Well the top voting issue for most people is the economy and Trumps economy was better than Bidens. I miss the days when 100 dollars meant a trunk full of groceries not just 2 bags

Your grocery prices have more to do with corporate greed than Biden or Trump.

The grocery prices increased due to the border crisis and war on energy from this crazy administration. A grocery truck isn’t going to run on hydro power and wind . Insane Dems want to get oil and gas cancelled and get meat cancelled as well. Cows are apparently bad for the environment so we need to eat bugs
For protein as well. They want overreach in every part of our lives for no good reason

? It's not from the border crisis. What news stories are you reading?

Inflation was caused by pent up demand (due to pandemic) + stimulus money (started by Trump btw) + supply chain issues from the pandemic.

Four years after covid, we are seeing some of the issues ease.

They opened the floodgates and a huge wave of migrants came in crossing farmland

https://www.agriculturedive.com/news/farm-immigration-border-crossings-food-safety-oped/703265/

Many migrants making their way through the U.S. trespass onto farmland, creating a number of safety concerns and forcing farmers to take on additional costs to protect their operations. Every intrusion must be carefully documented, and farmers have to destroy any crops around areas where illegal trespassing occurred to prevent contamination.

To prevent such intrusions, farmers have purchased expensive fencing to prevent people from entering their fields and technology to increase electronic field monitoring. They’ve also invested in no trespassing signage in English and Spanish, plus dumpsters and bathrooms for immigrants to use to keep the fields safe.

Yuma County Emergency Management, for example, has budgeted $70,000 to lease port-a-potties. At a congressional hearing this year, Arizona farmers and others detailed costs in the tens of thousands to replace fences, pick up litter and install signage.

But fields aren’t the only safety concern. Increased cartel activity along the border has also made it necessary for Yuma farmers to implement additional safety measures and training, with some paying for additional labor to eliminate the danger posed to lone workers. Migrants themselves are also at risk, and could be harmed by large farm equipment or the effects of pesticide or fertilizer application.

This border crisis is costing farmers and ranchers a fortune, as illegal immigrants leave property damage, piles of trash, and damaged crops in their wake. These people must often spend their hard-earned money to secure their farms and ranches from the devastating consequences of Biden's border crisis.

So, illegal immigrants are killing our farms even as they are the ones who mostly work the fields.

High food prices aren't caused by farmers raising the price because of illegal immigrants. It's due to corporate greed now.

Corporate greed? You mean capitalism ? That always existed .

The change was the war in Ukraine causing global shortages of grains and in the US that affected prices as well as the border crisis . Such a huge amount of migrants were crossing over every day on farms . To prevent contamination, Farmers and ranchers had to build up fences and put security measures to prevent migrant foot traffic over the crops . The border crisis and open door policy of this clueless administration did cause an increase in grocery prices. We didn’t even see the price hikes from COVID 19 or Trumps tariffs on China

It was the supply chain issues and climate change, but ok.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/food-prices-grocery-inflation-biden-economy/

The reason for the hikes may be due to supply issues and climate change, rather than corporate greed. Drought has reduced pasture for raising cows, leading to smaller cattle herds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And orange production has been impacted by severe weather events and the citrus greening disease, which doesn't have a cure.

No valid news source has indicated that illegal immigrants are the cause of higher prices. More than likely, if Trump has his way, and rounds up all illegals, food prices will go up. Look at what happened in FL when Desantis cracked down illegal immigrants. Construction costs like roofing went up, and there was a long wait time, just after a hurricane hit.

Glad you agreed that capitalism is the same as corporate greed, which is one of the reasons why they ship jobs overseas. Will Trump impose regulations to bring back those jobs, I wonder?

Trump already brought many jobs back to Americans in meatpacking facilities and such . The ICE raids on illegal immigrants and their employers (people forget that part ) did not significantly explode food prices and neither did tarriffs on China during the 4 years Trump was in office as predicted . It was the Biden admin that exploded the price of food and decided to go on this Ill advised open border , welcome to all and war on energy policy

Biden didn't explode the price of food, that would be the food producers and grocery chains. We live in a capitalist society and the capitalists decided to use the cover of COVID and supply chains to rape the US consumer.

So unless we want a socialist country, which the right projects on to the left, we are left with private companies selling food for maximum profit. And yet the right blames Biden.

What is the GOP plan to reduce costs? I'll wait here but I won't hold my breath for an answer.

