The glaring chasm between the rich and the poor has been around since this country was formed, and it's not going away anytime soon, if at all. The best any president can do is to address the inequity and do all he can to alleviate it, which is what Biden is trying to do, Trump, on the other hand won't give a damn about those struggling people, we saw that first hand during the COVID crisis, he'll just pass through more tax cuts for the wealthy while gnawing away at what freedoms the rest of us still have.

Here is Fact. The wealth disparity was reversed in favor of the lower 90% under Roosevelt and continued until the Reagan tax cuts and 40 years of GOP "trickle down" economics. One Party helps the working class, and one Party ONLY helps the rich.

It’s ridiculous that the Republicans have somehow convinced a large chunk of the working class they support them while doing absolutely nothing. In fact, they continue to remove consumer protections and abolish the Affordable Care Act.
They’ve totally bamboozled their base.

I understand the importance of the current conflict in Gaza. And I understand the concern of many. But Gaza will be very far from the biggest issue in the election. If there is a stable cease fire by the end of summer, it will not be a factor.
I remember when people claimed the withdrawal from Afghanistan would end Biden's Presidency.

If there is a stable peace in Gaza by summer, Qpublicans won't have much to complain about. The economy, perhaps the ultimate barometer of a president's success has been in good shape for months now, so much so that not even GQPers grouse about it, at least I haven't heard any grumbling; other than Madam Howler Monkey, no one's raised a stink about Ukraine funding, and even that's been on the back burner of late, thanks to the Israel-Hamas conflict. That leaves the favorite bogeyman of right wingers everywhere: the border crisis, and already, I've seen attack ads where Biden is accused of letting killers and psychopaths into the country from south of the border to rape and murder innocents. Going into the fall, that, and the ongoing abortion battle will have to be at the very top of Biden's to-do list.

Not completely bamboozled them. Those voters are mostly motivated by hate, it won't bother them to suffer as long as minorities, immigrants and gays suffer right along with them.
