Biden got blamed for high grocery prices

Harris became an extension of Biden

The irony is that Trump was as guilty of causing that early post Covid inflation as Biden and it’s OVER

Inflation has come down to normal

My wife is a hard hard core liberal. Even SHE is pissed about those grocery prices

She doesn’t blame Biden
/Harris but she is still pissed

Women who are not as liberal as she seemed to blame Harris


That’s pretty much it.

Harris was the tie breaking vote that made the high prices happen, dumbass.

 

[Edgetho]

Yeah there isn't any deep political dissection or analysis here. Sometimes I wonder if the results would be the same regardless if anybody campaigned or not.

You responded to a lying piece of shit and I made the mistake of temporarily unblocking it so I could understand the context of your post.

Inflation in 2019 was 1.8% In 2020, it was 1.2% When dimocrap scumbag Sponge Brains Shits took over in 2021 it shot up to 4.7% and the next year was 8%.

It isn't dimocrap scum policies I despise so much as it is dimocrap scum themselves. I hate being lied to. Hate it. Shoot me, stab me, rob me..... Whatever. Just don't lie to me.

And dimocrap scum are the lyingest motherfuckers to ever exist on the Planet Earth. ALL of them

Harris was thrust into the nomination. She didn’t earn it. Biden never wanted to drop out.

Harris was the better candidate. 100days is not enough time to make the case

That’s just dumb. That was her job

She was? Biden got 81mil votes. She will at best do 72mil. Do the math.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

To make high prices happen? Well she was fired.

Her political career is dead

 

[d0gbreath]

Those planned super huge tax cuts to America's wealthiest citizens will trickle down to the middle class voters, like they always do.

Just stop. She did exactly what any VP would have done

Name a VP that failed to break a tie in the Senate in favor of the opposition

She was the best candidate to run against Trump

Keep up retard

Probably all the stoner Gen Z wonks............to stoned to vote.

But that VP never went on TV and or social media to explain why they did that. Didn’t separate themselves from the candidate who was removed due to being unpopular. Unique circumstances

And she lost badly. Guess your party has some soul searching to do. Keep watching MSDNC. You sound ignorant .

Had any VP ever done that?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Had any VP ever done that?

Had any VP ever push out a sitting president and take their spot?

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I agree. What you fail to understand is the policies she was a tie breaker on were not popular with Americans.

If you try to shoot me or stab me it'll be your last day on earth.

If you lie to me I'll just vote your sorry ass out of office.

How'd that work out?

I linked this to the Reddit section for the New York times and it shouldn't be behind a paywall.

It's a good article it starts off in the right direction but predictably loses its way halfway through and meanders off into apologia, pubescent rationalization and a desperate attempt not to see the realities of our political landscape such as it is today.

Opinion | Voters to Elites: Do You See Me Now?

Donald Trump is a monstrous narcissist, but there’s something off about an educated class that looks in the mirror of society and sees only itself.

www.nytimes.com

I don't understand what's wrong with just plain old honesty. Why can no one face it? JK Rowling ingeniously invented the mirror of Arissette for her readers.... I wonder if we could hire her to create one for us as a human race?

You have to understand that honesty means also looking in the mirror and being willing to admit that if you see ugliness looking back that's what's actually there. No it's not the silver back reflective paint being co-opted, it's not some evil spell cast on the reflection to distort it.... It's actually you! As a society we simply are not there yet.

The answers to the results of the most recent election are so much more simple than everybody wants them to be.

Some years ago I read an interesting political analysis on the pendulum like swing of political preferences from administration to administration here in the United States.

Yes it's that simple. A lot of our voting public simply don't like to have the same thing twice in a row regardless of what it is. It's an effect on our elections.

There is a certain percentage of voters out there who think to themselves "okay Republicans had four years now it's time to give the Democrats four years"... And vice versa.

There's absolutely no science to this process and no intellectual examination that can dissect it into a better strategy next time around.

Maybe it's an indictment of our voting system in general. One gets the distinct impression that the vote should not be available to every nitwit, moron, hellgrammite, and intellectually hobbled backwards bumpkin...Ahh!!! But that's just it!! It is!!

The average American is a much easier person to get along with than his political masters would have you believe. While every population of humans throughout history has always had it's good citizens, bad citizens and absolute criminal citizens.....The Majority of people by far, regardless of skin color, culture or politic are all interested in the same thing; a reasonably peacefully existence that shows mutual respect the one's neighbor who hopefully is no more than just another human being with other subcategories being completely irrelevant and unnecessary to observe.

I don't think we should fool ourselves into thinking that there are any universal lessons to learn here. But I can put my finger on a couple things done by those purporting to represent the left that probably drove the last few nails into the coffin lid this time around.

Obama's little lecture to black men, I think was a catastrophe. A lot of black men don't see Obama as a true black man. I wonder if he thinks about that?

Joe Biden's garbage comment probably moved the needle a little bit but I think all it really did was unify the conservative vote. None of the people he called garbage we're going to vote for Harris anyway.

For the past 3 years the voices have been shouting from the rooftops Economy! Economy! Economy!

It's one very simple and easy to understand issue.... Pointing to all the parts of the world and trying to tell those complaining about it but they have it better than others.... is not a successful strategy. Telling a person who just had his car towed away by the repo Man that the economic data shows that we are a booming economy.... is not a successful strategy.

If there's one thing that the Democratic left excelled at this time around it was the ability to pack their ears densely full of cotton and to continue to speak up over the voices that would eventually be going to the polls.

I kept waiting for you to make a point the whole time I was reading your essay. I didn't see one other than "Democrats bad" and the answer to why the election turned out as it did is obvious. You just didn't name it.
My reaction to the opinion piece (Brooks is on the NYT editorial staff because he's conservative, but one of the few that's not crazy) is his indulged in some dubious self flagellation for being educated and possessing above average wealth.

All the exit polls I've seen say the election was decided by the disaffected middle/low income voter who felt pinched by inflation (then misdirected their anger at Harris for being a part of the Biden admin) and have been frustrated by their financial situations for many years. A consequence of both parties being tone deaf to their plight, because they could. And of a failure by the affected constituencies to demand change from their elected representatives and vote them out if they didn't produce it.

 

[marvin martian]

How about the obvious?

Harris was a bad candidate.

Trump didn't get many more votes than he did in 2020.

But Harris got a lot less than Biden did, and if those people hadn't stayed home, she'd have won.

Sure, Racism and Misogyny were factors, but so were white men getting a little tired of being blamed for all the flaws in society.

15 million of your voters stayed home and didn't vote against Hitler? That's what you're going with?

Lol
