        Technically correct. We hit 100% debt/GDP ratio in 2012. This headline is intended to manipulate you into thinking something that happened over a decade ago just happened.

        We actually crossed 125% under Trump in 2020.

            Absolutely nobody is perfect and still almost everyone would be better as president than trump or his buddies.

              NO ONE SAID TRUMP WAS BETTER.

              You never want democrats to do anything but get worse and lose.

                I’m not American. I don’t really care about the broken two party rubbish they have.

                I just want America to stop messing up so many things that make the whole world worse than it already is.

                  So do I. But we can’t do that with one fascist party and one party that keeps appeasing fascists and losing.

                  So “at least they’re second worst to trump now never criticize them” isn’t helpful.

                    I agree.

                    I still don’t know how you came to the conclusion that I cared about the Democratic party.

                    Trum is measurably the worst and as a first step I would prefer anything less horrible.

                    Because hoping for a sudden true and proper party to emerge from nothing is pointless wishful thinking

            Democrats vote for the bills but are innocent

            Democrats don’t fix it when in office but are still innocent

            And if you have a memory longer than a good fish you’re a paid actor.
