    😮‍💨 point to the biden policy that would please. Then point to the harris campaign platform stating how she’d fix it. In fact harris took steps to signal she wouldn’t fix it by not committing to Khan.

    Neither candidate was going to fix it. So whats next in the list?

      Under Trump in 2019 inflation was 2.3 percent. It dropped during Covid and then jumped to 7% in 2021. It has been declining ever since to 2.4% today. So a disaster, then a recovery, and people STILL think it was Bidens fault.

      Price gouging is what it became and that is slowly getting better. The FTC is taking steps to help. But somehow people think “lets vote for the billionaires! Surely they have a plan to make chips 99 cents again!”. We only need to deregulate and cut corporate taxes (again) and it will all be better for Johnny Six Pack!

      They were doing more than Trump will.

      And even if neither of them would fix it - how is that a reason to vote Trump?

      Edit:

      That’s been the logic problem through this entire election.

      Yes, Kamala dodged right when many of us wanted her to dodge left. I get that, and it frustrates me as well.

      But on ANY issue where they were equally bad policy-wise, how does one look back and forth between Trump and Harris and go “Well, clearly Trump”

      Folks act like for any tossup issue between them the obvious advantage is with the racist, convicted felon, rapist, demented, shitbag. Somehow Trump just has to be on the same level as Harris to get the nod, but Harris only does if she miles and miles better on an issue. I just don’t get it.

        And she lost the lack of self reflection that has inspired in you is why this will keep happening.
