Zero economic instincts with Kamala but what can we expect from the woman who gave a billion dollars to fight climate change to Central American govts because she thought that was the reason for migration and the woman who fought for the Inflation reduction bill that didnāt work and failed?
Is a house āobsoleteā if someone gets to live in it? Your post only gets more nonsensical from there.
Some of you think you sound soooo smart and know so much about economics but itās 100% Dunning Kruger at work.š¤£š

I strongly disagree. I also think these Twitter posts that insist that Kamala sounds stupid or whatever are pathetic and self-defeating. It's giving... very desperate. Go look at your own candidates if you want to see slurred speech and stupid statements.
Oh but calling Vance weird and making up stories about dolphins and couches isn't pathetic and desperate? There is a reason Harris has not done an interview yet and is avoiding speaking publicly without a teleprompter. She sounds like an idiot with her repetitive phrases and word salads and her ridiculous over the top cackling.
Again: LOOK AT YOUR OWN slurring, lisping, repetitive, confused candidate. Look at his creepy weird running mate that everybody hates.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz don't need to be the most brilliant people alive. They don't need to be the most inspiring orators. They don't even need to be THAT likable!
They JUST have to be better than Donald Trump. Let's not pretend that's hard. And let's not kid ourselves, ok, friend? They're KILLING IT.
The Republicans didn't have to be in this pathetic situation. They could have thrown Trump out of their party on January 7, 2021 like true patriots. But they didn't. And the chickens are coming home to roost and it's... delicious.

Now what? What will a Harris administration do to fix that?
What will Trump do? She's going after price gouging. Can't do anything about the past -- which, as you know, affected every other country as well and with a worse recovery than the U.S.
"She's going after..."
What does that even mean?
Supporting the House and Senate to pass anti-price-gouging bills.
The Dems offered one up post COVID and the GOP voted it down.
So, try again but this time, hopefully with a majority in both the House and Senate.
Uh, it's a product or service. Purchase it or don't.
There's no such thing as price gouging. No one is forcing you to buy anything.
This is really f'n basic stuff.
āThereās no such thing as price gouging.ā Except thatās exactly whatās been happening. From March:
āLarge grocery store chains exploited product shortages during the pandemic by raising prices significantly more than needed to cover their added costs and they continue to reap excessive profits, according to a Federal Trade Commission report.
The grocery giants also used their marketing power and leverage to widen their advantage over smaller competitors, according to the report, titled āFeeding America in a Time of Crisis.ā

You know what? I am a RINO. I'm a Reagan Republican and I'm sick of what has happened to the GOP. So, I'm voting Harris/Walz because I want the GOP to come back to sanity and to get rid of the "basket of deplorables" and return to the reasonable Republicans. MAGA has consumed the party and forced the real Republicans out. The only way to get the MAGA out of control is for them to lose elections and to show that they no longer have the ability to win elections. We need real Republicans to defeat MAGA in primaries. We need to elect real Republicans and not elect MAGA. The only way for the MAGA republicans to lose control is if they lose elections and no longer have the ability to win general elections.
So, I will vote for real Republicans in primaries and general elections, but I will always show up to vote against a MAGA candidate. Country (and state/county/local) before Party. Party before Candidate. I vote to save the Republican Party from MAGA.
I always find this a bit ironic since Reagan was the one who originally coined the slogan āMake America Great Again,ā and the dystopian novelist Octavia Butler knew it had staying power because the president of the dystopian America in her novel The Parable of the Sower re-used it as well. A highly recommended read.
So, to some of us, Trump is an expected and natural outgrowth of Reaganās Republican Party, to the point where at least one person predicted the rise of a Reagan/Trump hybrid thirty years ago!
Maybe on advertising and slogans, but not in reality.
Reagan would never have created an umbrella for the extreme fringe groups of society and included them and given nods to their dysfunctional causes. Reagan would never have associated with the Q-anon sect who believe that the Clintons were the head of a Satanic ring of pedophiles, or committed and supported election fraud, or pandered to Christian fundamentalists who want to put women into indentured servitude as baby incubators, or pander to right-wing militant militia groups that want to bring down the federal government.
I will give you that Reagan was somewhat antisemitic and did effectively say there were good people on both sides of the issue (his visits to German cemetaries vs concentration camps and his comment about victims on both sides was quite similar to Trump's good people on both sides in Charlottesville). And he was a product of his generation and times on race issues.
But Despite being 40 earlier than Trump, he was far more enlightened than Trump. Trump is trying to set us back more than 60-70 years beyond even the standards of the Reagan era.
+1 Also Reagan was relentlessly positive about the country while Trump acts like itās a dystopia.
Reagan wasnāt positive. His large infamous claim to fame was welfare queen and making government the boogey man to get it āout of our livesā.
It was a way for the rich to fool poor people into gutting taxes and government pensions top down (teacher, cop, firefighter, construction worker ), pay and pensions and gutting unions generally. We are still paying the price for Reagan.
He destroyed California with illegal immigration, releasing mentally Ill people out of asylums, and increasing price of state college tuition.
I wish he remained an actor and never ran for office.
