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.

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.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan...by-corporate-profits

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?

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.

This is utter BS. He is admitting he may now be up to the job for another 4 years, not 6 months. I’m so tired of this GOP crap!

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?

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!

Just admit you are MAGA and are voting for the rapist.

I agree with you, but it's still exciting to think a woman (and a minority) might become POTUS.

In any case, no politician is perfect, so you have to just pick the lesser of the two evils.

Trump is a national security risk, even is national security advisors thought so. That's enough for me to not vote for him.

Polls are inconsequential. Look at the real numbers of grassroots donations, first time donors and voter registration since yesterday (yes some of those registering could be R but it doesn't make sense with the timeline.) I can say anecdotally I've been making calls for Biden-Harris for a month and yesterday was the first days since Biden's decision not to run. The excitement was incredible and lots of folks signed up to volunteer.

There aren't any R candidates or causes that use Act Blue, so not likely.
