2024 Presidential Election

Ok, we get it. Trump acknowledged that grocery prices are high. And he said he's going to bring them down. But he didn't explain how (other than the insanely stupid idea of tariffs). Harris laid out a plan to stop price gouging, because that's the root problem of all this. It may have started as inflation, now it's just corporate greed. And who do you think is better poised to help with that? Her problem is that she laid out a plan. When you have a plan, it can be criticized. When you make generalities, people just nod their heads and say "yea, this guy gets me!".

Way over half of our country has lost critical thinking skills, and has forgotten to ask "why" and "how". When somebody makes a sensational claim, you say "that sounds great, whats your plan? How are you going to achieve that?". I learned that sometime in middle school (in the 49th ranked state for education).

Can you show me a video where she laid out her plan in detail with her own words? I haven't seen it. And i've been here for the last several months soaking in what y'all have been trying to sell. Her campaign was in itself a word salad followed by "details are on the website".

She didn't have a plan.

If one has heard of the law of supply and demand, then it shouldn't take much common sense to know you need to stop inflation by figuring out how to raise the supply. For a simple way as to how if farmers are still being paid to not grow something, then it should stop.

The 2024 Republican Party Platform is short of hows for its lofty goals. No wonder it reads like much of it was written or approved by Trump.
 
Yes. I know how compounding interest works, and it is why my retirement accounts are and will continue to be super happy about Bidenomics (>30% gain for the last year will compound going forward). That's also why people that compare prices now to 2019 or before are always going to be disappointed.

The Fed should have raised rates a solid year before they did. If they actually acted instead of claiming it would be temporary, this would have stayed under control and we wouldn't have had the spike we did over a couple years.

The danger with trying to get a period of deflation at this point is it becomes self sustaining and is very hard to regulate. That's why the fed targets 2% vs nearly 0. That way if they error low, they aren't at risk of crossing 0.

Don't get me wrong, I was PISSED about inflation, but I'd rather it be controlled and return to stable and my paycheck raise to match than them to try to undo all the price rises that have already happened and risk collapsing it all.
Cherry picking is fun but not relevant. 25% gain in the last three years is meh.

The market corrects so should inflation.
 
Rump's promises: I'm gonna deport all illegal immigrants, not sure how the hell that will happen, but it will be beautiful; I'm going to raise tariffs 900% and you won't pay more for stuff (LOL, these fools) no ones ever done this before, but I'm a genius; I'm gonna lower taxes (whispers: for the filthy rich)(thought: these idiots are soaking this up); I'm gonna do away with climate regulations cuz climate change is a hoax just like COVID was (I had the flu); I will end the wars in Ukraine and middle east in three days, just like I...I mean Jesus raised from dead in 3 days; I will pardon the Jan. 6 PATRIOTS and have Elon give each one $1 million; I have never heard of Project 2025 (wink, wink); and Elon will give all of my voters $2....
 
I'm not getting my video of Kamla going into detail about lower food cost am I?

How about anything. Show me a video of her own words where we got a detailed description. Literally any subject.
 
Sunny Hostin, of all people, said something to think about. If a convicted felon can become President of the United States of America, why not remove the box on job applications that asks if you’ve ever been convicted of a felony. Police, firefighters, school teachers, judges, and most corporations have the box along with oaths. Is it fair that ONLY Donald John Trump is the only American truly above the law? Can’t wait until he takes the oath of office. If things were fair his Trump Bible would burst into flames when he’s forced to vow to defend the Constitution. What’s everyone think about the apparently antiquated rule of law? Why should felonious pedophiles lose their rights to live where they want after they’ve served their terms? We need more teachers, remove felonies and background checks and you’ll fill the positions. What about cruel and unusual punishment charges being questioned in courts. If our President can get away with it why shouldn’t others? Should all felonies at least be reduced to misdemeanors? These questions need to be answered before Trump takes office, and shortsighted people understand what a nest of hornets they’ve smashed.
 
Here is another thing that is gonna tick a bunch of folks off. The felon card was way overplayed. He screwed a porn star and everyone knew he had done it. Everyone knew he paid her off. The felonies are checks and they padded stats the way they convicted him. He is a felon like Martha Stewart is a felon not like Jeffery Dalhmer. He did it. He was convicted. That isn’t up for debate and I’m not trying to. I’m saying when you are the party that paid a foreign firm to create a dossier with misinformation in it and nothing happens it’s a bad look when you go after a guy for something that happened before he was elected the first time for election interference. Your motives are transparent. Again not wanting to fuss about the case I’m telling you why 20 million in the middle of the political spectrum left your candidate.

Really? You think it’s alright to steal and hide a huge volume of government classified documents and move them around in an attempt to hide them? Do you think his actions and lack of reactions in his attempt to overturn a free and fair election are unworthy of prosecution? In my opinion the damned courts have made him a king already. Can’t wait to see him pardon those convicted rioters who hurt our police. But I get it Donny it’s ok if it’s on your political side, but lock those that disagree with you up? Wow, un F ing believable. Martha Stewart my azz.

If the results of any election has "ruined your life" or made you "give up/be done" then you've got a lot bigger issues than the current state of politics. LIVE YOUR LIFE AND LOVE EACH OTHER!

I never said any of it was ok. I’m saying the Dems just lost to the guy. And they didn’t lose in one state or with one group of people. They lost over 85% of the counties in the US, lost worse in every state, and lost ground in every state they won this time compared to last time. They lost ground with every demographic. The guy the DNC says you are racist if you vote for just swung millions of minority votes. So either you can see the message was so bad it turned millions of Americans across all demos (except upper middle class whites….thats right the Dems look like the party of privilege not everyone) or you keep doing what you’re doing and lose more. That’s how bad this campaign was. If you can’t beat Trump don’t plan on winning much. So maybe now it’s time to take a look at why unless you want 8 years of Barron Trump down the road. The Dems pissed off the Amish for chrissakes. Maybe take a look at how that happened instead of repeating the same things that don’t work over and over

I think it's idiotic to let the results of an election impact you like this, but considering what happened 4 years ago, I don't think poking fun at someone taking a day off work is a very good look.
