    Terrible argument for what?

    Avoiding a recession was a good thing. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still problems. Sorry if you’d be happier with a job market crash or a housing market crash. But that would be even worse for people.

      It’s a terrible argument to get people to vote for the incumbent party.

      Yes, avoiding a recession was a good thing. Yes, a job market crash would be bad. But telling people “yes, it’s bad, but it could be worse” isn’t going to get them to the polls.

        It’s a terrible position to be in to argue that you are the right person to continue making things better. You have to argue that you’ve done a good job while also acknowledging that more needs to be done.
