Every man with a wife and/or daughter should be worried for them if they love them.
+2. My daughter’s life could be threatened by these laws. Of course it’s my top voting issue.
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.

Yep. White women have made it known they will not vote for a woman president. More white women voted for a sexual predator than Hillary.

Yeah, OK.
So this is the prob with most people. Holding office is very different than looking at the results of that experience. You can be put into many situations but if your record shows faults, it's with examining and analyzing to see if it's the person in charge or out of their control issues. In her case, she has a pattern of scary and controversial actions esp as CA AG. I would also not suggest she's been awesome being VP. Just because you can tack on the titles does not mean she's been good doing the work. There's a huge difference in being effective and holding office and serious questions on her performance overall.
Again, you can put a bandaid on it and I get that there's not much else you can do currently than this but let's all not put our heads in the sand and pretend she is the best we have of all time to be POTUS!
I'm a diversity female so I also get how thrilling it is that she's different and exciting but it does not make her better or good. It simply makes her different.
I wish people were less emotional. Yes Trump is terrible but it's so important to not misconstrue a candidate as a better one v different one. Kamala is different but not actually better in all the ways an effective POTUS would be.
I disagreed a lot with Obama esp in foreign policy as a Dem but I respect him as someone truly effective in his time. He had the intellect, character and ability to lead in a way Kamala does not. For me, he's awesome. Not because I agreed with him on everything but because I respected him. I do not respect Kamala. If you've seen her in action, I'm not sure how you disagree!
Yeah, bullshit. Even if I accepted your premise that Harris was so terrible that she won election after election, how does one go from that to supporting a chaotic, serially bankrupt rapist like Trump? And it’s not about “Trump bad”, it’s about “WTF are you thinking?”
But you don't go all in and call her the best candidate! You go in understanding her strengths and weaknesses is what I'm suggesting. This is people over emotional and they will lose like this.
You realize she's a bandaid. Biden chose her for her diversity vote. Totally. If you don't admit that you will suffer the consequences. She's horrible in many of the opportunities she's had on camera and as CA AG yikes!
Vote for her sure but don't build her up to be who she is not. I guarantee 28 belongs to GOP.
They will just run trump again and lose. You know they will.

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.

The voters will not make the same mistake twice. Not electing HRC cost us dearly and we won't forget that.
But even though he lost some people still voted for him again and in some demographics he increased voters. People have short memories in this country I fear they will forget already I see people talking about abortion isn't a primary issue.
It helps some that Biden is no longer on the ticket so there's less of an incumbent fatigue if you wil .

Whether I voted for T is not the issue. You still have run someone I believe in to get my vote. I'm over the first woman, first black, first Asian thing with Kamala. She's a human being and I vote for the human I can get behind. Trump or no Trump.
I want the best person for the job. Anything less is just reverse discrimination. Hillary had so many issues. It's her. Not her as a woman!
