It’s so funny how in ancient times, people would pray and make sacrifices to the gods in order to have a better harvest; or they thought a bad harvest was the fault of some deity. What simpletons!

Anyway here’s my rant about why Joe Biden is to blame for our economy (or why he’s the savior of our economy, works for either).

fr though, so many Americans attribute the performance of the economy to a singular person. The ones who think they’re really smart will say “no no that’s ridiculous, it’s the fault of one of the two parties”. Absolutely no one sees the broader forces at play other than us Marxists.

But that’s how bourgeois democracy is designed, right? The government serves to obfuscate the role of capital so the people think it’s all “the government”.

Exactly. "Government" is the scapegoat. That's how you can over time con people into believing that "the market" is always right and provides the best solutions.