This is not true. Capitalism would’ve exploded the prices when the illegal migrant raids were going on , slaughterhouses were getting shut down, and tariffs to China were going on

Trump handled COVID much better than this administration would’ve. Could you imagine if this insane war with Russia and open border policy was going on during the start of COVID? The cities would’ve been bankrupted between the public health crises of migrants in hospitals and taking care of migrants along with COVID .

Prices had gone up for some stuff during covid, while it went down for others. But, we had the stimulus money helped people afford the costs.

LOL.. most of the workers in meat packing plants are.... migrant workers. Also, Trump's hotels also hired illegal immigrants. Too funny.

We don't import food from China.

We absolutely import food from China. Instead of condensension, the Dems should learn to research and learn about the world beyond the blue states . Rural and small town America was decimated thanks to the Democrats . Hillary even said coal and factories don’t even exist in 2016. Elitism and callousness like this is why she lost .

Biden tried with his Scranton working class image but the past few years have shown small town America he doesn’t care about the fentanyl across the border and the global food crisis egged on by his war on Ukraine to help Washington’s new Cold War stance with Russia . Why do we need Ukraine to be in NATO ? We didn’t like it when Russians were on our doorstep in Cuba many many years ago under a am actually great Democratic president who avoided war with Cuba and possibly was killed for it

Small towns are thiving under Biden and particularly with both the remote work boom and the return of manufacturing jobs under the CHIPs Ave (which the GOP uniformly opposed) which is disproportionately benefiting red states.

and as to the Fentanyl issue, Fentanyl seizure in ‘22 3x more than ‘20 and would be even higher today if the GOP had passed their own bill that would have funded hundreds of scanning machines at the border.

Petty jealousy from women. That's the only explanation that makes sense. They voted in a sexual predator rather than help advance women. Now they are complaining because the sexual predator that they chose took abortion away

It wasn’t petty jealousy. It was internalized misogyny. Millions of women were told that they were inherently less than men, less intelligent, less capable, just less all around.

And that’s just regular, non religious women. For women who were reared in many traditional religions, mostly Christianity, they were told by instruments of God that women were inherently less good, more sinful, the cause of the Fall of Man, incapable of being sacred (unless they birthed the Lord! Mary gets a special pass for birthing the Lord!).

Many women have internalized these messages and do not think critically about these messages, ever. Add in decades of personal experiences big and small that remind women that many men see them as lesser beings (and it’s still happening; my friend just switched companies because the guy she worked under really resented women - and this is at a company dominated by women in the C-suite), and you have women shutting down and existing in denial as a way to cope.

Way to insult millions of women, PP!

Are you the same PP as 13:39?

Nope

I can't believe anyone takes Kamala Harris seriously. Have you all been in a coma for the last few years? She is a disaster. Her presidential campaign was a disaster. Her run as VP was a disaster, as evidenced by the fact that the Biden admin hasn't given her anything significant to do in years.

I suppose there's always an emotional element to politics, and people might get wound up. But, even if she were to win, it would be a terrible 4 years for the country.

The GOP ran this country off the road while driving under the influence, rolled us a few times going down the embankment and left the passengers in the burning wreck while the GOP driver got up and walked away. Biden Harris found the wreck, put out the fire, rescued the occupants, towed the car, repaired the guardrails and now very online Republicans are mad that there’s a trail of damaged plants where the car when down the hill.

Had a Democrat been in office during covid, there would not have been a pandemic. This has been gone over ad nauseum. Republicans do not trust the government and when they get in power they set out to prove that the government is untrustworthy by wrecking as much as possible. And now they want to destroy the Constitution via Project 2025.

We had stimulus money because we didn’t have a migrant crisis and a proxy war sending billions of dollars to NATO and Ukraines former comedian turned president . Thank God Biden wasnt president when COVID first hit. It’s funny how the media pivoted to the virus no longer being so deadly once trump left office

Wait, your talking points are garbling. According to GOP talking points she was the “border czar” so how can she not have been given “anything significant to do in years”?

You know what, let’s go with your last sentence. She will win and you will experience four terrible years.

If Biden isn't well enough to run, he's not well enough to lead. If Dems were genuinely as excited about Harris as posters here say, they would do this. That would lock in the nomination for Harris. Absent that, anything can happen in an open convention.

The convention is purely ceremonial. You get that. Right? Because the convention is being help after the Ohio deadline and maybe 1-2 others to submit the nominee. And no one trusts Ohio Rs when they say they will make an exception and put the Dem nominee on the ballot despite that, especially now. So, the actual delegate voting will start no earlier than 8/1 and will be completed no later than 8/7, via a virtual convention. And as of last evening, Harris had well over the number of delegates she needs. She’ll get the nomination in a virtual vote next week. That plan was announced under Biden when it became clear Ohio might try to keep him off the ballot. And it was announced yesterday that was still the plan. As it should be. I don’t trust Ohio or a red state to put Harris on the ballot.

