growth two months earlier in March 2023, now 14 months in a row (not shown).

Between 2019 and 2023, low-wage workers experienced historically fast real wage growth. The 10th percentile real hourly wage grew 12.1% over the four-year period. This tremendous real wage growth at the lower end of the wage distribution was exceptional, significantly faster than in any other business cycle peak since 1979.

But keep replying please because I could put your exact comments in the COVID threads I was arguing in back then. It’s uncanny. It’s the exact same shit conservatives say when data doesn’t support their preconceived idea.

Sure, and they both drink water.

But one is outside the norm making things much worse while the other wants to make them much better.

They’re opposites in my mind.

This is hilarious because I’ll tell you the exact same thing I told conservatives during COVID:

I’ll take data over your anecdotes, thanks.

Voted for Trump but loves Bernie?

Please help me square the circle here.

ITT: I haven’t personally experienced it so this is not true.

I wonder if y’all realize how like conservatives you are sometimes.

Yeah I don’t want to just see content from people I agree with. Guess I’m crazy.

Linkerbaan logic:

3rd parties who are lucky to get 5% of the vote can win.

Biden, who won against Trump last time cannot win.

Lol

I’m glad we finally got to you admitting 3rd parties won’t win.

Thanks.

Those must be the Jewish space lasers Dipshit was talking about.

He is one of two possibilities.

And you’re not going to bet because you know it too.

And now we know you’re not ignorant to this fact. You’re encouraging 3rs party votes knowing very well they will not win.

I’m sitting here trying to convince you that FPTP results in a two party system. I’m betting on the two parties.

YOU are the one imagining that can change by simply voting 3rd party.

So, you down for a bet or what?

The system exists as it is…. I don’t know any other way to say this. FPTP has a spoiler problem that you can’t wish away.

I’m not going to vote for a candidate that’s going to get maybe 2-5% of the vote.

I would like to bet you $1000 that either the Dem or Rep candidate will win. If anyone BUT those two win, I would pay you.

If you ACTUALLY believed anyone else will win, you’d take me up on it. What do you say?
