With so much negativity in U.S. politics, take a sec to appreciate the good happening: Recent economic reports show stronger growth in the U.S. with cooling inflation. Legislative strides like the Inflation Reduction Act are underway. Redistricting court rulings are promoting fairer representation, potentially impacting 2024 elections positively. Here's to more balanced political power and economic stability ahead! #USPolitics #PositiveNews
@uspolitics wow, no.
Legislation like the inflation reduction act injected more cash into the economy to actually keep inflation from dropping as quickly as it might have, which itself is a pretty sad statement about US politics.
There are similar issues with the court rulings around districting.
So you're pointing at these things as a break from negativity when really they're just more negative views on the state of the United States.
@volkris sure, but there are positive sides to everything, and it's important to stop an recognize that! That was the point of the post.
@uspolitics I just don't see positivity here.
Less bad is not positive. It's just not as bad.
@volkris keep looking then!
@uspolitics I think part of the problem is that if we push too hard to try to find positivity in otherwise pretty negative situations we end up letting officials off the hook.
Like, the folks running the government right now are really genuinely bad at it. We should stop re-electing them. Then we can have better government.
I want to highlight the negativity front and center so that these people don't get re-elected. Again.
Maybe we would be in a better place now if we did recognize how awful so many of these politicians are back before their elections, so that we would have elected better people, who made better choices, that wouldn't put us in this position in the first place.
The country is being terribly mismanaged right now. I want to highlight that because maybe that way we can get people to vote for better management next time.
