As a Democrat, it all feels hopeless.

And?

CNN moderator lied during debate saying that grocery basket was $100 4 years ago and $120 now. It is like $400 now for the same items that were $100 four years ago.

What are you buying? 2 person household and our most recent grocery basket was $85 for the week.

Then you are a god awful shopper.

You can go to your shopping history and add the same items you purchased in 2020 and add them now. It will be not a $20 increase.

Maybe. I don't have to contribute to Frito lays record breaking profits. They know where they can shove their 6 dollars a bag Doritos. At some point don't be an idiot and buy something other than Doritos.

That said... groceries have gone up. I do not buy things I used to buy and life goes on.

When the 60+ crowd are gone, the dems will be panicking as to how to run more progressive campaigns rather than resenting anyone whose marginally more left than a conservative 10 years ago. The republicans will be great though.

What?
The Dems will adjust. They believe in civil rights, rule of law, making the environment sustainable, women's rights, abortion rights.

The R's used to believe in fiscally conservative policies, state's rights, and ending abortion.

Now, their main unifying policy (abortion) is off the list, and they no longer believe in state's rights or fiscally conservative policies.

Neither policy has a clear vision for foreign policy.

In 20 years, the D's have something to build on / build up / build towards.

The R's have dismantled the entire government, made the tax structure unsustainable, and totally eliminated our leadership position in foreign policy. They've made us an unreliable partner and even have brought into question whether we have or support rule of law.

In what way are the R's in a better position to have an agenda for the future?

I don’t believe that the Democrats believe in women’s rights any more.

Why?

And the R's who took away the right to choose do? Really?

The Rs don’t believe in women’s rights either. But the Democrats have gone all in on destroying women’s rights as well. They have prioritized men at every turn.

Pick your poison, though. One of these parties leads towards continued free and fair elections, courts, and civil rights.
One wants to end all of those American ideals.

I don’t think the Democrats are the party of civil rights any more. I certainly don’t believe your hysteria.

Candidly I just don’t believe the Democrats on anything at this point. They lied about Biden’s health, as we can all see.

Trump and the GOP lie as well. But I never trusted them. Now I distrust the Democrats the same way I distrust the Republicans.

Do you believe that Donald Trump tried to overthrow the election?

Up until this debate, yes. But it’s now clear that the mainstream media has been shockingly deceptive in their reporting and now I am questioning everything. I don’t know what to think or who to trust as this point.

But you saw it on TV. It's clear that Biden is an 81 year old who has good days and bad days. I wish that there was another candidate running. But there's not. There's no way I would vote for someone who tried to overthrow the US government. I just wouldn't. I am voting for him because I like what Biden is actually doing. Not how he talks. And I'm also voting against Trump because he hates the American people and doesn't believe that their votes matter. Either one of those would be good enough reason for me to make my voice heard through voting.

What I saw on TV was shocking. What I realized immediately is that the Democratic Party and the mainstream media have been actively suppressing and lying about the state of Biden and who is actually running our country. I’ve been lied to, as badly as the GOP has. And now I do not trust anything that I was told previously.

Was Trump’s voice saying “fake news….fake news….” in your ear

Honestly? Yes. I never believed Trump before, and I still don’t, not really. But all of a sudden I wonder if he was right about the media. Certainly the media has been obviously lying about Biden’s state. Now I wonder what else they’ve lied about.

Uh huh. Right. So what you saw with your own eyes on January 6, And Trump's tweets and interviews where he said the election was stolen, were altered by the media?

Can you point out where media lied about Biden's state? What is that state exactly? I've seen him speak every week. And how did media lie about it? Did they write puff pieces about his vigor we all missed?



Also, you guys are so transparent with these posts.

And you are so tiresome with this constant gaslighting.

It took three seconds to find an article from a few days before the debate that talks about how the clips that the right-wing media was showing about Biden’s health (accurately, as it turns out) were just cheap fakes and manipulated.

Reading this article post-debate is truly shocking. The level of overt deception is so demoralizing.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/us/politics/biden-age-videos.html

One does not exclude the other. The videos were manipulated.

No, actually, they weren’t. The clips ended at various points but that’s not “manipulated,” that’s just picking an endpoint. It is obvious at this point that the right-wing media was truthful about this while outlets like the NYT were lying.

Interesting that you made all this research since Thursday night. Totally plausible. And yes, they were manipulated.

You can literally see the clips in question. You are clearly lying, and the country sees your gaslighting.

That article from the NYT is laughable now. Well, it would be laughable if it wasn’t so incredibly grim in what it betrays about media truth.

There is a thread about that. Feel free to meander in there.

Also, look up the term manipulated

You resort to insults because you can’t factually defend against obvious truths. I’m sorry but the country has seen the lies of the mainstream media regarding Biden, and that genie can’t be stuffed back into the bottle.

omg, what are the lies? he is old? no s*** sherlock. If he was running against a halfway decent R candidate things would be way different. But Biden is running against a twice impeached, multiple indictments, convicted felon, total sociopath. The list goes on and on. It’s all about him and nothing about the people of this country. I grew up in nyc and this guy has been bad news forever. He is only here now because of the Apprentice. Lord help us.

The clearing of Lafayette Square of protesters on June 1, 2020, had been previously planned by the U.S. Park Police before President Trump made his public statement at a nearby church.

But even if Dems win, the Supreme Court has done so much this year to stymie any liberal policy.

Gun control ain’t happening. The environment is fked and now will be more so with the loss of Chevron. Organized religion is fully breaking down the walls between the state and itself.

What the fk? What’s to be happy about?

The RNC and DNC need to be shut down so that we can work on reducing the influence of money politics and then we can reform two major parties under proper leadership which will lead to legitimate POTUS candidates. This is the only way to put the ineptness of the Trump/Biden era behind us.

Or we can just win in November, get a better court and get rid of Citizens United.

If we were serious about winning in November, we wouldn't have supported Biden's 2nd term ambitions in the 2024 primary. We made our beds.

Any Dem not voting for Biden loses my respect. I wish be weren’t the candidate. But this is not an election between Biden and Trump. It’s about the future of the democracy. If ppl can’t see that then we’re fuxxxed anyway you shake it due to our own stupidity.

Have u ppl forgot 1/6/20? And the sh—-show that was Trumps forst presidency? We will be a laughing stock. And stuck with a wannabe fascist at the helm. This whole idea is god da—- dystopian and it’s happening for all to see. But yeah. Biden’s old. Gtfoh.

Democracy dies when you vote for a senile old man and don’t know who is really in charge of the administration behind the scenes. Give it a rest.

Good Lord. Absolutely this. Democracy will really die when the Democrats try to push a new candidate in their convention who was not voted on by the people in the primaries but hand picked by their party leaders. Subverting the will of the people.

Democracy also dies when the media runs cover for an infirm President who is seeking reelection which stops the people from making an informed decision.

Democracy also dies when a dementia addled President refuses to leave office after serving over 50 years in the government. That is a real dictatorship.

Your January 6th insurrection crap is dead in the water and is a joke at this point. I want to know whose really running this country and why the media isn’t already forcing an answer on this.

Who do YOU think is running the country?

Does it start with a “J”?

The point was not that you can feed two people for $85 /week - you can’t. That list will cover only dinners and breakfasts, not lunches. The point was that that list of food that they purchased for $85 cost $30 four years ago.

I'm learning we just don't eat massive amounts of food. My daily lunch is a salad and fruit for the job, not a breakfast person, and we usually have a boring meal of chicken with something around it for dinner.
