Do you think Liberals who voted for Biden have any right to complain about current gas prices and skyrocketing US inflation? ... Or will they just come up with more excuses for why everything sucks right now? "Putin! Trump! Aliens! One of them did it!"

MCheetah here. I'm just posting this "anon" just to give all the people who blocked me a chance to answer as well, since most of them are super-Progressive SJW types. And no, I don't usually post (or like) political questions, but this one's been on my mind all day. I'm not even attacking Biden like so many of you do with Trump long after he's left the White House and has been kicked off of social media.

I just think it's funny how everyone said "anyone but Trump" and you're not even halfway through Biden's term yet. It's only been a year and a half, boys. I don't even own a car or use gas, by the way. I'm personally doing fine, but I know things are bad with many people right now.

Yes, they can complain about them too.

No, they have no right to complain since they chose Biden.

Update, since some people don't seem to get it:

I'm not saying "Biden did everything related to gas prices and inflation in America," but the Biden Administration has made things *exponentially worse* directly due to their decisions of spending trillions during COVID lockdown, sitting on oil reserves, and discontinuing the Keystone pipeline because of some false environmentalist arguments.

So do you have the right to still complain?

[StevieNix]

They have every right to complain, because no one wanted Biden. Biden was installed.
I've asked a question on this site asking Biden voters why they voted for him. This is the answer: "He's not Trump" Seriously? This is how lame the Dems are? OK, I get that they hate Trump because he is mean, but why Biden?

I then ask who voted for Biden in the primaries. Apparently nobody did. They all wanted Bernie, Tulisi or Yang. No one wanted sleepy Joe. But somehow sleepy Joe beat out the 24 more competent candidates. It was like magic, and the Dems accept this. And don't even get me started on Kamala. She was the first of the 25 candidates to wash out in the primaries, and most likely this witch will be the president after this fall's blood bath that turns the house and senate red.

If the Dems were just voting against Trump, I get it. But then why not at least put up a candidate with a working brain? Because the DNC didn't want a candidate with a working brain; they wanted Joe. He's easy to control, and everything "he" does, is destroying America. Perfect.

[Asker]

"They have every right to complain, because no one wanted Biden" along with everything else you said on here, is MHO worthy.

As a business major, I can tell you that the presidents policies do little to significantly affect gas prices. The Keystone pipeline did raise prices, but not to the astronomical amount people suggest.

Events in one country can and do have rippling effects world wide with gas prices. Supply and demand is also a major factor. Factor in the cost of getting gas and oil to their destinations.

Right now, in Europe, gas prices are quite a bit higher than here in the US and they don't have Biden.

There are countries in Sputh America (again, no Biden) where the price per gallon is significantly lower than in the US because demand for gas there is lower.

I've looked at too many reports and analysis to keep entertaining the Biden = higher gas price argument

[Asker]

Yes, but the gas prices are higher in Europe because they DIRECTLY relied n Russia for oil, and then cut themselves off entirely when Putin invaded Ukraine. If they didn't rely so heavily on Russia, then would be much better off the US right now.

Obviously, gas prices and inflation would happen in places outside the US, but the US is being hit the hardest right now out of any first world nation BECAUSE of the Biden Administration. They are not 100% to blame and I never said they were; but much of it IS due to them, and most of the inflation is directly due to them, due to spending trillions of dollars while Americans were forced out of work BY THEM! The Biden Administration discontinued the pipelines and sat on oil reserves, even giving some to Ukraine.

So no, I'm not saying "Biden did everything" related to gas prices and inflation, but the Biden Administration has made things exponentially worse directly due to their decisions, inflation far more so than gas prices.

That's not even my question, anyway. But considering things were made WORSE by Biden, and would've been far better without him, do the Liberals that voted for him have any right to complain when his team threw the gasoline onto the fire.

[Sirenboobzilla]

Directly answering your question, yes. I do believe people who voted for Biden have every right to complain. Because that's what you do with elected leaders; you hold them accountable for everything and I mean EVERYTHING. However, these need to be done with education. And that's something that this country sorely lacks

[Sirenboobzilla]

Not to say your arguments fall in that category. I actually like that you take the extra time to cite your sources

[Asker]

They have the right to complain. Fair enough. Thank you.

[burlen]

Poster seems to lack knowledge of basic economics 101. Poster does not know how inflation is measured. They think oil is the only item in the basket of goods and services used to measure inflation.

If only the poster could educate themselves of the various items that are used to measure inflation.

[exitseven]

if America was still energy independent or even better if they were a net exporter of energy the country would be much better off and gas prices will be lower.

[Agagagagaga]

The same people believe the president has nothing to do with any of it.

