I'm suggesting the Dems better find someone else. They just got their butts kicked with one California liberal...

Newsom's campaign kicks off today!

There's no way in hell he's getting elected.

Those prices aren't coming back without a serious recession/depression.

Exactly. If Trump carries through with his promises, I hope everyone is taking note of current prices. They're actually likely to get MUCH worse within the next two years.

And many of you low-ed Connies had better be ready to take the low wage jobs left open by deporting 10 million immigrants.

Dems will lose the house as well. And Republicans will no longer have Dems to blame for the damage.

This brings up a curious question for Connies... How much time do we need to give Trump to "fix it all" before we can point out how big a failure his policies are?

I see absolutely no way that Trumps plans will help a majority of the American people. But I suppose there should be some amount of time for his next disaster to take effect.

No, they don't.

Way to go dems. You did it again.

union members are voting more than ever republican.

Yes. Even as Republicans still attempt to destroy their unions, and many of the benefits those unions have helped bring about.

I predict we'll all know who won by inauguration day.

#145 was directed to #143

I don't think very many people understand that 91% IS miles away from them.

Even though he's accomplished nothing that raises taxes, many Trump supporters believe Biden has raised their taxes. Hell!, many middle class folks still believe inheritance taxes affect them.

I think the one of the most significant problems in the US is that so many are too lazy to become informed.

And no, I don't believe Sanders ever proposed a tax increase that steep for anyone.

#140

I think a vast majority would happily trade for the period "where high income earners were taxed at 91% and union membership was strong". That was also a period where one earner could more easily support an entire household. If they really thought about it, most Trump supporters would realize that is exactly when they thought America was great.

until they realized they were stuck in a 1200 square foot house with one car.

I currently have a 3000 sq ft house and several vehicles. Sometimes I'm pretty tired of maintaining it all. If it were entirely up to me, I could be pretty happy with much less. The US obsession with consumption and possession is not healthy. When did we decide that owning things or going into excessive debt to possess things is what's necessary to make us happy? The US needs to stop trying to copy the 1 percent.

It is an undeniable fact that quality of life has decreased

The standard of living has decreased all across America in the timeframe you mention. It has been declining since Reagan and his cronies implemented supply side economics (trickle-down). But many Republicans continue to bite on the trickle-down scam like carp bite on worms. You suckers LET the rich get richer through cronyism, while the middle class pays for the deficit destroying tax cuts with sweat and the American treasure.

Riiiight. Like you have 10 bucks.

Even if the conservative husbands don't know who their wives vote for, if Harris wins there will probably be quite a few wife beatings over it.

Who's going to pay for this ----?

Since you point out that it's part of the problem; To start, I personally wouldn't be opposed to forcing the likes of "Black Rock, Vanguard and State Street" to liquidate at a loss, and/or finance lots of new construction of affordable housing.

#45 | Posted by eberly

The economy is effected by many factors. Trump/Republican, and Musk economic policies will likely have dramatically bad outcomes. ..Probably FAR worse even than typical conservative policy.

descent should be decent

a time where we watched huge investment firms like Black Rock, Vanguard and State Street swallow up as much of American housing as they could.

#40 | Posted by lfthndthrds

What would Trump have done to stop that? I've never heard him say anything about it. But he probably has a "concept of a plan".... just two weeks away.

And, are you advocating for government intervention into the markets? That's VERY unRepublican of you.

If Donald were a descent human being his staff wouldn't have to say anything.

I don't really see any leg drag. But the video of him trying to grab the truck door handle is somewhat concerning.

Whose to blame here:

Trump
McConnell
Comey Barret
Alito
Thomas
Keggenaugh
Gorsuch
Roberts
Hotwheels
Texas
Heritage Foundation
Susan Collins

Anyone else?

Anyone else?...

Yes!! Trump voters!

I agree that the current Administration hasn't been tough enough on Netanyahu. But here is the alternative. Trump is likely to let Netanyahu wipe Gaza from the face of the earth.

I highly doubt it was a GOP'er. this is Washington State, not many GOP's there.

#14 | Posted by boaz

Even in the bluest of places, about 20 percent are still Republicans. And visa-versa. Where I live, about 3 out of 10 of us generally will not vote for Republicans.

No place is completely blue or red. The entire country is shades of purple.

The women in my family will vote however they wish.

#28

That probably chased it off of this thread. But it will pop up on another thread, spouting the same tired garbage. The stupid is persistent.
