This is why abandoning the "grocery store" strategy for "trump said naughty words" was a huge mistake.

I find all of this Monday morning quarterbacking pretty silly. Trump was literally fellating the mic and rambling incoherently a few days before the vote. "Strategy," hahah. Nothing Kamala's campaign coulda done was gonna get those 15 million people that chose not to vote, if simply listening to Trump didn't.
I do think that when harris said stuff like "stop price gouging" fascist media made the mistake of airing her and combatting the point - which is weak sauce on their part. More of that would probably have worked. Less ads about trump unfitness more about reducing grocery costs.
Grocery costs will continue to go up, because climate change has disrupted food production and distribution (among other things.) We could make prices fall artificially, but the actual cost is higher. And anything we do to change that must be paid in more externalities. Americans don't want to have the hard conversations. We want pleasant half- truths and lies. That's what we elected.
Nah. The comparative price of food will go down if wages rise. And wages are artificially low. Food scarcity is not yet a serious issue in the USA. It's a purely political issue.

Thanks for the blocks, I guess.
Yes, the lesser evil lost to the greater one again, and they and their diehard supporters insist on learning nothing.

We gotta look Canadian when we go out of the country now.
It's going to be fun when it's Americans getting banned from international events.
this voting system is stupid as f@%k though: as a voter, you should be able to sort your candidates as per your preference, not chose pick one and only one

Democrats lost worse on 2024 than Republicans did 2020. We judge Republicans for supporting their party after Trump effectively commandeered it but we don't hold ourselves to the same standard when the Democratic party has been shown to be an absolute and abject failure. Maybe it's time we look in the mirror. We gave Democrats three chances, 2016, 2020, and 2024 and they failed to deliver every time. We need to hold ourselves to the same standards we hold Republicans and start thinking about alternatives.