He conveniently has no power to do anything on the economy when people are talking about how abysmally shitty things are, yet they will turn around and give him credit on the economy for every little thing possible. It’s hypocrisy.

[Asker]

Yes. And the sad thing is, it doesn't take much to find things out for yourself. I've argued with many on here, providing them evidence and counter points, and all they do is ignore it all and lick Biden's anus, anyway. Almost every argument on here amounts to "Well, the rest of the world is doing bad, as well." Even though I pointed out the US is the fourth worst suffering country on the planet right now with inflation and gas prices and gave the exact reasons why and how the Biden administration directly contributed to that.

But you're implication is right. Why am I arguing with people with their heads this deep in the sand?

[FilmGuy93]

I think you have to assign different levels of responsibility to different people. The average American has no clue what they're voting for; those people can't be blamed. They voted for Biden because the media lied to them and made them scared of allowing Trump to continue holding office. They've never been given a reason to distrust the media before, so none of this is their fault.

People with advanced political science degrees and members of the media, on the other hand? Those assholes know better. There is no excuse for them. They took leave of their sense to push a political ideology and I have no patience for people like that.

[tommyvegas7618]

I think it's stupid to put all of the worlds issues on one guy as if he's made of magic or something. An intelligent person could factor in a lot of scenarios and things that have happened and deduce why things are the way they are. Lets not forget, Biden was handed a sinking ship when he took office. Trump would have been in a similar if not worse scene, IMHO, and actually is the one who really set it up to be exponentially worse.

[Asker]

"Or will they just come up with more excuses for why everything sucks right now? Putin! Trump! Aliens! One of them did it!"

I called it. And yet another Progressive I blocked for insulting other, blaming Trump, and offering no counterarguments or anything intelligent or useful to say.

It's not the Biden Administration's fault... Despite the fact that everything was fine two years ago when Trump was still in office? Despite the fact the US was more prepared for this than any other First World country, yet are still suffering the hardest? Oh, but when things are going right, THEN Biden is the one to credit for, right?

"An intelligent person could factor in a lot of scenarios and things that have happened and deduce why things are the way they are."

Too bad you're not one. Read the update. Or just choose to ignore it again and blame Trump.

[burlen]

According to the poster, the current inflation in the US was caused by the president. It's like saying the rising inflation in the UK, France, Germany, etc. now is caused by their respective governments.

Won't it be a good thing for one's personal development to educate oneself of the causes of inflation, including demand-side and supply-side of inflation? Won't it be nice to also educate oneself of the role of monetary policy in managing inflation?

[Asker]

"According to the poster, the current inflation in the US was caused by the president."

No, I didn't say that. I said, the CURRENT situation the US is in, is due to the Biden administration and that the people who voted for him have no right to complain about gas being $7 a gallon in America right now. The gas prices are largely due to Biden, but not 100%. While inflation is MOSTLY due to Biden for spending trillions of dollars while also keeping people out of work last year. Or did you now see the charts?

If people who weren't out to intentionally destroy America were in charge right now, things would've still taken a hit due to Russia, but would not be nearly as catastrophic as they are now. Almost all of the inflation is directly Biden's fault, and the gas prices would've been minimized if Biden didn't cancel the Keystone pipeline because a bunch of incorrect hippies didn't whine about it.

[Asker]

Also nice to see yet another leftist say some snide, self-projecting remark without actually counter-arguing anything. Just lick Biden's balls while the house is burning down, and call it a day. At least I have another idiot on here I now know to avoid.

[exitseven]

Let them complain. They must feel pretty stupid by now, especially since Biden said how he was going to bankrupt the middle class when he was campaigning. Maybe they just did not believe he would do it.

[JamesRandiDebates]

The most far left liberals aren't even complaining. They are defending potato Joe and blaming the oil companies.

[Asker]

These comments here certainly seem to be proof of that. I mean, how brainwashed do you have to be, to still be defending Biden, at this point? You'd rather go broke and hungry, than admit Biden f'cked up? These people are complete jokes.

[Guffrus]

Right because you pay more for fuel than anyone else in the world and inflation is a problem specific to the US right now.

Oh wait, that isn't true at all.

I guess that means you are retarded huh?

(spoiler alert: this wasn't a surprise to me)

[Asker]

Ah, here's one of the SJW's who *I* blocked.

Argentina. Russia. Turkey. America. The four worst countries in the world for inflation and gas prices right now. It took me seconds to Google this. America is not currently involved in a war, hasn't had inflation and debt going on since 2017 like Turkey, and has oil pipelines it could use to combat gas prices, but *someone* chose not to continue building them. Just two years ago, the US didn't have these problems. Only other country that also didn't was Russia.

I double checked this right now. It's called Google. It doesn't take an 80 or above IQ to use it. But what do I know, I'm a SMRT-boi like Biden and Guffrus, right?

