I went to the gas station before voting yesterday and a redbull was $4 and a small bag of chips $3. I knew at that point there is a good chance that Trump would win.

I don't understand any logic that suggests Trump would improve this situation.

    Like many things, trumpers are happy to believe it whether the logic is there or not.

    I’ve seen real people I know personally, people with degrees and with jobs that affect people’s lives, honestly look forward to the lower gas prices and inflation if he were to get elected.

    In think there’s just a lot of ignorance, and people not paying attention to real events and falling back to thinking that voting Republican means you support hard work and white people and saving money, while voting Democrat means you support tax & spend and love lazy minorities.

    😮‍💨 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?

    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.

    shrug are people blaming biden for inflation? or for his lack of action against price gouging? those are two very different reasons with similar outcomes for biden and harris.

    yup I'm aware. harris also refused to commit to keeping khan. So americans assuming they're aware of these facts have two signals, one from the biden admin and the other from harris herself. personally I'm going to infer from the one harris sent herself.

    But remember most americans dont care and dont pay attention to presidential orders unless they're effective; and the price of milk, eggs, and cereal are still 50%, if not more, higher than they should be. so how effective was biden? Why are my kellog flakes $7 dollars when the store brand is $3? its clearly not a supply chain/manufacturing issue the products are identical. this is rhetorical for you to think about what youre saying.

    So “Why are my kellog flakes $7 dollars when the store brand is $3”? Because people will pay for it?

    and thats why biden's admin is at historically low approval. like you he was unwilling to take the steps he needed to take to stop the gouging. its why he was ousted and harris lost.

    not because of their policies that were ineffective. but because they wouldn't fight. they wouldn't fight for workers, they wouldn't fight for arabs.

    there was a solution. biden just wasnt willing to do it and neither are you. you're not even willing to discuss breaking up monopolies, applying huge windfall taxes on over priced goods, mobilizing the government agencies in creative ways to address the problem. and kellogs is a monopoly.

    now please get back on track. this conversation bores me. I certainly stopped buying the $7 dollar cereal age ago. I was simply demonstrating the price gouging still going on. Your lack of creativity in addressing bad actors isn't my problem nor does it resolve the issue with democratic party being an absolute dumpster fire when it comes to campaigning.

    Your like an abused significant other clinging to your partner. 'they arent always this way!' sometimes you just need to let them go. which is essentially what happened to the democrats this election.

    Goal posts haven't been moved. People blamed biden for inflation. We both agree on this.

    You're the one insisting i defend their views. I have no interest in doing so. Ive given you some reasons you keep insisting they're invalid. Shrug thats a you problem. Personally I dont give a donkeys ass about what bankers and investors think. Have a good day.
