I keep hearing about grocery prices, but no one has any explanation of what Biden was supposed to do about it that he wasn't already doing, or how Trump will handle it better.
If putting a Republican administration in place that will bend over for corporations causes lower grocery prices, doesn't that just prove that corporate greed was the main driver all along? Why can't people who voted Trump for these reasons understand that?
If voters keep voting like this, corporations are just going to purposely raise prices whenever someone they don't like is in power, and the sheep will just fall for it and we'll never be able to hold these corporations accountable.
Completely agree. I think it's a "you break it you buy it" situation with voters.
And it's not based in reason
Biden's administration was staring down the barrel of a recession, and yet here we are, having completely avoided it. That's a pretty successful navigation of the economic hand that Biden was dealt, if you ask me. But at the end of the day "groceries more expensive" = "we need someone else in the white house" for a lot of voters, I guess.
I was a naysayer in 2020, I thought the DNC was repeating the mistakes of 2016 by putting up a moderate but I was wrong.
I was practically giddy when I heard that the FTC was finally going after these corporations.
I was thinking that there's no way they can blame the Dems for what happens in the next two years, but I'm guessing the post-reality anti-facts crew will find a way.
they were wrong in 2020. there is a reason biden 'promised to be a single term president' initially and then immediately retracted once he won.
The problem wasnt biden's economic policies during his term. its that he (and harris) demonstrated an profound lack of understanding of the daily experience of working americans. those 20 million people are likely individuals who have mentally checked out from politics because its not worth their time anymore due to the parties being essentially identical economically. As I'm going to do outside of my local elections going forward. its just not worth it anymore to try and support the dems.