By the time we reach the convention, she’s been formally nominated for a couple of weeks and already had her name submitted to the states. The convention is just free prime time and speeches and tag rah go team.

Why is the convention so late? Good question. The incumbent party goes last, and they are programming against the Olympics.

Until delegate voting concludes, nothing is locked down.

Harris already has the majority of the delegates locked up. It is over.

I'm an independent and not a fan, but the alternative is still Trump. She is better than Trump. I can't wait to find out about the VP since all choices floated seem great and way better than Vance who brings zero to the table.

For protein as well. They want overreach in every part of our lives for no good reason

? It's not from the border crisis. What news stories are you reading?

Inflation was caused by pent up demand (due to pandemic) + stimulus money (started by Trump btw) + supply chain issues from the pandemic.

Four years after covid, we are seeing some of the issues ease.

They opened the floodgates and a huge wave of migrants came in crossing farmland

https://www.agriculturedive.com/news/farm-immigration-border-crossings-food-safety-oped/703265/

Many migrants making their way through the U.S. trespass onto farmland, creating a number of safety concerns and forcing farmers to take on additional costs to protect their operations. Every intrusion must be carefully documented, and farmers have to destroy any crops around areas where illegal trespassing occurred to prevent contamination.

To prevent such intrusions, farmers have purchased expensive fencing to prevent people from entering their fields and technology to increase electronic field monitoring. They’ve also invested in no trespassing signage in English and Spanish, plus dumpsters and bathrooms for immigrants to use to keep the fields safe.

Yuma County Emergency Management, for example, has budgeted $70,000 to lease port-a-potties. At a congressional hearing this year, Arizona farmers and others detailed costs in the tens of thousands to replace fences, pick up litter and install signage.

But fields aren’t the only safety concern. Increased cartel activity along the border has also made it necessary for Yuma farmers to implement additional safety measures and training, with some paying for additional labor to eliminate the danger posed to lone workers. Migrants themselves are also at risk, and could be harmed by large farm equipment or the effects of pesticide or fertilizer application.

This border crisis is costing farmers and ranchers a fortune, as illegal immigrants leave property damage, piles of trash, and damaged crops in their wake. These people must often spend their hard-earned money to secure their farms and ranches from the devastating consequences of Biden's border crisis.

So, illegal immigrants are killing our farms even as they are the ones who mostly work the fields.

High food prices aren't caused by farmers raising the price because of illegal immigrants. It's due to corporate greed now.

Corporate greed? You mean capitalism ? That always existed .

The change was the war in Ukraine causing global shortages of grains and in the US that affected prices as well as the border crisis . Such a huge amount of migrants were crossing over every day on farms . To prevent contamination, Farmers and ranchers had to build up fences and put security measures to prevent migrant foot traffic over the crops . The border crisis and open door policy of this clueless administration did cause an increase in grocery prices. We didn’t even see the price hikes from COVID 19 or Trumps tariffs on China

It was the supply chain issues and climate change, but ok.

The reason for the hikes may be due to supply issues and climate change, rather than corporate greed. Drought has reduced pasture for raising cows, leading to smaller cattle herds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And orange production has been impacted by severe weather events and the citrus greening disease, which doesn't have a cure.

No valid news source has indicated that illegal immigrants are the cause of higher prices. More than likely, if Trump has his way, and rounds up all illegals, food prices will go up. Look at what happened in FL when Desantis cracked down illegal immigrants. Construction costs like roofing went up, and there was a long wait time, just after a hurricane hit.

Glad you agreed that capitalism is the same as corporate greed, which is one of the reasons why they ship jobs overseas. Will Trump impose regulations to bring back those jobs, I wonder?

Trump already brought many jobs back to Americans in meatpacking facilities and such . The ICE raids on illegal immigrants and their employers (people forget that part ) did not significantly explode food prices and neither did tarriffs on China during the 4 years Trump was in office as predicted . It was the Biden admin that exploded the price of food and decided to go on this Ill advised open border , welcome to all and war on energy policy

Biden didn't explode the price of food, that would be the food producers and grocery chains. We live in a capitalist society and the capitalists decided to use the cover of COVID and supply chains to rape the US consumer.

So unless we want a socialist country, which the right projects on to the left, we are left with private companies selling food for maximum profit. And yet the right blames Biden.

