Can you give three specific policies that were not popular?

Under Biden we were fixing infrastructure and building chip factories. We were adding jobs.

Under Trump my investments have dropped more than $39k in two weeks and I haven’t even looked at real estate equity. It will drop like a stone if people are afraid to spend money due to the threat of losing a job. Trump has wiped out all the gains I had in the last 14 months.

Egg prices are rapidly falling, per CNBC:
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/03/13/egg-prices-are-rapidly-falling-so-far-in-march.html

Trump’s approval ratings are near his all time highs; 44 percent of voters think the country is on the right track, the highest since 2004; and Dem approval ratings are tanking, per a recent NBC poll:
https://www.axios.com/2025/03/16/trump-high-dems-low-new-poll

There are a lot of people out there who don’t have $39,000 in home equity + savings and would feel like they won the lottery to be in your economic situation. I’d say based on your $39,000 portfolio drop, you are in the top 5% of Americans. Well, the entire country is not like you at all and they have different priorities.

To lose their veterans benefits? To have higher inflation? To let their kid have hearing loss due to measles or cancer because of pfas in the water? To lose their home because FEMA is extinct?

These is all scare mongering hyperbole. I’m not going to waste time refuting every assertion, but inflation is the easiest one to correct.

February inflation rate lower than expected per CNBC (not Fox News): https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/03/12/cpi-inflation-report-february-2025.html

If anything, the tariffs are going to reduce consumer spending, which will reduce inflation and cause the Fed to lower rates faster than expected, which will send stocks soaring.

When no one can afford anything, stocks won't soar.

Lower rates are inevitable once the recession kicks in and lower rates will keep the housing market and much of the financial markets from tanking. Our country and Trump are lucky we are in a position where significantly lower rates are possible if poop hits the fan.

What happens when people can’t afford cars due to tariffs?

The air will clear up and we'll all be eating that Rainbow Stew

Shows me we Democrats have some work to do.

Dems need just one decent leader to emerge and all the stain left on the party by the Biden debacle will be removed and forgotten. It won't take much to pass the GOP in the popularity ratings considering the pace Trump is losing support.

I think people are underestimating how deeply unpopular Democrats have become in recent years. This isn't simply Biden's fault. It's local progressive Democrats in counties, school boards, city councils and so on. Democrats could run a mainstream presidential candidate, but all across the ballot candidates like Charles Allen - to use an example - will continue to repel normal people from voting for Democrats. The DC Council is all progressives. Absolutely no one wants that. But that is what the Democratic brand is in most communities.

No people want someone to stand up to Trump and people like you. The democrats keep attacking and pushing aside progressive and they push this Israel first mentality. This is why they are unpopular and struggle to beat a losers like Trump. Why vote democrat if it is just the same sh#t you and Trump push down everyone’s throat. People want a choice

You are clearly very liberal, and your friends and social circles likely agree with you. It's not what the typical working American citizen wants. Hence, the recent election results. (I voted for Harris with reservations. Can't stand Trump.)

The typical working American wanted things like cheaper groceries, better wages, lower rent and to be able to afford to buy a house. Instead they got the Gulf of America, war on windmills, abandoning NATO and our global alliances, tariffs and trade wars that are going to make things more expensive, attacks on Social Security and Medicare, and a crashing stock market that's eating away 401k savings.

Trump is NOT delivering on what they voted for.

PP here. I don't disagree with you, but you're also leaving out a biggie...illegal immigration. Democrats should have addressed it strongly.

Nothing, absolutely nothing can justify voting for a convicted criminal, someone who had a complete dereliction of duty with the way he handled a pandemic, and not accepting the results of a free and fair election and inciting a riot to cause an insurrection.

Not the PP, but this is what I take issue with. The Dems were royally f-ing things up, but still expected me to vote for them because “Trump is a criminal!” They didn’t listen. They didn’t do anything to handle the major problems. I was supposed to ignore all their failures, and vote for Harris because our country was in mortal danger.

I’m tired of being expected to vote for them with a gun to my head. I really wish other Dems would wake up to this reality.

So integrity doesn't matter to you? Criminals and rapists don't matter to you? So long as you can throw your temper tantrum? Hon, that says WAY MORE about you than it does about the DNC.

