“Just once” sounds like it opens the door for more than just once.

It’s also a really specific use case. I can’t imagine it being that useful to its target audience: authors. Ultimately, it relies heavily upon the premise of the user’s lack of self-control and does so to their detriment.

Like it or not, but he didn’t cheat. He won by playing the economy card.

People have this false sense of immediacy that causes them to believe that the current president is responsible for the economy from beginning to end of term. What they don’t realize is that the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly; the current president really only begins to affect change after the first year of the presidency. Biden had to recover from the massive sinkhole the pandemic caused, and succeeded. The main problem is that company executives kept their inflated prices, and weren’t forced to do otherwise.

People see this, and jump straight to the conclusion that Biden is responsible for the increase in price of their groceries.

Anyone other than the Republican and Democratic nominees are not giving said nominees a “run for their money”, and should be treated exactly as what they are: a distraction.