What is the GOP plan to reduce costs? I'll wait here but I won't hold my breath for an answer.

This is not true. Capitalism would’ve exploded the prices when the illegal migrant raids were going on , slaughterhouses were getting shut down, and tariffs to China were going on

Trump handled COVID much better than this administration would’ve. Could you imagine if this insane war with Russia and open border policy was going on during the start of COVID? The cities would’ve been bankrupted between the public health crises of migrants in hospitals and taking care of migrants along with COVID .

Prices had gone up for some stuff during covid, while it went down for others. But, we had the stimulus money helped people afford the costs.

We had stimulus money because we didn’t have a migrant crisis and a proxy war sending billions of dollars to NATO and Ukraines former comedian turned president . Thank God Biden wasnt president when COVID first hit. It’s funny how the media pivoted to the virus no longer being so deadly once trump left office

There’s this little thing called “vaccines” that meant that fewer people got covid and when they did it was less serious…

Her run as VP was a disaster, as evidenced by the fact that the Biden admin hasn't given her anything significant to do in years.

I suppose there's always an emotional element to politics, and people might get wound up. But, even if she were to win, it would be a terrible 4 years for the country.

I'll play. Why? VPs don't get big roles. What did Pence do for 4 years? I honestly have NO idea.

Had chaperoned meetings with ladies, we know that much.

Every man with a wife and/or daughter should be worried for them if they love them.

Well the top voting issue for most people is the economy and Trumps economy was better than Bidens. I miss the days when 100 dollars meant a trunk full of groceries not just 2 bags

Your grocery prices have more to do with corporate greed than Biden or Trump.

How is it a war on oil under Biden if we are drilling more than any other nation in the WORLD?

He ended the keystone pipeline here in the US which also raised prices . It makes no sense to drill but ban a pipeline here . Drilling costs

OMG, no, ending Keystone did not raise prices. Keystone wouldn't have been done for years. Raising prices are due to regular market fluctuations including the Saudi's and Russians helping their GOP friends. There is no reason for the US to ever be dependent on foreign sources of energy or be beholden to foriegn market fluctuations. As it is, the US is a net energy exporter for the first time in generations, and is also pumping record oil.

If Biden isn't well enough to run, he's not well enough to lead. If Dems were genuinely as excited about Harris as posters here say, they would do this. That would lock in the nomination for Harris. Absent that, anything can happen in an open convention.

The convention is purely ceremonial. You get that. Right? Because the convention is being help after the Ohio deadline and maybe 1-2 others to submit the nominee. And no one trusts Ohio Rs when they say they will make an exception and put the Dem nominee on the ballot despite that, especially now. So, the actual delegate voting will start no earlier than 8/1 and will be completed no later than 8/7, via a virtual convention. And as of last evening, Harris had well over the number of delegates she needs. She’ll get the nomination in a virtual vote next week. That plan was announced under Biden when it became clear Ohio might try to keep him off the ballot. And it was announced yesterday that was still the plan. As it should be. I don’t trust Ohio or a red state to put Harris on the ballot.

By the time we reach the convention, she’s been formally nominated for a couple of weeks and already had her name submitted to the states. The convention is just free prime time and speeches and tag rah go team.

Why is the convention so late? Good question. The incumbent party goes last, and they are programming against the Olympics.

They chose television programming over ballot deadlines, and you want me to vote for them with that kind of judgment?

Trump tweets our national intelligence details, but you think he has good judgement?

No, I don’t.

Moderates, swing voters, independents: you need our votes. For many of us, it isn’t a choice between Democrats and MAGA. It’s a choice between Democrats and staying home.

A lot of us haven’t seen the Democrats do enough to preserve what we care about: ending school shootings, protecting gay marriage from a Dobbs-type overturn, national healthcare, and reforms of so many basic social systems that have become rampantly predatory. They lost Roe. They didn’t do enough, they took it for granted, and they lost it, and I have zero faith that it won’t happen again. There is no anti-Project 2025 plan from the Democrats. There is a lot of fundraising against its spectre, but no plan.

And we see that if MAGA doesn’t win in 2024, it will only be a stay of execution; we will have Project 2029 instead.

Most of the Democrat voters don’t want to have this conversation, though. They want to assume I’m a MAGA follower for questioning what the Democrats are doing.

Dems cannot do what you want unless there is a majority in the House and a filibuster proof majority in the senate. So staying home means letting the GOP run roughshod over the country. How about supporting Dems and findng a handful of reasonable GOP who are willing to do something to protect human rights, and limit the damage the guns can do to our children.