And in terms of "major problems", deportations were up, our inflation was trending down and better than most other countries, Biden passed the CHIPS act, he was forgiving student loans, Kamala wanted to help with housing costs and had a plan for price gouging, Kamala would have supported non-fascist judges and cabinet members. Biden and Kamala did plenty with a divided Congress. Biden and Kamal had concrete plans to help the ordinary American. But you stuck your fingers in your ears and sang "la, la, la" like a child.

Again, you're entitled to your beliefs, however ignorant they are. But rest assured, they ARE ignorant and uninformed. And you're little more than a petulant child. I hope you're happy with the fascist state you've allowed to take hold.

It’s not my fault that Dems couldn’t get out of their own way to pass any meaningful immigration reform, and that they didn’t listen to voters.

I am most certainly not ignorant or uninformed. I am never going yo vote for Trump or Trumpy politicians. If Dems don’t get it together, I’m never voting for them again.

They had a bi-partisan bill that was written by the most conservative senator on the issue and it had 80% of what the GOP wanted and Trump killed it. It needed 60 votes. Why wouldn't ten GOP senators vote for it?

They ignored the problem for 2 years. That was too little too late. They could have come up with an actual plan and engaged in leadership. It’s not like voters didn’t make their opinions known.

Let me get this straight- they killed the bipartisan solution because it was too late? That’s like burning your house down because it got too messy. No, they thought it was better for them to keep the problem alive so they could juice their base, who don’t have much between their ears and never leave their Fox bubble long enough to form an independent thought. And it was very effective, wasn’t it? Because you’re still on here saying it’s better to have chaos and a legal system in shambles. Pathetic.

The bi-partisan bill you are referring to was more of a band-aid bill than a long term solution but it absolutely shouldn't have failed for the political reason that it did. That bill was on the table at least two years too late due to political games on one side of the aisle and it failed due to political games on the other side of the aisle. Disgraceful from every angle!

I am going to call this out.

There have been at least 4 times that a Dem president offered to sign a border reform bill that the GOP tanked it. Facts matter - ever since Reagan, the GOP has created and fomented immigration as a wedge issue and it has kept the party in power for decades without ANY meaningful reform in the intervening 40 years.

Trump just reduced illegal immigration by 90% in a month.

Can you source that? It is not what I have read in the news

https://nypost.com/2025/02/06/us-news/illegal-border-crossings-down-90-under-tr

Not exactly a reliable source, it is a tabloid and their articles reflect it!

The source isn’t the NY Post, it’s the border patrol chief quoted in it. I’d hope after the election you’d learn to vary your news sources so you aren’t so blindsided in the future.

Oh you mean news sources that have no intention of reporting in a fair and balanced way? because the owners of these publications all have their own agendas?

Under Biden we were fixing infrastructure and building chip factories. We were adding jobs.

Under Trump my investments have dropped more than $39k in two weeks and I haven’t even looked at real estate equity. It will drop like a stone if people are afraid to spend money due to the threat of losing a job. Trump has wiped out all the gains I had in the last 14 months.

To lose their veterans benefits? To have higher inflation? To let their kid have hearing loss due to measles or cancer because of pfas in the water? To lose their home because FEMA is extinct?

These is all scare mongering hyperbole. I’m not going to waste time refuting every assertion, but inflation is the easiest one to correct.

Things are going to have to get very, very bad to make housing affordable again. Lower rates has just meant higher prices for the last, I don’t know, 15 years.

Highe rates meant higher prices for the past, I dont know, 2 years. Surely there must be some rate level that will make prices low? Rates must be the answer, somehow.

Well tariffs on lumber are going to increase building costs.

Yep, this is how awful Trump and Biden have been. Their approval ratings have been historically low to the extent that they can only be compared with themselves and each other (and maybe Carter).

January 2029 can not come fast enough and no, we're not making the foolish mistake of going back to Biden in 2028 like the stupid GOP did with Trump 2024.

scared is part of it. but also he's just a constant content click machine. eyeballs go up every time trump says or does something outrageous; fear and other strong emotions drive traffic. the media never figured out how to cover biden in a way people would respond to - until they got to "he's so OLD" and then that drove traffic, too.

the incentives are there to keep covering trump, because he gives them what they need.

Under Biden we were fixing infrastructure and building chip factories. We were adding jobs.

Under Trump my investments have dropped more than $39k in two weeks and I haven’t even looked at real estate equity. It will drop like a stone if people are afraid to spend money due to the threat of losing a job. Trump has wiped out all the gains I had in the last 14 months.
