This is current US fuel prices while Joe Biden is in office.  If you look at the graft, you will see the US gas prices have never been this high, except for the days when B.Obama was in office (another democratic pres).  As if no one knew it was coming again, under Joe Biden :laughpound

For those whining about gas prices and probably never thought ahead and bought anything other than a gas guzzling dually to drive 30 miles to work, here's a thread that might change where you point the finger...oh wait this will never be read let alone understood.  It's easier just to throw a hissy fit.

Yeah, but I don't want to believe any of this is true. I'd rather just lob Biden's name at the problem and continue to vote Republican.

It is almost like we. At least it isn't 1975-1980 levels.

With the price of a gallon of crude oil spiking, you’ll be reading and seeing lots of reports about gasoline prices setting records in the United States.

That’s true up to a point, but mostly not true. The difference is how you account for inflation.

Nominal prices — the number you see on the gas pump when you’re filling up — are hitting what appear to be unprecedented levels. As of Tuesday morning, the American Automobile Assn. pegged the national average at $4.173 a gallon and the California average at $5.444.

When accounting for inflation, however, today’s prices are still about 20% below the 2008 peak on the national level and 7% below the California record that year.

The problem with being a Democrat is that we understand the world is full of challenging and complex problems.  To understand those problems takes a nuanced understanding of the prevailing situations behind those problems, to confront them takes a methodological approach that often takes time to bear fruit. 

 

The average voter cannot handle this information overload. They have personal lives and issues - like paying bills. A distilled message of "blame Biden" is simple. Democrats need to dumb down their message, call gas prices a hoax by China, and collect those sweet votes.

Apparently the commoners can’t understand what’s going on. Only the elite Democrats know what’s happening and know how to understand “nuance”.  LOL 

Well, anyone who constantly claims "gas prices are high and it's all Biden's fault" are proving that statement true.

I agree to an extent but then you hear the mental gymnastics Republicans and Trump supporters do to absolve their side when they are in office and it makes me question this line of thinking.
