Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How does it differ from democrats' plan to lower food prices?
Well for a start Democrats weren't planning to turbocharge inflation by putting tariffs on everything. So already their plan was better.
Harris' plan was to ban price gourging which would put a cap on the price.
Trump doesn't have a plan to lower food prices.
That's the difference.
Here's the thing.. As wishful thinking as this sounds... You and I both know this would have instantly been appealed by every major food manufacturer in the entire country and the SCOTUS would overturn it because it defeats the "free enterprise ideals" of capitalism.
Democrats had a plan
Step 0. Inflation came back down to almost normal. Prices should no longer be increasing ass quickly
Step 1. Stabilize trade
Step ?: investigate price gouging
Step ?: explain the temporary impact of avian flu on poultry related products
Your increase in suffering has slowed. Why aren't you happy?
So, even if you stop there and ignore everything else:
I voted for Harris. Her messaging was still dogshit on this issue. She was acting like the problem was fixed when it wasn't.
Ahhh. So you too- support genocide.
Oh cool. I have a stalker. I thought I left this sort of unhinged shit behind when I left reddit.
So, let me explain something to you as I’ve seen you accuse people of this a lot and I think maybe you’re having a little trouble understanding how things work:
If someone interacts with you in the comments of a post, and then respond to you in that same post later or… even in a different comment section in a different post altogether….
That’s not stalking. That’s just interacting with people in a social media setting. And considering how often you post your rage-induced genocide accusations, if we go by your interpretation of the word, you’d have to pretty much accuse the entirely of lemmy of stalking.
Stalking and gaslighting.
Wow….
