    Seems like a deliberate attempt to manufacture consent for the purported end of the pandemic in front of millions of viewers on national TV. I know I’m just stating the obvious, but wouldn’t want to remind people about how thousands of people are still dying from COVID in the US in the most recent weeks or how 800,000 people have officially died from COVID under the Biden administration (which the Biden admin continually tries to attribute to the Trump admin when they’re both complicit).

    I mean the overwhelming majority of people (including most leftists) already treat it as over, but ya know.

        Like how can you possibly argue that you don’t want socialism solely because of the deaths it may or may not cause when we have a perfect example of an economic logic that kills as a rule

      idk, basically everyone stopped taking covid seriously at some point in 2020/2021. do we really need to manufacture consent for this? I think it’s just more bragging to get a W since the Democrats don’t exactly have very many of those going into this election cycle.