[Guffrus]

Oh and regarding the pipeline, that was cancelled because the proposed route would be illegally destorying natural habitats etc.

All you have to do is route the pipe differently and the problem goes away, of course you would already know this if you bothered to look it up but you dont want to do that because it doesn't fit with your narrative.

[Asker]

The idea that it would "be illegally destroying natural habitats" is complete bullcrap. They wouldn't even be allowed to legally build it if it did. Of course you would already know this if you bothered to look it up, but you don't want to do that because it doesn't fit your Progressive, Clown World, retard, brainwashed, "everything is istaphobic" narrative of male feminists, soyboys, and sex predators all thorough the Current Year political left.

Also nice to see you ignored everything else I said too, because you don't feel like admitting being wrong, or that you have no f'ckin' clue what you're talking about.

Just blame it on Trump like you guys always do and call it a day.

[Asker]

Does this mean I get to cancel you for being a toxic male-feminist neckbeard now? Just going to go make a few copies of these and post them around the internet. Thanks!


"Guffrus-the-male-feminist-incel. jpg"

Also, I've had you blocked for who-knows-how-long now. I don't even remember you. I just see the red block circle under your scroll-over profile. I already stated my name and who I am on here, MCheetah, so I'm not even really anonymous.

I'm just allowing people like you to post, and show the world what kind of "intelligence" you have as 42 year old neckbeard still drinking the leftist Kool-Aid.

So again, thanks for that. A lot of bluster and not a single thing of value spoken. Truly, a great contribution to humanity Mr. Guffrus. A man truly valuable to mankind, society, and GirlsAskGuys!

[Guffrus]

and yet you wonder why I say you should kill yourself.

[Guffrus]

Well I wouldn't like to think that I wasn't being open minded about this so perhaps you could explain this oil pipe line thing to me from your perspective, as you see it.

I'm not particularly invested in this, it was a story, I looked it up the explanation given was that the pipeline was routed through protected habitat and thats why it was shut down. The is nothing difficult to understand about that or far fetched, some guy breaks the rules for a pay day or to help his mates or class interest or maybe he just doesn't give a shit about the environment and thought it might help him in some way, whatever, it doesn't really matter.

But now your position seems very different to me, because if you are saying that the pipeline was not cancelled because of the environmental issue then what is it that you are saying exactly? What is the motivation supposed to be? That Biden hates Americans having oil?

That doesn't make any sense, so what is it that you think exactly?

[jshm2]

Yes. As they are clearly better informed than dullards like you - who just posts shit you found on the internet without thinking about sources.

[Asker]

Another retarded leftist who acts like a manchild past middle-age, that I blocked with no substance and nothing to argue. Just insult people and rebuke nothing. So that's what I'm going to do to you.

[NamerOfStars]

Of course. It was a damn stupid decision, but it's not like ALL of the blame for high gas prices falls on him. Fairness, now.

[Asker]

Never said it was 100% his fault. Just the majority.

[Anonymous]

They have absolutely no right to complain. It's OK though, Biden won't get a second term. And the Republicans will have both the house and the senate.. We will right the wrongs that these worthless pieces of shit have brought on this country.

[Soteris]

USA has a president, not a king. The president does not dictate gas prices.

[Asker]

Biden chose not to continue the Keystone pipeline because of the angry environmentalists (who's anger was unjustified as there were no real "environmental concerns"). He also chose NOT to use the millions of oil reserves they are currently sitting on (hell, some of them got shipped to Ukraine, BEFORE use in the US).

www.cnbc.com/.../...stone-xl-pipeline-project.html

www.reuters.com/.../

So he literally DOES dictate gas prices directly based on his actions. And inflation is even more obvious when you're spending trillions of dollars on BS and pork during the middle of a global pandemic and shutdown of the economy.

[Soteris]

Keystone XL pipeline is meant to have Canadian oil bypass USA and exit into the international markets. Oil producers are also sitting on plenty of claims that they are not using because they do not want to increase production and lower the price of oil that their current wells are producing.

[Anonymous]

No, they have no right to complain since they chose Biden.

[Redstang88]

It’s a global problem dude, not just the US

[Asker]

I'm just going to copy-paste what I said below.

"Argentina. Russia. Turkey. America. The four worst countries in the world for inflation and gas prices right now. It took me seconds to Google this. America is not currently involved in a war, hasn't had inflation and debt going on since 2017 like Turkey, and has oil pipelines it could use to combat gas prices, but *someone* chose not to continue building them.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You blocked me a long time ago for some reason

[Asker]

You're a legitimate racist. Not what leftists call "racist." A real one.

[WhiteBoyChill]

In what way?
